NBA 2K18: Predicting The Roster For Every All-Time Team
30. Boston Celtics
Centers: Bill Russell, Robert Parish, Dave Cowens
Forwards: Kevin McHale, Larry Bird, John Havlicek, Tom Sanders, Tom Heinsohn
Guards: Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Bob Cousy, Dennis Johnson, Isaiah Thomas
Starting lineup: Russell, McHale, Bird, Pierce, Cousy
This is where the fun begins, as Celtics can basically have two 13-roster all-time teams. Such thing are inevitable when a team wins championships in different eras.
Obviously some players will not make the cut, while other selections may seem controversial. Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen or Antoine Walker are three of the most recent omissions that come to mind.
The most controversial picks are: Sanders, Rondo and Thomas. Sanders gets the nod over Kevin Garnett because he won eight NBA Championships as a member of the Celtics. Rondo has the best assist and steal per-game averages in team history. Thomas? The most points per game. His last season was legendary, even by Celtics standards.
