The top 2 Celtics players ever were kind of obvious.  There might have been some minor debate over the order of the first two, but Bill Russell and Larry Bird are two of the top players in the league, never mind the Celtics.

Now things get more interesting.  The catalog of names is truly staggering.  Havlicek, Cousy, Heinsohn, Cowens, McHale, Parish, Pierce, ...the list just goes on and on.  But there can be only one... 3rd best player.  Who is it?
