Top 5 guys who would have made great Celtics

[cdif911]

there's a lot of top 5 lists out there right now and I was thinking about non-celtics in the NBA who you think would have fit right in, put team above themselves, worked hard, played to win every night, you know Celtics Pride  - you could have imagined them in green, yet of course they never played in green...current and former players are allowed

my list in no particular order

1) John Stockton
2) Grant Hill
3) Joe Dumars
4) Chris Mullin
5) Will Solomon (oh wait he was here!)

4. Kevin Durant
5. Joe Smith

I always thought Matt Harpring would've been a quality player to have.  Like as a 6th or 7th man.

Andrew Toney
Bill Lambieer
Will Solomon
Tim Duncan
Chris Mullin

Andrew Toney
Bill Lambieer
Will Solomon
Tim Duncan
Chris Mullin

I'm surprised by Lambieer - but the other 4 I agree with totally, especially Willie.... why do you think angry Bill would be a good fit?

Agreed.

(Not typed in an angry tone -- I just proof read it and it read angry - not the case.
First of all, he was born in Boston.  Second of all he was a scrapper and took no sh*t  (Danny Ainge in a forward's body).  Third of all, he did all the intangibles to win.  Fourthly, he was very good.

All that being said, there would have been no place to play him during his day as McHale and Parrish were both better players.  I hated him as much as Toney, but I respected his approach - always thought it was a Boston approach.

I could never see you being angry!  But pretty good ideas there, it would be tough to have him and Parish on the same court, but I get the idea - tough, scrappy, limited skills but made up for it in effort - and a bruiser - I wonder if other teams look at Perk as being a similar type of guy

What's really funny - is that one of my favorite Celtic moments was when Parish clocked Lambieer in the 87 playoffs.
