PS - Could somebody who voted for Ed Macauley talk to me about him because I frankly just don't understand why he's up there and want to know more. All I know about him is that he was here six seasons, was an All Star most seasons and All NBA a couple times, never won a championship in Boston (though he did win in St. Louis), and it seems to me his biggest asset to the organization was being the piece that allowed us to move up from 7th or 8th to 2nd in the draft to take Russell. I mean, helping us bring in Russell is great and all, but I'd give that credit to Red, not Macauley. Can somebody who saw him play explain a little better what was great about him as a player on the Celtics? Maybe because he played with Cousy and Sharman (pre-Russell, pre-championships) I consider him the third guy on teams in an 8 team league that didn't win any titles. But I may be influenced by Cousy's and Sharman's later accomplishments, and frankly just don't know. This is not a criticism of voting for him, he's just one guy I can't find much out about because he precedes even our earliest championship.
Macauley was the team's first superstar. He was absolutely dominant in the early NBA.
1950-51: First team All-NBA, All-star, #3 in points per game, #2 in field goal percentage, #2 in free throws
1951-52: First team All-NBA, All-star, #4 in points per game, #3 in field goal percentage, #2 in free throws
1952-53: First team All-NBA, All-star, #3 in points per game, #1 in field goal percentage, #2 in free throws
1953-54: First team All-NBA, All-star, #3 in points per game, #1 in field goal percentage
1954-55: All-star
1955-56: All-star
Arguably, the only players to be as dominant during their time in green have been Bill Russell and Larry Bird.
