Ranking the top five small forwards in Boston Celtics history

With a history full of luminaries on the wing, who are the best Boston Celtics small forwards of all time?

No. 1 All-Time – John Havlicek (1962-78)

Hondo is a Celtics legend for a reason. One of only four players in NBA history to win eight championships, he had a significant role in nearly all of them, and is widely regarded as among the best to ever play the game.

Like Maxwell and Pierce, he won a Finals MVP (1974), and was elected to 13 All-Star Games, 11 All-NBA teams, 8 All-Defensive teams, and many other honors.

The Ohio State product averaged 20.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists over his 16-season career, all of which was spent with Boston. While his peers on this list are all Celtic greats (or on their way to being so), Havlicek is without equal in the history of Boston’s small forwards.
