Mark Blount
Vin Baker
Stephon Marbury
Tony Allen
Mikki Moore

I don't think you missed anyone. Are we supposed to pick one from that list? If I had to choose I'd say Blount. The other guys tried they just weren't very good.

Nah, you can pick your own if you want.  I'm sure there will be plenty of other nominees.

Joe Forte always bothered me.

Probably more due to his ridiculous outfits and sideline antics.  Anybody remember the Scooby Doo outfit?

Mark Blount
Vin Baker
Stephon Marbury
Tony Allen
Mikki Moore

I would have to say your hate for Marbury can't really be based on his time here. He played a handful of games, shot poorly, but was a good soldier and tried to learn to play defense. Kind of same thing with Mikki Moore. I think players like Baker and Blount had a much worse impact on the team whether in terms of there play or there contracts. I would also add Wally to the team and perhaps Ratliff, who seemed to magically be able to play again once he left here.

I never liked Starbury, before, during, or after his time with the Celts.  Here, he didn't misbehave while under contract, but he also performed terribly.  This summer, of course, he went off the deep end once again.

There are several ways you can look at this...My biggest dislike for players this decade has come in the form of their contracts. Suspect #1, for me, was LaFrentz. He signified the end of the Antoine era (which was EXTREMELY disappointing to me) and he carried a ridiculous 6 year/13 mill per contract. Runners-up include Wally, Blount, and Baker.

Then there were players that we kept, but we shouldn't have- Kedrick Brown (instead of J. Johnson), Forte, G. Green- could we have gotten more for those players if we had traded them earlier?

And then there were players that just didn't fit in- those listed above, as well as Mikki Moore, Olowokandi, Ratliff, etc etc...I am sure there are many many others and I don't hate these guys, they just made the decade a little less enjoyable.

For me, no one can ever be as detestable as Risky Davis.  I hate him so much that it borders on irrational, unbridled insanity.  That fake-jumpshot-pass would literally drive me to punch myself in the side of the face.  And near the end, when he was blatantly trying to freeze Paul out of the offense and ball hogging, I was near suicide.

Thank God Danny was finally able to purge him from the roster like the malignant tumor that he was.  If only I could do the same from my memory banks. . .

hands down its gotta be Wally. I remember absolutely screaming at the TV while he bricked jumper after jumper, and he's one of the least athletic/slowest guys in the NBA. Doesn't help that we traded one of my favorite C's of the decade for him.

Mark Blount.










Big gap.

[celticsclay]

Was Todd Day this decade? He was a jack ace

[rondo987]

Jerome Moiso (is he a real person?) or anyone drafted by Chris Wallace

OMG please tell me you're not referring to Risky Davis here.  That's it, I'm sharpening my razor blades and refilling my prescription of propofol.  Hobbs, can I actually subtract Tommy Points from someone?  If not I'm going to have to take a garlic presser to my jewels.

(ignore this comment entirely if you were talking about someone besides Risky)

Probably gotta throw Scal in that category as well. I love Scal and I've loved him for this team since the arrival of the big 3. Prior to that though he couldn't do anything right in my mind (and his contract just made things worse)

Rickey Davis was really not that bad as a Celtic. He is by no means a winner, but the team was full of losers at that point and was not ready to win.
