7. Kevin McHale

An occasional visitor at Cheers, Kevin McHale, would play his entire NBA career with the Boston Celtics, where he was as selfless as he was popular.  McHale was drafted third overall in 1980, and he would become part of Boston's "Big 3" of the 1980s with Larry Bird and Robert Parish.  McHale was excellent in the paint on both offense and defense, showing strong shooting skills and blocking ability.  The quintessential Power Forward, McHale regularly abused his opponents, whether he was starting or coming off the bench —often the latter— and he rewarded the Celtics for that decision by winning the Sixth Man of the Year in both 1984 and 1985.
