No. 4 All-Time: Don Chaney

Chaney played for the Celtics in two separate stints, and literally bridged the eras between Bill Russell and Larry Bird. In his time with the franchise, he won two NBA championships in 1969 and 1974.

The Houston product averaged 8.7 points, 3.9 boards and 1.9 assists per game over 10 seasons with the Celtics.
