Who are the best dunkers in the history of the Boston Celtics? It’s hard to say for sure. Dunking a basketball requires a bit of artistry, and beauty is, after all, in the eye of the beholder. (It also doesn’t help that the NBA didn’t list dunks as an official stat until the mid-1990s.)
Still, some of Boston’s best players certainly knew how to take it to the house, including members of the current squad. From the menacing strength of players like Bill Russell and Robert Parish to the graceful athleticism of Dee Brown or Jaylen Brown (no relation), there’s been plenty of rim rockers to wear Celtics green.
The question remains — who are the all-time best dunkers to ever suit up for the Boston Celtics? Let’s lace ’em up and discuss.
The Hick From French Lick was not always a lock to become a Celtic — even after he had been drafted by the team. https://t.co/UYoBWchD13
