One of pro basketball's most iconic franchises, the Boston
Celtics--along with the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots,
both of whom have been the subject of "50 Greatest" treatments by
sports historian Robert W. Cohen--represent a multistate region
rather than just a city or state. Many of the sport's very best
have played for the Celtics, including Bill Russell, Bob Cousy,
John Havlicek, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Paul Pierce. But who
is the greatest of them all? In The 50 Greatest Players in Boston
Celtics History, Cohen attempts to determine just that. Using as
measuring sticks the degree to which they impacted the fortunes of
the team, the extent to which they added to the Celtics legacy, and
the levels of statistical compilation and overall dominance they
attained while wearing a Celtics uniform, this book ranks, from 1
to 50, the top 50 players in team history. Quotes from opposing
players and former teammates are provided along the way, as are
summaries of each player's greatest season, most memorable
performances, and most notable achievements.
