Ranking the top five centers in Boston Celtics history

Who are the five greatest centers in Boston Celtics history? Join the Celtics Wire as we dive in and make our case.

No. 2 All-Time

Dave Cowens (1970-80): While undersized by most measuring sticks to play center at 6-foot-9, the Kentuckian would dominate the position for a decade for the Celtics.

He was selected for the All-Rookie team his first season in the NBA, winning Rookie of the Year, and nominated to the All-Star Game eight of his ten seasons in the league, all with Boston save one.

He’d win the league MVP, three All-NBA teams, as many All-Defensive teams and of course two banners with the Celtics in that stretch.
