As the team that has won the most NBA championships, the Boston Celtics in the history of these decades, there have been many talented players, of which the point guard is indispensable, from the black and white video period without a three-point line, to today's small ball style, the Celtics point guard has always been an important puzzle on its way to winning the championship, recently, NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation) has selected the 10 top point guards in the history of the Celtics, let's take a look at it.
10. Kemba Walker
Kemba Walker signed with the Celtics in July 2019 for four years and has played well in more than 50 games with the Greens this year, averaging 21.2 points per game and was named an All-Star for the 2019-20 season.
And Walker's role in the Celtics is not only on the court, but also in the locker room is the glue of the team, no one dislikes the new partner who just joined, he makes the team more united. At the age of 30, he will use his experience and skills to lead this promising young Celtic team to continue to move towards the championship.
9: Danny Ainge
If you want Angie to be more of a shooting guard when he's with Dennis Johnson, that's, and in the period from 1984 to before he was traded in 1989, Angie was more like a point guard, averaging 5.5 assists per game. In 1988, he was named an All-Star of the year, and in the playoffs, he played a game with 14 assists.
Angie is a very selfless organizer and very keen to pick up the pace. And his style of play connects well with the original Celtics Big Three of the '80s: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parrish, and helped the team win the 1988 championship.
8. Kyrie Irving
I think in recent seasons, you've seen a lot of voices about Irving on your browser, both positive and negative.
Honestly, Irving spent most of his two seasons in Boston as a playoff bystander. Then, a year before the end of his contract, he immediately decided to go on a rampage to Brooklyn. But he also performed well in these two seasons, and in 2019 he was selected for the NBA's best second team, and the statistics for that year were also very good. Although his reputation is indeed not very good in the eyes of Celtic fans, it is undeniable that his sense of the ball is really good, and he is like a wizard when the ball is in his hands.
7. Isaiah Thomas
Thomas experienced an unparalleled two and a half seasons at the Celtics, and the title of "Strongest 175 on the Surface" was born. In the 16-17 season, he also played the peak of his career.
Not only was Thomas named an All-Star for the second time in a row that year, but he also finished fifth in the MVP vote, averaging 28.9 points per game, bringing Boston to the Eastern Conference Finals. If he had been healthier, Thomas would have had a better ending and could even have been the cornerstone of this team.
6. K.C. Jones (K.C. Jones）
K.C. Jones did not leave a lot of video material in that era, but his achievements are undeniable. In 1956, he represented the U.S. national team at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and won the gold medal. He was drafted by the Boston Celtics in the 13th round of the 1956 NBA Draft, joined the NBA after two years of military service, played all his career for the Boston Celtics, and won eight consecutive NBA championships with the Celtics in 1959-66.
Jones is number nine on the team's all-time assists list and, more importantly, his defensive style is very tough. This style also led to coaching the Celtics from 1983 to 1988, scoring 410 wins and two championships.
5. Nate Archibald
Archibald arrived in Boston in 1978 after a ruptured Achilles tendon and was traded to the Celtics. He was 30 years old when he joined, and although his first season seemed to be slow to keep up with the pace of the team, he still won three All-Star titles in five seasons in Boston and helped the team win the 1981 championship.
Although he has only played 363 games in Boston, he ranks tenth in assists with the Green Army (2563).
4. Rajon Rondo
Sometimes I often think that if the Greens and Lakers had won seven in the 2009-10 finals, or if Rondo had been with the Celtics longer, we would have put him in the top three in history.
When Rondo was 22 years old in 2008, he was already a crucial piece of the puzzle for the Celtics to win the championship, and almost all the honors of his career were won by the Celtics. Rondo had 4,474 assists in the Green Army's 527 games, fourth in team history. After being injured in 2013, Rondo became upside down and moved to multiple teams, and is now in his second year with the Lakers.
3. Dennis Johnson
He doesn't seem as impressive as the others on this list, but Johnson is exactly the kind of tough defensive tough guy the Celtics needed in the early '80s. What's more, Johnson was an indelible contributor to the playoffs, averaging 16.5 points and 6.8 assists per game in seven years in Boston and helping the team win championships in 1984 and 1986.
2. Jo Jo White
If Boston's greatest player isn't named, he's definitely underrated. White competed in seven Star Games and won two titles with the Celtics.
White was the 1976 Finals MVP, averaging 42.9 minutes per game and 5.7 assists in the final six playoff games that year.
1. Bob Cousy
Cusi's nickname is Hardwood Houdini (hardwood refers to the floor of a basketball hall, Houdini was the Master of Escape Magic in the Early 20s) And Kusi's style of play is ahead of his time. His outstanding ball handling and passing skills complement ringer Bill Russell perfectly, with the Celtics winning six titles under Cousy.
Cousy was named an All-Star 13 times and was named league MVP in 1957. He is the leading player in Celtics' history of assists, a total of 6945, Bob Cousy played for the Celtics for 13 seasons, played in 917 regular season games, a total of 6945 assists, although he averaged only 7.5 assists per game in his career, but in the 1950s and 60s, this is already a terrible statistic, and it is the league assist king for 8 consecutive seasons.
What is the ranking in your mind?
