Related Topics: Paul Pierce

The Celtics have had great players walk through the door, from legendary seasons to iconic moments and championship banners. But which ones stand above the rest? Here are the 5 best individual seasons from a Celtic since 2000.

Coming in at number 4 is Paul Pierce's 2001-2002 campaign. Pierce averaged 26 points per game, made the all-star team, all NBA third team, and led the team to an unexpected Eastern conference finals appearance. While he had quickly emerged as a star player by this point, this was the Celtics breakout year under him, winning 49 games, good for the 3rd seed in the east.
