I don't think Kevin Garnett or Ray Allen should be on the celtics all-time list, not homegrown and their best years were with other teams.

That's a joke right?

"Not homegrown?" Who the hell cares? They won bostons only championship in the last 31 years!

At worst maybe you have a case for ray Allen but I don't see anyone else more deserving necessarily.

I was serious but it's not that serious, and it's only my opinion, shame on me for speaking on who I thought shouldn't be on the team.

I think it's pretty clear they will have MANY players on multiple All-Time teams. It's the only way if they aren't using generics. Also with that logic Wilt would not be on the All-Time Lakers. His best years were with the Sixers.

No one thinks those Brooklyn picks will make the squad?

POINT GUARDS (5)
Isaiah Thomas (23.8 PER, 2 years, 2x All-Star)
Bob Cousy (19.8 PER, 13 years, 13x All-Star)
Rajon Rondo (17.0 PER, 9 years, 4x All-Star)
Jo Jo White (14.5 PER, 10 years, 7x All-Star)
Dennis Johnson (13.4 PER, 7 years, 1x All-Star)

In two seasons Thomas has established himself as the best guard in franchise history. A lot of people might think it's too early to put him on an All-Time team (particularly with a franchise as storied as this one), but it's not like any of you would be leaving Kevin Durant off the Warriors All-Time team, now would you?

A lot of people will probably slam Dennis Johnson into their top 15 but he spent the back-half of his career with the Celtics, not the front-half.

Sam Jones (18.7 PER, 12 years, 5x All-Star)
Bill Sharman (18.2 PER, 10 years, 8x All-Star)
Ray Allen (16.1 PER, 5 years, 3x All-Star)
Danny Ainge (14.3 PER, 8 years, 1x All-Star)
Frank Ramsey (15.5 PER, 9 years)

Ray Allen (even in his post-prime) is likely the best SG in franchise history when we account for era differential. Gordon Hayward could have something to say about this shortly.

SMALL FORWARDS (5)
Larry Bird (23.5 PER, 13 years, 12x All-Star)
Paul Pierce (20.6 PER, 15 years, 10x All-Star)
John Havlicek (17.5 PER, 16 years, 13x All-Star)
Reggie Lewis (17.1 PER, 5 years, 1x All-Star)
Cedric Maxwell (16.8 PER, 8 years)

Top three easy locks. Don't really see the appeal of Lewis, beyond the lore of his untimely death.

POWER FORWARDS (5)
Kevin Garnett (21.1 PER, 6 years, 5x All-Star)
Kevin McHale (20.0 PER, 13 years, 7x All-Star)
Tom Heinsohn (17.8 PER, 9 years, 6x All-Star)
Antoine Walker (16.9 PER, 8 years, 3x All-Star)
Bailey Howell (17.9 PER, 4 years, 1x All-Star)

The fact that Antoine Walker has a semi-legit case says a lot about how bad the PF position has been for much of the NBA's history.

CENTERS (5)
Bill Russell (18.9 PER, 13 years, 12x All-Star)
Robert Parish (19.8 PER, 14 years, 9x All-Star)
Dave Cowens (17.2 PER, 10 years, 8x All-Star)
Ed Macauley (21.6 PER, 6 years, 6x All-Star) - 1950s honestly disqualifies him
Al Horford (17.7 PER, 1 year)

My Picks
PG: Thomas, Cousy, Rondo
SG: Jones, Sharman, Allen
SF: Bird, Pierce, Havlicek
PF: Garnett, McHale, Heinsohn (waiting to get knocked off by Gordon Hayward)
C: Russell, Parish, Cowens


I completely disagree with the IT assessment and would absolutely leave KD off the all-time Warriors team until he's stuck around for a few more seasons. Thomas is such a small part in team history, and throwing him in first because of PER leaves out a lot of other factors.

As much as some of these players deserve to be on the team, guys like JoJo and Bill Sharman probably won't make it cause they've been missing from the game/MyTeam in years past. SO they'll probably be replaced by players you normally wouldn't include on the team. I imagine this will be the case for a lot of the All-Time teams.
