No. 5 All-Time – Paul Silas (1972-76)
Silas would win two of his three championships with the Celtics — one in 1974, the other in 1976 — after being traded to the team from the Phoenix Suns — a move he initially hated, but came around to after befriending legendary coach Red Auerbach.
He would also make an All-Star team while playing for Boston in 1975, the NBA’s All-Defensive team four times (1972, 1973, 1975 and 1976) before being traded to the Denver Nuggets in 1976.
Silas averaged 11.5 points, 12.3 boards and 2.7 assists with the Celtics.
