Big Surprise! Our responders voted Bill Russell best Celtics board man all-time. Dave Cowens and Paul Silas were mentioned also - and should have been. Now we are on to the toughest Celtic of all-time. This is not just about physical size and strength. It starts with the mental fortitude to play the game the right way through physical and emotional pain and distress.
Paul Pierce needs to be in the discussion. Surviving after being stabbed 11 times in the off-season and never missing a game when the season got underway gets him there.
