Who’s your favorite Celtics starter and role player of all time?
October 10, 2025
KG and Eddie House for me. Loved their attitude, passion, and energy

I’m going to cheat and put two for each:
KG and Tatum.
James Posey and Gerald Green
I. LOVE. WALTER!!!!
Derrick white and Derrick fucking white!!!
Larry Bird. Kevin McHale
My favorite starter is probably Jiri Welsch. My favorite role player is probably Jiri Welsch when he came off the bench.
Starter: Rajon Rondo
Role: Leon Powe
I could swap Bird or Russell…
Paul Pierce, he was my Larry Bird growing up. Just wish he acted more worth respecting post career. I feel due to this he won’t ever get the respect he deserves.
Role player, that’s hard but it’s gotta be Eddie House or Tony Allen. Eddie’s 3s at any moment got me hyped and loved his jumper. After this era finishes though it’s Derek white by a mile.
This is my same exact answer…. I’m assuming you’re around 35 like me?
Pal Pierce and James Posey
Big Baby Davis!
Kevin Garnett and Avery Bradley
Starter: 2022 Robert Williams
Bench: 2023 Robert Williams
Larry Bird, Bill Walton
Brandon Bass. Greg Stiemsma
KG
Ray Allen and Leon Powe(or Luke Kornet) for me. Having a tough time deciding between Powe and Kornet though.
Larry Bird and PP
I promise I’m not racist.
Still Hondo
Rob fucking Williams
Starter: Paul Pierce
Role player (assuming they’re on the bench): Bill Walton (not necessarily, for his playing career, but it was awesome) (honorable mention Marcus Smart)
IT4 is up there
KG as the starter.
Role player would be Marcus Smart. Kind of cheating, but he wasn’t exactly a starter.
Starter: Larry.
Honorable mention to Kevin McHale, more fun than LB.
Bench: 1986 Bill Walton.
He was healthy & happy and the team was GOAT.
KG and Dee Brown
Larry Bird 💪
D white, Leon Powe, James Posey, Big baby (sucks he’s in jail now)
KG and Posey. Long live 2008
No love for Celtic great Dan Dickau?
Larry Bird and Jrue
Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish,Danny Ainge, Dennis Johnson. And my all time fave. Greg Kite aka the human foul! ,
Larry Bird and Dennis Johnson
LEON POWE
Starter rondo
Role player Marcus banks
Larry Bird and Scott Wedman.
The guy who just got a DUI and maybe Big Baby or Milt Palacio
