Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Boston Celtics.
As for all of our top 50 players in basketball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, Boston made history by winning their 18th NBA Championship, giving them the sole lead. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the Celtics from beginning to end, giving us some significant list jumps, though no new entrants. That will likely change next year.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Bill Russell
2. Larry Bird
3. John Havlicek
4. Bob Cousy
5. Paul Pierce
You can find the entire list here.
Jayson Tatum, who added another First Team All-NBA, moved from #15 to #12.
Al Horford inched up three spots to #19.
Jaylen Brown, who won the Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals MVP vaulted to #21 from #27.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
