Name the five greatest Celtics of all time.

[Bluehorseshoe]

I'm not going to put up what I think because it doesn't match up with what USA Today has. I'm curious what everyone else thinks.

honorable (shameless way to add more than 5):Cowens, McHale, Lewis

[SlickFazzer]

The first four are in the bag, number 5 is a tough sucker.

[rjt721]

I don't see how anyone other than Russell can be No. 1.

[SlickFazzer]

You cant beat Russell. Every time you try to compare
different eras its a mess.

You're showing your age. West wouldn't have cracked the top 5 weird/ugly Celtics in the 80s.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Here's what they had....

1) Russell

2) Bird

3) Cousy

4) Havlicek

5) Mchale


The only one I questioned not being there was Robert Parrish, but no one else had him up there so I guess I was off.

My list looks about the same, but I'd probably swap Cousy and Havlicek and give an HM to Pete Maravich, and to Sam Jones, who I am surprised no one mentioned. Jones played on 10 championship teams with the Celtics, scored over 15,000 points and is one of the best PG of all time.

Geesh, when are we getting married?

You remind me of my ex from 10 years ago. I'm sitting with her and my friend in a sports bar (Pete Rose's restaurant in Florida.) having dinner. I'm talking to my friend about who to bet in the Celtic playoff game. (Of course rudely leaving her out of the conversation.)

She all of a sudden goes: "You know the Celtics are 22-3 when leading 3 games to none in a playoff series?" My friend and I look at her likes she's the greatest woman to ever walk the planet. I ask her "How did you know that Honey?". She goes "It just said it on the sports ticker that's over your head."
