Boston Celtics
About
The Boston Celtics are the city’s National Basketball Association team and one of the most successful franchises in league history. Founded in 1946 as one of the original teams of the league that became the NBA, they play home games at TD Garden, built above North Station. Green and white are the team’s colors, and the championship banners hanging in the Garden rafters are a familiar sight in Boston sports.
The franchise won eight straight titles from 1959 to 1966 during the Bill Russell era, and its legends include Russell, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, Larry Bird and Paul Pierce. Bird led the team to three championships in the 1980s, Pierce and Kevin Garnett helped bring home a title in 2008, and the Celtics added another championship in 2024, keeping the franchise among the league’s elite.
