Impressed by the Favourite 20 Songs submit, I assumed I’d situation a special type of offseason problem. We’ve all heard the Mt. Rushmore debates of biggest Boston Celtics however how about this for a special twist?
Who’re your high 10 favourite Celtics of all time that have been by no means teammates? This may be your private favorites or maybe the very best group you’ll be able to put collectively.
For instance: Should you choose Invoice Russell, you’ll be able to’t choose anybody he performed with (Cousy, Havlicek, Sam Jones, and so on.).
Since we don’t all have encyclopedia sort reminiscences, I’m offering you a lookup instrument to see who has been teammates with who: Basketball Reference
I don’t have a full checklist but as a result of I’m discovering it exhausting to depart out a few of the tent-post gamers in my fandom.
Invoice Russell
Dave Cowens (opps, it has been identified to me that Cowens and Chook have been teammates)
Larry Chook
Paul Pierce
Isaiah Thomas
Jayson Tatum
Every of the above had an extended profession that spanned a few years and naturally many teammates. So I’m scratching my head attempting to provide you with fill-in gamers that can get the checklist as much as 10.
Let’s see, Chook retired in ‘92 and Pierce was drafted in ‘98, so are there any darkish ages gamers price noting? Possibly Dino Raja.
Pierce was traded in 2013 and Tatum was drafted in 2017, so which brief timers can I choose from that period? I considered Jared Sullinger however he performed 45 video games with Pierce. See how tough that is?
The one possibility is to return and take out one of many huge names and fill in with others making a amount vs. high quality dilemma. As an example, I may pull Pierce and insert Antoine Walker which may unencumber somebody like Kevin Garnett.
Like I mentioned, I’m nonetheless engaged on my checklist, however please be happy to share yours! I promise I gained’t steal your concepts (notice: I’ll completely steal your concepts).
