Yesterday, I opined that Paul Pierce deserved to be on the starting unit of the all-time great Boston Celtics' team, as the starting two-guard. Today I'm gonna back-peddle, and recall that Hondo played a lot of two-guard, and perhaps we need to make a place for him on the starting unit. The Celtics all-time leading scorer, Hondo won eight championships with two different generations of Celtics (three if you count the one he won with Cousy as being a different generation).
For now, I'm reversing the call, and going with Hondo at the two. The rest of the all-time Celtics starting line-up consists of Russell, Bird, Cousy, and McHale.

I'd actually start DJ over cousy, but sometimes you just have to go with the herd.

I go with Cousy and Hondo...
I love DJ but I think Cousy is a bit ahead of him as the greatest Celtics PG. And definitely Hondo over Pierce.
Based on primarily played positions I'd go with
G Cousy
G Jones
F Bird
F McHale
C Russell
Has pierce played more 2 or more 3 over the course of his career?
