Is it fair to say he's the first Celtic to earn/deserve the award since Russell?

Hondo & Parish probably both deserved the award. As for Russell, come on, he never even won the Bill Russell DPOY award.

Well deserved KG! (they're still gonna rob him of the MVP which is a travesty)

Well deserved recognition.

Oh hell yeah.

Now let's add the 2007-2008 MVP trophy to his list of accolades. :nod:

Much deserved after the season he's had. Congrats to you guys for getting your first official DPOY in franchise history too (obviously Russell would have a bunch of them if they existed during his time).
