My favorite celtic since Larry Bird.There...I said it
Ainge (prime) > Bradley (now) and it's not even close.Ainge was a better shooter, much better passer, a better finisher on the break and nearly as good at defending (plus taller). With Phoenix, Ainge guarded Scottie Pippen a lot in the NBA finals. Ainge was also at his best with the game on the line.Don't forget Ainge was an All-Star one year and if he played on worse teams he would have made more All-Star teams.With that said, Bradley could reach Ainge's level if he keeps improving. Ainge wasn't near the player in his 2nd season that he was later in his career.
