Boston Celtics chart three former players on HoopsHype’s greatest international players of all time

Boston has 3 of the 40 among its alumni — and one of them is on the roster now.

The Boston Celtics have long been among the leaders in the NBA in terms of signing players from overseas, so it makes a lot of sense for them to have a heavy alumni presence on any list of the greatest players in league history who were not born in the United States of America.

And when our sister site HoopsHype put together just such a list, sure enough, there were indeed several Celtics alumni on it, and it even has a current player from Boston’s roster. Three players, in fact, from HoopsHype’s list were or are a Celtic at some point in their career.

Let’s take a look at the trio of overseas players, and where they rank on the list among their overseas NBA brethren.
