Biggest icon and popularity are different things.
Russell is far and away the greater icon.

Hondo was a great Celtic but no way he is a greater icon then Bill.

I think Russell is the bigger icon. He's still seen in the Boston area quite a bit at the games, etc.

Celtic fans answer Bird who? Russell who?
Paul Pierce is the GOAT and Rondo is the GOAT
If you read the Celtic board you will find that Pierce is considered the better player than either Russell or Bird and that Rondo will be greater than all 3 when his career is over.

Re: Bigger Icon in Boston - Larry Bird or Bill Russell
From the outside looking in, I see Russell as a bigger icon and Bird as more popular.
But what do I know, I am not from Boston and have no plans of ever stepping foot in that city. This is a question that should be on the Celtics board.

That's probably because there are nothing but new people on the board.
