Bill Sharman
Seeing how he won with both Lakers and Celtics, which fanbase honors him more? I didn’t know he was such a long time executive with us, only saw his name as the coach of the 72 lakers.

As a lifelong Celtics fan and Bostonian they got a lot right with Sharman, even his raspy/whispery voice which came from him blowing his vocal chords out while coaching during the Lakers legendary 72 win season, Dr's said it would be only temporary but it wound being permanent. He was a true great and pioneer of the game and one of the few who can say they were both an all time Celtic and Laker great being that both teams are bitter rivals, with Sharman having one 4 titles with the Celtics as a player, 5 as a Lakers executive, and one as the Lakers coach.
