The Boston Celtics have had some pretty important power forwards in their storied franchise’s history, including Paul Silas, Bailey Howell, Antoine Walker and Tommy Heinsohn.
So seeing none of those names in the new HoopsHype list of the 20 greatest power forwards in the history of the NBA is a bit of a surprise, particularly the omission of Heinsohn, a major figure in the history of the Celtics’ era of dominance in the 1960s. But a pair of former Celtics did make the H/H cut for the top-20 all-time power forwards.
Let’s take a look at the Celtics who did land on HoopsHype’s list.
