Popular players that eventually wore Celtic green

There is a long list of popular players that started somewhere in the league, eventually joined the Celtics in most or all of the remaining playing days. KEVIN GARNETT, PETE MARAVICH, BILL WALTON, RAY ALLEN, DOMINIQUE WILKINS, GARY PAYTON, SCOTT WEDMAN, XAVIER McDANIEL, NATE ARCHIBALD, DENNIS JOHNSON, SAM CASSELL, RASHEED WALLACE, PJ BROWN, ARTIS GILMORE. OTIS BIRDSONG I can't think of the other ones although I know that there are many more. Can you add to the list?

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

fresh food

Celtics don’t eat microwave food, they order fresh food, fresh bread, salad, appetizers, mozzarella, peppers, eggplant, pizza rolls, stuffed mushrooms, main course, dessert(Lakers).

Not so successful with big guys

Where do we put this group of bigs that were popular but not really successful? Vin Baker, Greg Kite, Michael Olowakandi, Raef LaFrentz, Joe Kline, Brad Lohaus, Mark Blount, Tony Battie & Vitaly Potapenko. Rodney Rogers, Eric Williams, Walter McCarthy, to me are good role players.
