The complete story
Founded in 1946 as one of the NBA's original BAA franchises, the Boston Celtics have won 18 NBA championships, the most in league history, anchored by the Bill Russell dynasty that captured 11 titles in 13 seasons from 1957 to 1969 under legendary coach Red Auerbach. Larry Bird led a second golden era in the 1980s, winning three more titles (1981, 1984, 1986) amid a fierce rivalry with the Los Angeles Lakers that defined the decade. A 'Big Three' of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen brought banner No. 17 home in 2008, and the Tatum-Brown core delivered banner No. 18 in 2024. The franchise plays at TD Garden in downtown Boston and was sold in 2025 to a Bill Chisholm-led ownership group in one of the largest sports-franchise sales in history. After Jayson Tatum's 2025 Achilles tear sidelined him for most of 2025-26, Boston was upset by Philadelphia in the first round, prompting a July 2026 blockbuster that sent Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George.
