The 2009–10 Boston Celtics were led by Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, with Rondo emerging as the team’s primary playmaker and a major all-around contributor. Pierce and Allen supplied consistent perimeter scoring, while Garnett anchored the frontcourt with rebounding and defense. Boston combined efficient ball movement, strong defensive play and balanced scoring, though its offense relied more on execution and depth than overwhelming individual production.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rajon Rondo | Starter/Star | 36.6 | High | 13.7 | 4.4 | 9.8 | 2.4 | 80.26 | Tempo-setting point guard who controlled almost every important possession, Rondo blended elite playmaking with disruptive perimeter defense. His league-leading assist numbers and 2.3 steals per game made him the engine behind Boston’s offense and one of its most impactful defenders. | All-Star 2010, All-Defensive First Team 2010, DPOY 5th |
| Paul Pierce | Starter/Star | 34.0 | High | 18.3 | 4.4 | 3.1 | 1.6 | 72.07 | Go-to scorer in the half court, Pierce balanced perimeter shot-making with physical drives and frequent trips to the foul line. Even on a veteran roster, he remained the player Boston trusted most to create offense late in games. | All-Star 2010 |
| Kevin Garnett | Starter/Star | 29.9 | High | 14.3 | 7.3 | 2.7 | 1.8 | 68.38 | Defensive anchor first and scorer second, Garnett’s communication and positioning still shaped Boston’s identity.
