Favorite Celtic
Kevin Garnett-Gotta Say KG, although it would have to have him in his prime, having the ultimate grizzled veteran who can act as the vocal leader and tone setter is a luxury that few teams can boast.

Non Celtic
Anthony Davis
I may have a bias toward transcendent defensive power forwards who can thrive at the five at well, but imo Davis is the real deal and could prove to be one of the greatest shot blockers ever. Honestly wish he would ditch the brow but his timing on shot blocking is unmatched by almost any player the league has ever seen.

Historic Celtic
Kevin Mchale
Historic Non Celtic
Sean Kemp

Favorite current Celtics:
KG - this is pretty self explanatory

Favorite active non-Celtisc:
Brandon Rush - I really love his game. I love those non superstars that could contribute on both ends of the floor and be a team player. He's my favorite one.

Favorite all time Celtics:
Antoine Walker - he brought me here.

Favorite all time non-Cetics:
Grant Hill (pre-injury): The man was a bright superstar before injuries killed his career.
2019 CStrong Historical Draft 2000s OKC Thunder.
PG: Jrue Holiday / Isaiah Thomas / Larry Hughes
SG: Paul George / Aaron McKie / Bradley Beal
SF: Paul Pierce / Tayshaun Prince / Brian Scalabrine

Favorite Celtic - Paul Pierce, The Truth. Idk what ill do when he retires.

Favorite Non Celtic(s) - Tracy Mcgrady, Brian Scalabrine - The White Mamba

Now if we were talking favorite video game players I have some weird ones. Nate Robinson, Daquan Cook, Vladimir Radmanovic and before he retired Speedy Claxton. Something about the little guys that makes it so easy to drop 50 pts a game. Daquan Cook is another story, idk how but hes gotta be shooting 80 percent from the 3 in my 2k season right now. Radmanovic, idk how to explain his 2k abilites either, the man just never misses anything.

Favorite Celtic:

KG -- Fire, passion, intensity, a healthy dose of crazy, best team defender in the game.

Favorite Non-Celtic:

Kevin Love -- The Great White Hope.  Nephew of a Beach Boy. Rebounding machine.  Dominates despite being "unathletic."  Can do anything on the court, at least on offense.
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?

My favorite All Time Celtic
Tie between Pierce and Bill Russell

Russell is such a great role model. He's like a book of philosophical tales

I don't want to pick favorites among Celtics, but my favorite old-school non-Celtic is Bill Laimbeer.  I just like his style.  If I were to play a pick-up game of basketball, I would be like a short Laimbeer who can't shoot or rebound.

Pierce and Durant.

From back in the day: Bird. Also, and while we're at it: I never could get myself to hate Magic. I just can't. He's a Laker and I should hate him but I can't.

Current Celtic - Rondo.  Just fun to watch when he is on. 

Non-Celtic - this changes pretty frequently depending on my mood, but I will go with Steve Nash.  I just love guys with exceptional skillsets, and Nash is kind of a throwback type player.  I am sure if he were playing on the C's, his lack of defense would bother me, but there is no one I enjoy watching more than him, in a random game the C's aren't playing in.
