13 Years, 11 Championships
Under coach Red Auerbach, the Celtics dominated the league during the 1960s, winning the NBA championship 11 times in 13 seasons. Bob Cousy, Ed Macauley and Bill Sharman were key players in what was dubbed "The Dynasty." -
Red Takes a Chance
After several years of trying to match their previous success, Coach Auerbach selected a young Larry Bird in the 1978 NBA draft. Bird joined the Celtics' roster in 1979, immediately making his mark in the league and earning Rookie of the Year honors. Bird led the team to three additional championships in 1981, 1984 and 1986 before retiring in 1992. -
Recent Years
From 1994 to 2007, the Celtics had only reached the post-season five times, falling in the first round on three of those occasions. They rebounded in the 2007-08 season by recruiting star players Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to join Celtics mainstay Paul Pierce. The result was the best record in the league and an NBA title.In 2008, they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in six games to win the NBA title. On October 28, 2008, The Celtics received their NBA championship rings during a ceremony before the start of the 2008 - 2009 NBA season opener.
