Nate Archibald
Danny Ainge
Paul Silas

Only the order is different:

Ainge
Silas
Archibald

(Tiny ranks behind the others because he only won one championship here.)

You're right Roy -- A different order

Tiny
Silas
Ainge

Yep.

Silas
Tiny
Ainge

Just need somebody to put up Ainge-Tiny-Silas and somebody with Silas-Ainge-Tiny to complete the trifecta box.

keeping it on a roll  -- it's a beautiful thing

Poor Don Nelson, I think that we're probably all drastically underrating him.  He averaged double digit points for eight straight seasons, despite never playing more than 27.5 minutes per game.  Over a ten year stretch (in which he helped the team win five championships) he never averaged fewer than 17.8 points per 36 minutes.

While he didn't put up superstar numbers, he was a key contributor on five championship squads.  I've got him over Antoine and Ray in my book.

agreed
nellie should keep antoine from getting in
and while i love ray allen only 2 years i don't think he can't be here
don chaney was also a very good player

Most underrated players from this GREAT topic? Sam Jones jojo white
overrated? maxwell

well I had 1. Ainge, 2. Nelson, 3.Tiny, so I'm on board with that too.

I had Ainge simply because he was a very solid player for us, won two championships as a player AND came back and won us one as a GM and has given us relevance and entertaining basketball again.

Nellie's next on my list for nominees provided one of Tiny, Silas or Ainge makes the list this time.  After that, I'm not sure.  Lots to pick from.
Chaney's possible.  Toine maybe.  Rondo, Ray or Perk from the recent championship.  Maybe even Big Al.  Maybe someone will even throw Dino Radja some love.     A lot to consider for that prized 25 spot 

Taking a look back at the list when it's finshed would be interesting and definitely generate a lot of debate.  Personally I'd lower KG and drop KC Jones (definitely a contributor to championships but not one of the main contributors on those teams and wouldn't merit a spot (IMHO) if considering just his stats.

Don Chaney was every bit the player KC was

Thatīs the spirit!   

Paul Silas
Danny Ainge
Don Chaney

#3 was hard. It could be anyone from Chaney, Nelson, Allen, Archibald...
Chaney was the only Celtic who played with Russell and Bird on the same team. Itīs not logical, but enough of a reason for me to give him my third vote.
