No. 1 All-Time – Larry Bird (1979-92)
Admittedly, much of the career of the Hick from French Lick was played at small forward. But for two of his three playoff runs that ended in hanging a banner, Bird played power forward, so we’ll claim him at the four.
In addition to those three banners (1981, 1984, 1986), the Indiana native was named league MVP three times in a row (1984-86), Finals MVP twice (1984, 1986), was elected to 12 All-Star Games (including All-Star MVP in 1982), and 10 All-NBA Teams among many other honors.
The Indiana State product would average 24.3 points, 10 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game over 13 seasons, all with Boston. One of the greatest to play the game at any position, it should not surprise to find the legendary forward atop the list of greatest Celtic power forwards.
