#TBT – Boston Celtics 1957 Championship

This post is going all the way back to the very beginning when the Boston Celtics won their first championship in the 1956-1957 season.

Not only was this the beginning of the most championship wins by a franchise in NBA history, but it was also the beginning of arguably the greatest career in the history of the NBA: Bill Russell.
