When you think of Dee Brown's career, most people point to his electrifying no-look slam dunk that won the competition in 1991. That is not a bad way to be remembered, but beyond that, you had a good player who split his time between Point and Shooting Guard who would have two straight years averaging over 15 Points per Game (1993-94 & 1994-95), the first of which would see him also finish 10th in the NBA in Steals per Game with 2.0.
Chaney was the 12th overall pick from the University of Houston, where, as a rookie, he was part of the Celtics’ 1969 Championship win, the last of the ’60s dynasty. The Guard would star on the defensive side of the ball, earning Second Team All-Defensive Selection honors four times as a Celtic, and would have four seasons of 10-plus Points per Game. Chaney was with Boston for most of his career, save for a one-year stint in the ABA with St. Louis and a year and a half later with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he holds the distinction of being the only Celtic who at one time played with Bill Russell and Larry Bird.
This one can be considered a little tricky.
When Kyrie Irving surprisingly requested a trade from Cleveland (to get away from LeBron, let's be honest!), Boston arguably stole him in the deal, considering that the best player that they gave up, Isaiah Thomas, was never the same after that hip injury that took him out during the previous playoffs. Irving wanted to prove he could lead a powerhouse team, and he did…sort of.
Dennis Johnson played the last half of his career (seven years) with the Boston Celtics after already playing in four All-Star Games and winning the NBA Championship in 1979 with the Seattle SuperSonics. "D.J." was already one of the best defensive guards, and as a Celtic, he would continue to provide that with four All-Defensive Selections (one First Team and three Second Teams). Johnson was scoring as much as he had before, but with Boston, he had switched to Point Guard, and it showed in higher assist numbers than the Shooting Guard ever had before.
