23. K.C. Jones

K.C. Jones played with the great Bill Russell at the University of San Francisco, where he would win two NCAA Championships.  The duo would later join the Celtics, where Jones was not the same contributor that he was in college, but his role was to be a role player and distributor, which he did perfectly.  Jones played all nine seasons in the NBA with Boston, wherein eight of them he would be an NBA Champion, and three would see him finish in the top five in Assists.  While Jones was never an All-Star, he knew he didn't have to be, and his selflessness was one of the main reasons that made Boston so good for so long.

22. Ray Allen

Ray Allen had already proven himself as a star with the Milwaukee Bucks and Seattle SuperSonics, but it was with the Boston Celtics where he would win his first NBA Championship.  The superstar shooter was traded from the Sonics before the 2007-08 season where he joined Paul Pierce and an incoming Kevin Garnett to form a "Big Three" and Allen, who no longer had to carry the workload (and also was getting a little older) may have scored less but was still very efficient and in his first year with the Celtics he was an NBA Champion.

20. Jo Jo White

Initially, it seemed that Jo Jo White arrived a year too late, as after he was drafted, both Bill Russell and Sam Jones retired.   That was not the case as they would rebuild with White running the Point.  He wasn't alone as he had other stars with him, such as Dave Cowens, John Havlicek, and Paul Silas.  White was an incredible ball-handler who would become the team's ironman, competing in 488 straight games.  In his third season, he began another significant streak, being named to seven consecutive All-Star Games, including a pair of Second Team All-NBA Selections.  Leading Boston to the NBA Championship in 1974, his best moment was two seasons later, when he was the Finals MVP, capturing his second Championship Ring, punctuated by a 33 Point performance in a triple-overtime Game 5 win.

17. Frank Ramsey

From Kentucky, and a former star at the University of Kentucky, the appropriately nicknamed "Kentucky Colonel," Frank Ramsey, was a champion in the NCAA and helped lay the groundwork for the Celtics dynasty that would begin in the second half of the 1950s.   Ramsey was not the star of the team for Boston like he was as a Wildcat, but he was an efficient player with excellent court vision who was selfless, an essential attribute for those early Boston powerhouse teams.  As such, he was an important piece to helping the Celtics win their first seven titles, and over his nine-year career (all with Boston), he would average 13.4 Points per Game.
