Greatest Celtic of All Time Poll

[SShoreFan]

How is Red Auerbach not on the list? Everyone knows he was the greatest Celtic- that's why they named the court for him! Do any of the others have statues?

The question on the poll is -- Greatest Celtic Player of All Time.

Arnold is in a league by himself.

Thanks for the TP -- my guess is, Cornbread is a member of Celticsblog and he voted for KG!!!

How could you not vote for Bill and Bird?  I think its pretty clear that they are two guys in a league by themselves.  Garnett is a great player, but not in that category (yet).  With any luck, maybe I could put in a vote for KG in 3 or 4 years.

Bill and Bird no contest

I voted for Russell the first time and can't vote again.  Tommy would be my second vote if I could vote a second time.  11 rings for Russell, 10 rings for Tommy.  That speaks for itself.  Bird was a great Celtic for 13 years.  He won 3 championships and then jumped ship to Indiana.   Tommy has been a Celtic for 50+ years.  I have to put him right behind Russell although Bird was one of my favorite all time players.

Just for future reference, you pick two guys (or options)at once.

The person who voted for Walker should be stripped of their voting privileges

[Scribbles]

Well its pretty obvious most people agree Bird and Russell.  Pretty easy picks there.

I like Red's statue better (much less creepy looking).



And for the record Zaid Abdul-Aziz had more career points for the C's than Arnold did.

It is pretty obvious who the front runners are for the post. Where would you put these guys in order. I added a few guys not on the list.

1) Russell
2) Bird
3) Cousy
4) Heinsohn
5) Havlicek
6) McHale
7) Sharman
KC Jones
9) Jo Jo
10) Cowens
11) Parish
12) Pierce

Certainly some of these guys could be switched a few spots. I didn't include Garnett/Walker becuase they have not won a title and have not played a good chunk of their careers elsewhere. Pierce could definitely move up with a title.

Can't believe this is even a question ... Bill Russell ... period. (Bird a close second).
