My two favorite non-Celtics ever were Dominique Wilkins and KG. And then they both became Celtics. Guess the title goes to Duncan then, but I haven't fully thought this topic through.

Patty Mills and Joe Ingles. End of list.



What do you think of Giddey and D. Daniels? I had those two on my fantasy basketball team. They both played really well this year.

Was a little unsure of Giddey, pleasantly surprised to see how good of a year he had at Chicago. He started his pro career at the Adelaide 36ers so have a soft spot for him.

Love Dyson Daniels. He is our best current player without a doubt IMO. Hope to see him on the Celtics one day.

I used to be a big Kyrie fan, before he started acting crazy.  Unfortunately that coincided with him becoming a Celtic.

Jrue was one of my all-time binkies before he came here.  He's a great player, teammate and citizen.

And adding to my original list:  Ginobili, Brand, Dikembe, Hakeem.  Pau Gasol until he became a Laker.

Jerry West. He had the most beautiful textbook jumpshot in history and he is the only Laker who has been honest about the Lakers rivalry with the Celtics. Obviously, I am very happy we won all those finals, but you have to feel for Jerry and how badly he suffered from those losses.

Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

Let me give a big shout out for Willis Reed. I lived near NY in the 70?s and was a huge Knick fan. I loved the whole team, Walt Clyde Frazier, Earl the Pearl Monroe, Dick Barnett, Dave DeBusschere, Bill Bradley etc. but Reed was special in an era of many great big men. I will never forget him coming out to start that Finals game with the back injury and the boost it gave to the team.

I only like Celtics.  Everyone else is the enemy. I respect certain players but I only like whose on my favorite team in any sport.  Bleed only green all day.

Karl Anthony Towns. Was at a game a few years ago against Minnesota. We killed them. It was ugly. There was a STM event after the game, so we were there for a while. KAT came into the stands to chat with some friends and the kids just attacked him. Even though he just wanted to talk to his friends after a huge loss, he stopped and took a picture with every kid who came up to him, and those kids were all wearing green.

Total class act.
