To me, I can't put Pierce ahead of Cowens. Cowens was the best player on the Celtics for 2 Championships and Cowens was an MVP in another year, ROY another year.

Hell, if Pierce played in the 80's he might have passed Bird.


   If this was even close to true we'd have won 4-5 titles since 2007, even with KG's injuries.

I know Cowens was the MVP in '73 but its debateable that he was actually the best player on those teams. He was the heart but I think Havlicek was the soul. Don't forget that Cowens didn't win the Finals MVP either of the years he won.
