As one of the eight original NBA teams, the Celtics have a storied history that spans decades, amassing an impressive 17 NBA championships, the most in the league.


The iconic green and white jersey symbolizes more than just the colors. It represents the legacy of legendary players such as Bill Russell, Larry Bird, and many others who bequeathed it with enthusiasm and dedication.


Based in Boston City, the team has a reputation for cultivating talent and rivalry with the Los Angeles Lakers. The roaring from the TD Garden serves the fans the testament and gives great support to the team. As a franchise that does, the Boston Celtics are not just a team but a symbol of tradition, unity, and basketball supremacy.


Boston Celtics Famous Players

Paul Pierce

Dubbed "The Truth" by Shaquille O'Neal, Paul Pierce is one of the most iconic figures in Celtics history. From 1998 to 2013, Pierce consistently showcased his scoring prowess, clutch gene, and leadership qualities. Pierce's unwavering commitment to the Celtics and the city of Boston, coupled with his 26,397 points scored for the franchise, solidified his status as an all-time great.


Larry Bird

Larry Bird is one of the best basketball players of all time. At 6 foot 9, he could score, rebound, and make plays for his teammates. He was also known for his legendary trash talks, and being clutch when it mattered the most. His battles with rivals like Magic Johnson are still remembered as some of the most iconic moments in NBA history. Bird's dedication, combined with his skills, made him a beacon of hope and excellence in Boston sports.


Kevin Garnett

Kevin Garnett's arrival in Boston signified a new era. His passion, both on and off the court, was infectious. Every game, "KG" would headbutt the basketball stanchion, setting the tone for the battle ahead. Beyond his impressive stats, Garnett was a defensive maestro, often directing teammates and calling out opponents' plays. His "Anything is possible!" scream after winning the 2008 NBA championship perfectly encapsulated his drive and the relief of a city hungry for basketball success.


Rajon Rondo

Rajon Rondo's journey with the Celtics was marked by his extraordinary court vision and unique playing style. Not just a passer, Rajon Rondo was a student of the game, known for watching endless hours of film to gain an advantage. His 44-point performance in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals remains a testament to his brilliance. Rondo's eccentricities, from his fashion sense to his candid interviews, made him one of the most memorable personalities to grace the TD Garden's parquet floor.


Boston Celtics History

The Boston Celtics are not just a team, but an emblem of basketball excellence. They were founded in 1946 and are one of the most decorated NBA franchises. The early days were challenging for the team, but things changed when Red Auerbach joined the team in 1950. Auerbach's ingenious coaching strategies, promoting team cohesion over solo stardom, paved the way for an era of dominance in the late '50s and '60s. A dynasty was born.


From the magical plays of Bob Cousy to Bill Russell's unparalleled defensive acumen; from John Havlicek's clutch performances to Larry Bird's sheer brilliance—each era saw legends rise, enthralling fans and etching their legacy. The Celtics, with their 17 championships, became more than just a sports team. They embodied the spirit of perseverance, excellence, and teamwork. The parquet floor of TD Garden is not just wood, it's hallowed ground, bearing witness to countless iconic moments that have forever shaped the landscape of professional basketball.

Boston Celtics Head Coach

Joe Mazzula is the new head coach of the Boston Celtics. Born in Johnston, Rhode Island, Mazzulla's roots are deeply embedded in basketball. The son of coach Dan Mazzulla, and brother to Justin, a collegiate player, Joe's journey is a testament to undying passion. As a 6'2'' guard, his dreams of playing professionally were curtailed after going undrafted in 2011. But where one door closed, another opened wide.


Mazzulla's transition from the court to the sidelines saw him absorb and evolve, learning the craft at Nova Southeastern, Glenville State, and Fairmont State. The collegiate courts bore witness to his budding strategic prowess. His tenure with the Maine Red Claws and later as an assistant for the Celtics provided a glimpse into his NBA potential. Today, as the head coach, Mazzulla is not just a man with a playbook, but the beacon of hope for a storied franchise.


Boston Celtics Owner

Wycliffe Grousbeck stands tall, not just as the owner of the Boston Celtics, but as a beacon of excellence both in the business and philanthropic worlds. Having acquired the Celtics' majority ownership in 2002, his journey from the ivy-clad halls of Princeton—where he championed the 1983 National Rowing Championship—to the boardroom of the TD Garden is remarkable. A scholar-athlete, Wyc's academic pursuits took him to Stanford Business School and then to Michigan State for his JD degree.


His foray into the professional world saw him make significant strides at Highland Capital Partners. Yet, his passion for basketball combined with astute business acumen led to the establishment of Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C. This endeavor culminated in the monumental acquisition of the Boston Celtics in 2002 for a staggering $360 million, marking a new chapter for the storied franchise.


However, Grousbeck's influence extends beyond basketball courts. His significant contributions to medicine, especially as the Chairman of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary since 2010, underline his commitment to societal betterment. Today, as the Board Chair of the Celtics, Wyc Grousbeck remains a testament to visionary leadership, dedicated service, and an undying love for the sport.


Net Worth

In 2023, the Boston Celtics stand tall not only for their historic on-court accomplishments but also for their financial stature, boasting an estimated net worth of $4 billion, as reported by Sports Brief. This impressive figure positions them as the 5th most valuable NBA team, trailing behind iconic franchises like the Warriors, Knicks, Lakers, and the Bulls. The Celtics' meteoric rise in valuation can be attributed to their commendable on-court achievements, immense local popularity, lucrative sponsorship engagements, and proprietorship of the famed TD Garden. Their rich legacy of 17 NBA titles and unwavering fan support further cements their status as one of the globe's premier sports franchises.


Championships

With 18 NBA championships, the Celtics journey through basketball history is filled with absolutely dominant moments, unparalleled teamwork, and an indomitable spirit.

In 2008, another trio of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen brought the 17th NBA championship to the Celtics. In 2024, the Celtics won their 18th NBA championship, breaking a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most titles in NBA history.
