Without IT the Celtics don't get Horford, probably and Durant doesn't even give us a second thought. Durant may have never been going to Boston but I believe IT helped to get him to consider the possibility.

From the moment he arrived IT improved the Celtics and he continues to do that on and off the court. I like his attitude and believe he has his heart in the chase for a title. IT, AB and Al are the three players who help attract another top shelf player or two.

Yes, IT is a weapon on the offensive end for sure.

"The little guy" has endless energy, and enthusiasm. I'm still amazed at the things he can do for a 5-9 inch player, and this is after 100's of games watching him.

from littles to bigs, they cry when they see IT4 coming with the ball! Slide and glide with some flips and dips. Can't be stopped!
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)

IT is a brilliant player, and they'd be nuts not to re-sign him for 3 times what they're paying Zeller. 

The only concern is little guys like him who go to the basket tend to get hurt. Iverson comes to mind.  IT will crash at least a couple of times every game going to the basket, and you hold your breath when he gets up.
The good thing is that IT works on his body.  He's a solid little guy.  Iverson never worked on his body.

That's an understatement.

IT is packed as dense as a bowling ball.

And looks like one rolling through the paint.

Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

TP to the OP for a deserved, timely thread.

IT is very likable as both a player and as a human being.

HUGE heart. Tremendously skilled offensive player. Electric.

Face of the franchise, respected around the league.

I hope he stays here for the rest of his career.

Thanks for bringing excitement back to Celtic basketball, IT.
