The
Boston Celtics are one of the most successful franchises in sports
history. Since 1946, the year the team
was founded, the Celtics have accomplished more than any other team. The team has had forty-nine .500 or better
seasons in its 68 years in the league, 21 division titles, 21 conference titles, and 17 championships (the most of any team). The team has seen legendary players (Bill
Russell, Robert Parrish, Larry Bird, Bob Cousy, Kevin McHale, John Havlicek,
and Bill Sharman), had legendary coaches (Red Auerbach, K.C. Jones, and Doc
Rivers), and had All-Star players Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen together
just two years ago. The current star of
the team is starting point guard Rajon Rondo, which anybody who watches or
follows basketball knows that. He is a
defensive force and efficient passer, but enough of what you probably already
know. Let’s get to the good stuff.
