It's pretty cool that every truly great Celtic has a championship.

I couldn't stand him, but if Antoine's career ended at the same age as Reggie Lewis' did, you could argue that Antoine was the greater Celtic.

I can't believe I just typed that!

I saw Reggie play, and I saw 'toine play, and I can state with certainty that I would never have argued that.  Reggie was on his way to fulfilling his potential as a Celtic...still growing;  Antoine was not, had abandoned his potential in search of stats....Glen Davis reminds me of AW in that way.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...

Good think Pierce won one, because it surely would have been him.

Easy Ed, maybe.  Or Reggie Lewis - he didn't win a ring, did he?  Did Tiny Archibald win one?  But mainly my thoughts go  to Len Bias - the greatest Celtic never to play for the Celtics.

Tiny won with Larry (1981).

I say Reggie too,

Dino Radja, Xman, Dee Brown, Antoine, Kenny Anderson, Starbury Joe Johnson & Nique not too far behind.
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.
