26. Danny Ainge
Ainge actually played for the Toronto Blue Jays before he was drafted by the Boston Celtics, who chose him 31st Overall in 1981 and after a rocky start, he would find his role in professional basketball as a pesky agitator and occasional scorer. Ainge would help Boston win two titles (1984 & 1986) and was a bit of a surprise as an All-Star in 1988. The Guard would average 11.3 Points per Game over the seven and a half seasons he played for Boston.
While this list does not count what players do as an executive, we would be remised if we did not at least mention what Ainge has done for the Celtics in that capacity.
