History Week roundtable: who would you bring back to join next season’s team?

What one player from Celtics history would you like to pluck from that era and put them in today’s game (assume he was able to grow up with modern conditioning, analytics, coaching, etc.)?

Jack Noonan: I’ll take the easy one to start here and choose the legend, Larry Bird. I would love to see how his style could fit in this era with other players running up and down the court. Unfortunately, I was not alive to watch his games live, but the endless hours of YouTube videos has taught me how ahead of the curve he was in terms of pace.
