The votes were close early on in yesterday’s old-time showdown between Bill Sharman and Tom Sanders. Despite both having their Celtics number retired and hanging in the rafters, Sanders was able to gain the edge, beating out Sharman. Sanders will now take on Larry Bird in the second round of the tournament.
Don’t forget that this is based solely off their playing careers with the Boston Celtics. Any coaching or front office experience shouldn’t be taken into account, neither should their collegiate careers or their tenure with other NBA teams they may have played for.
