I'd say the guy who gets me giddy about being a Celtics the most often is KG.  Given that as my standard here's my order:

KG
PP
Rondo
Ray
Perk (and he seems to be getting me more giddy all the time)
Powe/Baby (they switch up)
Eddie when he's hot (see Perk note)
Walker for his dunking prowess

But when all is right in the world it's all about the UBUNTU
Yup

This is an impossible question for me.  The team has just been so likeable right down the entire roster for the last few years.  I tend to get a little more excited watching the young players who are still developing make great plays because I tend to hope that will become the norm for them, whereas we already know what we have in the Big 3.  Rondo is just awesome to watch and he's a stud who is still developing so maybe I should vote for him.  TA is still very exciting to me when he blows by his defender and gets to the rim.  But the one guy who makes me jump off the couch almost every time he does anything is Leon.  I love Leon!  He is a little beast under the hoop.

There isn't a player on this team I don't like.  I love them all but my favorite has never been a secret.  Perk has been my favorite ever since we drafted him.  There was just something about his attitude and work ethic that caught my attention. 

After Perk, Leon and Rondo are my favorites. (Could you guess that from my sig? :))

After those 3, I love everyone on this team.   I am very fast becoming a Bill Walker fan.  I really like the kid.  And I am liking Big Baby more and more every game.  And Ray Allen is right up there at the top too.  And of course Paul Pierce and KG have to be favorites too.  And Eddie House is a favorite.  I just love everyone on this team.  I even love the signings of Mikki Moore and Stephon Marbury.   

Once a player becomes a Celtic I love them. I think the only Celtic I didn't like (and still don't) is Mark Blount.

Kevin Garnett b/c he's the reason I jumped ship to become the Celtics fan I am today. I've always had a liking to the Celtics, including PP for being the lone Allstar for many years(and Antoine back in the day)And i rooted for them against NJ back in 2000 when The Spurs beat the Nets. All in all, KG fan for life, and now a Celtic fan as well
Can't stop, Rondo!

PP?
"The emblem of a warrior, it's the swagger of an athlete, a champion and dynasty, it's gifted, golden, genuine and glorious. It is a lower-case god. It's the goat. The greatest of all time. What's G? It is the heart, hustle and soul of the game."

Pierce.  

I grew up watching the Celtics with my dad, but didn't really become a real fan, as in "I like this team because I like them, not because my dad roots for them.", until Pierce's rookie season.  I was 14 years old, saw highlights of Pierce's first regular season game versus Toronto & just liked the way he played, started to watch games on a regular basis, & grew to develop my own affinity towards the team.  Have been a faithful follower ever since.

I am probably gonna have to say KG. He was my favorite non-Celtic. Since he became a Celtic I've loved him even more. I'm not turning my back on Pierce (or Ray or Rajon) but KG shades it.

Paul Pierce and it's not even close.  He's the best player I have ever seen in a Celtics uniform and his pride and passion embody what it is to be a Celtic.  Out of the big three he is the only one that is truly "ours" and I've been cheering for him since I was 12 years old.

The Captain... and THE TRUTH!!! Paul Pieeeeeerce!!!
