Question
who is the Boston celtics all time leading scorer?

Answer
John,

the all time scoring leader of the Boston Celtics is John Havlicek who scored 26,395 points in 1,270 games from 1962 to 1978. Larry Bird, although sporting a higher points per game average (24.3 ppg vs. Havlicek's 20.8) played less games (897) than "Hondo" and is in second place with a grand total of 21,791 points. Paul Pierce is closing in fast (19,441 points in 859 games) but it is highly unlikely he will manage to reach Havlicek's numbers.
I hope this helps...
