After last night Svi’s missed dunk comments you guys got me thinking, whose the best Celtics in game dunker ever??
Honorable mentions: KG got some posters but not really a flashy dunker or anything. Rondo got some sneaky dunks too.
– Ricky Davis: Got some nice flashy dunks and was in the dunk contest as well.
– Paul Pierce: Had sneaky hops and we know he has put a lot of guys on a poster.
– Tony Allen: TA had some nice dunks especially when he got PT before the championship run. Even after he had some alley oops and posters.
– Gerald Green: Was here for a few season in his prime but was a high flyer.
– Jeff Green: Uncle Jeff! He has a lot of posters during his time in Boston.
– Jaylen Brown: This dude has had some of the nastiest dunks throughout the league. He has a list of body bags.

Ricky Davis. Swear he did a few 360s while on the Celtics.
I would say Jeff Green…he was ferocious before his health complications. Jeff would dunk on the best of them. Gerald a close runner up, but he was more stylish.
Quinn Buckner
Javonte Green deserves to be on this list
Gerald
Brown has the most agressive and vicious dunks
Gerald would get up, but Jeff would throw down. If that makes sense.
Dee Brown, most people forget about him.
I feel like PP could barely get up there lol
Larry Bird
Timelord deserves a mention at least. His dunks were lethal
JB has some bodies….the dunk on Maxi Klieber with the KG dap is *chefs kiss
Excited to see this guy make his attempt: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxcARJrTUjLoh2QeX0KAncOjLxcalvf-3i?si=-A4q3-lKLdiN54ID
Ricky Davis was that dude. 😎
Javonte
I mean Nique also had a spell on the Celtics in the 90s
Idk how much dunking he was doing by then tho
Gerald green was in the dunk contest and won, not Ricky Davis
Jaylen Brown has an impressive resume of people he’s dunked on. Gerald Green out of everyone was probably the most athletic, vertical hops dunker of the bunch. Although Dee Brown had a real nice vertical too. I guess it depends on what you are looking for.
Dee brown.. and didn’t we have dominque Wilkins for a minute?
Robert Parrish always chose violence whenever he threw one down.
Nate Robinson
Gerald Green and it ain’t close
Jeff Green’s posters hit different
Apart from Vince’s Olympic dunk, Gerald’s got the greatest in-game dunk of all-time, so it has to be him
It’s amazing how many people named Green or Brown have been great athletic doinkers, on the Celtics
Ricky was electric ⚡️
It’s either Gerald Green or Jaylen. Ricky Davis would pull some stuff out but he really wasn’t a good player so the big ones just ended up on wide open breaks. Gerald Green had a fucking jetpack and would regularly bust out insane dunks when he was in, but he could never land significant minutes. Jaylen absolutely posterizes people and we get to see it pretty often because he’s always on the court.
Dee Brown
Gerald green was the best dunker JB’s had the best dunks
Man Ricky Davis was one of my favorite players while he was here. Obviously PP34 was and is my all time favorite but Ricky was fun to watch during the early 2000s. It was weird how he was here and then gone and then back again over the course of 3 seasons though. Shout out to Gerald Green as well!
I feel like Jeff Green has sneakily put together the best resume of posters in the NBA both before and after his Celtics tenure
Dee Brown stands out to me. And Gerald before we traded him for Garnett
Tatum also deserves an honorable mention after postering lebron while he was still a rookie
Gerald Greens run out dunks were crazy. Ppl don’t remember
My favorite Celtic of all time … JEFF GREEN!!!!!
Green is one of the* best dunkers ever
