00:00Number three for me, it's Patrice Bergeron.
00:01Wow!
00:02I just think he defines an entire era of Boston, of the Boston Bruins.
00:07I mean, he was with the team from what, like 04 to 2022?
00:12I just, I think he defines an entire era.
00:15I think he is number three on the list.
00:17Wow.
00:18Courtney?
00:19I did Paul Pierce because I just think that if you look around a Celtics game right now,
00:24the effects that Paul Pierce had during his, what was it, 12, 16 years in Boston?
00:29Uh, something like that.
00:31I'll give it a check though.
00:32Yeah.
00:33To be on one team for that long of time, but to have the effects still felt today, I think
00:37that's the most important.
00:38Courtney and I agree.
00:39I, because of what he endured, both, you know, the, the stabbing, the, the brutal run of
00:46coaches and players and everything, and to sustain that, and he was so open about how
00:51nothing he did mattered until he won a championship.
00:55I think finals MVP, the wheelchair exit, notwithstanding, uh, the most definitely number
01:01three on my list.
01:0215 years.
01:03Right.
01:04Courtney.
01:05I, my number three, it's interesting.
01:07I kind of tag team them a little bit, but first off is Gronk, excuse me, Gronk.
01:16And because he was part of that changing the Brady, the dynasty would, and I kinda, I gave
01:23him an honorable mention with Gronk because I felt like Edelman should have been read.
01:28So I went Gronk Edelman at number three.
01:30All right.
01:31Uh, for number four, shy, uh, number four for me was Kevin Garnett.
01:34I don't have Paul Pierce on my list.
01:36I put Kevin Garnett on it instead.
01:37I felt like what he brought to this city when he came changed the complexion of the team
01:42entirely.
01:43Paul Pierce was a major piece in that, but I felt like Kevin Garnett was the defining
01:47piece of what made them a title team in, in Oh eight.
01:51So I went with Kevin Garnett.
01:52My fall was Paul Pierce.
01:53Okay.
01:54So kind of for some of the things that you said, Courtney, and you said, uh, uh, Curtis,
01:58my four was Patrice Bergeron.
02:00Ooh.
02:01All right.
02:02My four have hasn't been mentioned yet.
02:04Pedro Martinez, nobody did more to electrify Fenway park than he did.
02:08I know 99 was the year before 2000, but even removing the 99 season, you know what he did
02:15with this team, the Oh three game three ALCS.
