With an NBA-record 17 titles to the storied franchise’s name and more Hall of Famers than you can shake a stick at from the over 75 years of history of the ball club, a number of former Boston Celtics regularly make the greatest of all time lists.
More often than not, however, a trio of Boston icons make the list more than others: Celtics short-timer Shaquille O’Neal, the Hick From French Lick (as he was lovingly called) Larry Bird, and the ultimate winner of any sport, Hall of Fame Boston big man Bill Russell.
Such was the case for the folks behind the Maxi NBA YouTube channel. All three perennial Boston stars made an appearance on their most recent “Top 10 NBA players of all time” video.
To see for yourself where the trio of Bird, Shaq and Russell ended up relative to one another and their peers among the league’s luminaries, take a look at the clip embedded above.
