With all the recent talk of basketball history regarding the NBA’s 75th anniversary team, I thought it was a good time to compile a similar all-time team for the fabled Celtics franchise.
The Boston Celtics are one of eight teams who have existed since the Basketball Association of America was formed for its inaugural campaign in 1946-47. Only Boston and the New York Knicks have remained in their original city since the league’s inception.
The Celtics have gone on to win a league-best 17 championships, the rival Knicks two (none since 1973). The Lakers also have won 17 crowns, but the first five came when the franchise was located in Minneapolis.
