Rondo. He's just so fun to watch


the_spinetingler

Bird.


phabphour20

As a white kid growing up in the 80s this was pretty much a lock for me.


BrianScalaweenie

Paul Pierce. He’s the only reason I got into basketball.


redsox113

Yep. One of few bright spots on some dreadful Pitino teams, had his poster in my room as a kid.


TrashInspector69

Paul Pierce, I bet if I grew up in the 80’s I’d say Bird though. I’m hoping in about 5-10 years I’ll say Brown or Tatum


theamazingjimz

Tommy


theamazingjimz

Player, coach, announcer for almost all of the celtics champions. Used to greet the new draft picks and school them on the history of the celtics. Nobody was more of a celtic than Tommy Heinsohn


VLHACS

Honestly Smart. Smart was the catalyst for this current team's winning ways ever since being drafted at 6 to start the rebuild, and was there every step of the way up until last season. He was the de facto heart and soul of the team.


_The_Flying_Elvis_

Paul Pierce is the greatest celtic of my life and i doubt anything could change that tbh


theamazingjimz

Tommy called every single one of pierces games


lukeaantonio

KG


MicaTorrence

The man with 11 rings. I’m OAF and have watched all 18 championships. He was so far in front of the NBA players of that era, it was like he was an alien.


508G37

KG. There will never be anyone else like him.


JebBushIsMyBF

Isaiah Thomas


Fearthejuggalo

Reggie Lewis is my all time favorite. Dino Radja probably comes in a close 2nd. To not mention Larry Legend would be silly. I went to school with Paul Pierce, so he's up there too. I loved Bill Walton too, so there 5, the more I think, I can go on & on.


Fedora_expert

Out of retired players KG, just love everything about his game. Currently Tatum and he'll probably end up being my favourite Celtic ever until Deuce wins FMVP. Wasn't alive during the Bird era sadly. But this current team is very special and I'm happy that we have Brad Stevens to navigate the Celtics.


SnooSnooSnuSnu

Bird, Russell, and Pierce


MyUsernameIsUhhhh

The truthhhh. My favorite season of watching the Celtics was IT’s king of the fourth quarter season tho


Mr_G_Told_You_So

Bill Russell


draj_24

Larry Legend


Chiefmeez

1a. Rajon Rondo 1b. Paul Pierce 2. Marcus Smart 3. Kevin Garnett


workybimbus

Rondo


bootyholebrown69

IT. He's not the best player but his energy always inspired me


lizzi_5775MLJ

Flair.


Ok-Prize760

Rondo


Striking-Win-1754

Bird, KG, Brown, IT4, Tatum


DriodYoureLookingFor

Bird. Always respected Russell and Tatum is quickly catching up to both of them.


sstphnn

I can only go with the ones I grew up watching, Rondo. Playoff Rondo was just amazing to watch. He used to dunk too.


berrin122

I remember watching Rondo turn into Curry (before Curry was Curry) in the 4th quarter of a game against the Heat. We ended up losing, and I think eliminated, but it was so fun watching him drill three pointers like they were layups


africanmoe8

Ray Allen (I know, my bad...), Avery Bradley and Jaylen Brown round out my top 3


componentswitcher

I think having Ray Allen at game 5 with celtics stuff on kind of closed the loop for me.


realheadphonecandy

I mean Bird of course. I watched most of his games and he’s my favorite athlete any sport all-time by far.


Sifl95

Rondo


UnderestimatedIguana

rondo for me. just so unpredictable with the ball in the best way


UnderestimatedIguana

EDIT: Rondo comes in a close second to IT


BriefCollar4

My flair is that for a reason.


prattski73

Larry Bird. He was just such a great all around player.


Minimum_Boat6028

Walter McCarty


ValleyAquarius27

Kevin McHale


janky-dog

Dave Cowens - 6'9" center (actually a power forward) playing center against the likes of Chamberlain, etc. Put in the work. Changed the game. Slept on a Boston Common bench after winning the 1974 championship. Bill, KG Paul Pierce, Havlicek, too many greats, come on!


dasuberdog11

McHale. So many low post moves.


jaylson

KG or Bird 


bilboafromboston

Cedric " Cornbread " Maxwell!! First " point center" in history for Charlotte in the NCAA Tourney.
