Kryie has a legitimate shot at being a top 3 Celtic of all time
Whoa there. I guess if he spends a decade here, wins 3 or so championships and averages right around 20-25ppg, 5-7apg and 3-5rpg he could get in the argument for top 5-10, but top 3 is over the top.
Russell has a bucketload of championships, is a top 2 rebounder of all time (around 4000 ahead of Moses and Kareem), and is perhaps the best defensive player of all time.
Bird is one of the smartest, most skilled and toughest players to ever play, and Kyrie will never touch his peak. He might touch his success though.
Hondo was the best offensive player on nearly a handful of championship teams, and at his best was averaging LeBron-like numbers with efficiency that would stand up in today's game.
He could maybe overtake the likes of Pierce, Cousy and McHale if he did what I mentioned above. But I don't think it's likely.
