PJ Brown was huge for us, played tons of important minutes in the playoffs.  I'll also never forget the huge shot he hit for us down the stretch in Game 7 against Cleveland.
He's on survivor and bragging about the championship he won and you just ranked him literally the least important part of our team. Ha!

Least important player on a championship team is still pretty brag worthy.

I would say just being an NBA player is pretty brag worthy. Being the least important player on a championship team doesn't really up his status that much.

No? I think a lot of NBA players, past and present, would disagree. Winning a ring is special, regardless of how you get it.

Only 15 players in the last 30 years have won a ring in Boston. To me, it would be incredibly cool to be one of those guys.

Top five for me.

Ainge put it together #1

KG .....mindset character to base the team on    #2

Pierce ....the closer ...winner         #3


Rondo and Allen were equal in their specific strengths  # 4 A and 4 B

Perk ......#5

Even cooler for your all-time fave, Morrison, to claim two championship rings.

I dont get why people have House so low in their list. House was crucial in a lot of our wins, esp on those games Rondo was ineffective.

However I could have been on that team instead of Pollard and we still would have won..

Took the stats from basketball reference.com for Winshares, Box +/-, and VORP for 2007-2008 and then ranked the players relative to KG who ranked first in each stat in the regular season and playoffs, Seems lake a reasonable enough result. Obviously Danny is first for putting it all together..

Kevin Garnett   100%
Paul Pierce   83%
Ray Allen   60%
Rajon Rondo   47%
James Posey   43%
Kendrick Perkins   41%
Eddie House   20%
Leon Powe   8%
Tony Allen   2%
Glen Davis   0%
P.J. Brown   0%
Scot Pollard   -3%
Brian Scalabrine   -10%
Sam Cassell   -18%
Gabe Pruitt   -22%

Playoffs
Kevin Garnett   100%
Paul Pierce   69%
Ray Allen   66%
James Posey   59%
Rajon Rondo   51%
Kendrick Perkins   38%

Yeah really! I like the guy, both on our team briefly and on Survivor now (great show by the way- it really is one of the few shows that just gets better and better each season) but Pollard really wasn't part of our championship team as he got hurt so early on and never played in the playoffs when it mattered.
