The Boston Celtics of the 1980s were defined by the two men seen in the photo, Larry Bird and the man who ranks seventh on this list, Kevin McHale. He played his entire 13-year career with the Celtics earning three NBA Championships during his playing days in 1981, 1984 and 1986.

McHale was an NBA All-Star for over half of his playing career as he earned that honor a total of seven times. His number 32 is retired by the Boston Celtics, along with his number 44 by the University of Minnesota.

McHale ranks 5th all-time with the Celtics in points with 17,335. He also ranks 6th in rebounds with 7122 and 2nd all-time in blocked shots with 1690, only trailing Robert Parish. The 1690 blocks rank 30th all-time in all of the NBA as well.

McHale is still seen regularly in the basketball world as he is a color commentator for NBA games on TNT. Before coming to TNT, he was the head coach of the Houston Rockets from 2011 to 2015.
