      Unlike Paul Pierce, DJ played defense. One of the best defensive guards of all time. Watch the 85 series against Lakers.. he flat out shut down Magic after game three switch. Plus he made everyone better around him. Truth is good, but didn't win anything until they got Ray and KG. DJ took a Seattle team to a title.

      Shaq has gone from worse of all time to merely bad. Webber is a much better analyst, but he's always butthurt by jokes like Shaq so he wouldnt improve anything. If they ever had the balls to replace Shaq, they should add a self-depracating non-player who knows bball well (ie: Zach Lowe) -- he is getting better every single episode of The Jump. Or Chauncey Billups if theyre gonna go another ex-player.

    I'm a big fan of Barkley, but NO ONE messed with Dave Cowens. That dude was as tough as anyone who ever played in the NBA. Think of all the great centers Cowens, at 6'8, had to routinely face: Abdul Jabbar, Bob Lanier, Nate Thurmond, Willis Reed, Wes Unseld, Artis Gilmore, etc. Aside from Jabbar, who was a force of his own, Cowens routinely faced off against some of THE most brutish of centers, in any era, and nobody messed with him still.

  • @stanhawkins1023
    @stanhawkins1023 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Totally agree with Charles’s list. I scrimmaged with Dave Cowens in college as a freshman when he was a sophomore. I am alive today only because Dave liked me. Dave was quick, fast, strong and mean. And he was a quick jumper-only players can know what that means. Auerbach drafted him number 4 and when his choice of an under sized center was questioned, responded that he would have taken him had he had the number 1 pick (ahead of Lanier, Tomjanovich and Maravich). As usual Red was proved right.

  • @mishagelenava2962

    • @jjs777fzr
      @jjs777fzr 8 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      +Misha Gelenava Huge Bird fan and think he is on a very short list of GOAT's. But when you think about Russel's rings - its unfathomable. And as McHale said - Wilt was someone he had to face. So I'd have to give the edge to Russel. I love Magic (all these years later we Boston fans have put down the weapons) but I think the top 3 GOATs are Russel, Bird and MJ and if you want to put Magic in as 4th ok. But Bird had the best fundamentals of any player then, now or probably well into the future. MJ was the most exciting and athletic player we've ever seen. The only reason I give Russel his due because of rings vs MJ's 6 rings, is because MJ just didn't do it against tough 80's teams. He didn't do it till the league saw the expansion teams and Magic and Bird were out or on the way out.

      Not unfathomable when you consider no one has had so much talent on one team, and at the same time never faced anything in terms of competition...
      Russell led his team in blocks, steals, and rebounds.
      Bird led his team in points, assists, rebounds, steals, and was 3rd in blocks overall.

    • @usnate1
      @usnate1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Exactly. I think Jordan edges Bird, but it isn't as big of a gap as the media would push. If you gave Bird Jordan's legs, and it wouldn't be close..skill wise Bird and Hakeem are arguably the two most complete players of all time. MJ although ONE of the most skilled of all time, had the luxury of freak of nature genetics combined with an awesome work ethic like Bird had..
      The only thing Jordan beats Bird in are steals and points. MJ led his team in steals and points. Bird led his team in points,rebounds,steals,assists, FT% for starters, 3p%, and was 3rd in blocks. Clutch? I think they are equal.

    I think that Charles made an extremely valid point in the names that he listed. Granted, I'm not old enough to appreciate the greatness of the Cousy, Russell, Jones era as I was born in '78. However, I'll take both Charles and McHale at their word for they are old enough and both have a broader scope of basketball and the Celtics than I. One thing I do find interesting is the amount of fans downplaying the value of both Dennis Johnson and McHale. I find that interesting especially when you consider that in his book, "Drive: The Story of my Life", Larry claims that Johnson was the best pointguard and McHale the best power forward he ever played with. That's pretty high praise from a bona fide Celtic legend.

They completely dominated their respective conferences until the Bad Boys had their run and MJ came into the picture. That was during the golden age of basketball. That was the Old Testament.

    I know--it's partly a generational thing, it's partly because people have slowly come to devalue the greatness of one team thoroughly dominating the 8-team league in the 1960's, but I think that any reasonable fan should have Bird over Russell as #1. In about 1986, it would be hard to find any contemporaneous player (other than maybe Isiah and Rodman) that didn't regard Bird as the greatest ever up to that point in league history. The peak of Bird's career (1983-1988) is still more transcendent than the peak of ANYONE else's career that has ever played.

How many great teams were in the league during Jordan's peak? And he BTW also had 2 other hall of famers and a hall of fame coach.

      @SteveGellerMusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@legoatjames8540 So...no. It was a pretty widespread belief in 1985-87 that Bird was the greatest ever. Look back at national media from that era. Red Auerbach in 1986 had already said he'd rather build a team around Bird than around Russell. And I'm not denying the greatness of any of the players you have mentioned, but I cannot agree. Bird won 3 straight MVP's and finished 2nd in the three previous seasons, in arguably the most stacked period in league history. Duncan didn't win 3 MVP's in his career. Shaq didn't. Bird had nearly as many rebounds in his career average as Duncan and Shaq did (10 to 10.8 and 10.9), despite it being Bird's 3rd most impressive skill and barely talked about at all today. Wilt was a more dominant player--he was a head taller than almost everyone else and had been a high-jumper, so he'd regularly have 50 point games or 30 rebound games, but it was predominantly dunks and layups against size-overmatched defenders. The amount of ways that Bird could score and could dominate a game without the ball are unsurpassed.

    when will analysts realise that players in the 60s-80s had higher rebounding stats because the shooters were way worse

    • @razkable
      @razkable 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      the game changes every 10 years or so....so all stats are incomparable and to me you cant compare the 50-80's to todays games cause you only had 10-20 max teams and no aba stars no merger... no 3 point shot....the pace was different no shot clock...no 3 in the key rule no 5 second back to the basket back down rule... and everyone was 6'6 at most except for russel and wilt...and point guards were all under 6'0 ...and the league was mostly white until the 80's...and until the 90's was half white...

    • @SeanDaNerd
      @SeanDaNerd 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The team fg% of the 80s was higher than today. The team total rpg (both offensive and defensive boards) was only 2-3 higher because they took 5-8 more fga per game. So as far as the 80s go, that is not necessarily the case because their play style led them to take the ball inside more often.

    • @seanjones2090
      @seanjones2090 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +SeanDaNerd The dude was talking about the 50s-70s where 45% was great. The pace of the game was much faster then too.

    • @SeanDaNerd
      @SeanDaNerd 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sean Jones The OP and Razkable were talking both about multiple decades (both talked about the 80's btw). I was addressing only the 80's not the other decades because I am aware that there was a significantly higher amount of FGA per game (20 or so more from what i remember) and I agree that it's stupid to compare rebounding stats from those decades. However, the 80's weren't that different statistically. My point being that statistical (quantifiable/discrete) comparisons to the 80's are fair.

      My top 10 would be 1. Bill Russell 2. Larry Bird 3. John Havlicek 4. Bob Cousy 5. Kevin McHale 6. Dave Cowens 7. Robert Parrish 8. Sam Jones 9. KC Jones 10. Paul Pierce. We know the two best Celtics of all-time were Russell and Bird. I am not going to say that one was better than the other because they played two different positions.

    this is pretty simple... paul def better than kc... and id take him over dj and parrish..who really only seemed great because of who they played with,,,, but mostly its just impossible to make a top ten list from team who has had such long history of great players... like trying list top ten yankees... or montreal canadiens...or lakers even...

      nate rand Larry Bird, John Havlicek, Bill Russell, Kevin McHale, Cousy, Cowens, Sam Jones are the only one's I'd take over Pierce. Parish, DJ, Jo Jo and KC Jones .. especially those last 2, no way. KC Jones doesn't touch DJ either. Charles pays way too much respect to older players and is so stupid.

    • @bigdaddywbl
      @bigdaddywbl 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ***** Bird, Russell, McHale, Cousy and Hondo are in a class above the rest, imho. Parish comes next; he was a great center who was productive for a long time in an era of great centers; his numbers, while good, suffered only because he had to share the frontcourt with Bird and McHale. I put Cowens next; an elite frontcourt talent with that something special that makes a champion. After that, I put Pierce and Dennis Johnson. DJ would get a higher rank than Pierce, except some of his best years were with Seattle, and I'm only counting what they did with the Celtics. Remember, DJ was an absolute shut-down defensive PG, especially against bigger guards. He was one of very few PGs who could guard Magic straight up, and his D vs. the Rockets big backcourt in '86 was crucial to the Celtics winning the Championship that year.

  • @tyronejames4187
    @tyronejames4187 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    1. Russell

    5. Jones
    6. Pierce
    7. Cousy
    8. Parish
    9. And 10. Prolly Cowens, JoJo White, or Dennis Johnson could fit in there. Maybe even Rondo.

  • @JustFrame21
    @JustFrame21 9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I would EASILY put Paul Pierce ahead of KC Jones, Dennis Johnson, and Sam Jones. EASILY.
    That's because Paul Pierce has had to Carry His Team In contrast to those 3 players whom were Elite Role Players that were not the Central Focus. I would even argue that Paul Pierce should also be ahead of Kevin McHale, and Parish as well because both those players got to play with Larry Legend. Remove Larry from the equation and would still be amazing?
    Pierce was thrust to be the Guy to lead Boston back to the Promise Land, and unlike those names I've mentioned, he has had to endure being the #1 guy to not only produce but to be the leader as well.
    I just don't get it here.
    Imo, the only ones who SHOULD be ahead of Pierce is Russell, Bird, Cousy, and Havlicek. Take into consideration that I'm running off the top of my head so I may be missing some, but those 4, if you put ahead of Pierce, I'll nod and say, Okay.
    However the rest of them? Come on man. Notice how the Top-4 who were ahead of Pierce were Also Leaders of their Teams at one point and time and brought championships as well.
