What is the Celtics' ultimate roster? SI.com's David DuPree picks his 12-man all-time team, with an emphasis on a player's performance in a Celtics uniform (sorry, Bill Walton). Although a Celtics newcomer, Kevin Garnett earned a spot for his instant impact. With apologies to Tom Heinsohn, Don Nelson, K.C. Jones and Satch Sanders, among others, here is DuPree's team.

He was small and he had absolutely no left hand, but back in the day he was the quintessential point guard, a clever ball handler, passer and game manager who was ahead of his time as a showman. Cousy was All-NBA first team 10 times and played on six Celtics championship teams.
