History is a history of stars. The 17 championships rank first among all NBA teams. The eight consecutive championships are unprecedented and hard to come by. The more than 20 retired numbers almost make the Celtics have no usable numbers.

In 1946, 11 major ice hockey owners discussed the establishment of a new basketball league, so the BAA came into being. The Celtics were one of the original 11 teams. Since there were many Irish immigrants in Boston, many of whom were Celtics, the team's name was called "Original Celtics" when it was first established, and was later simplified to "Celtics." The Celtics had a poor record in the first few years. From 1946 to 1950, they failed to enter the playoffs. It was not until the end of the 1949-1950 season that the Celtics made a series of changes that gave the team new life. .

The biggest turnaround for the Celtics was the hiring of the world-famous "Cardinal" Auerbach as their head coach. The team made adjustments to the lineup here, including the unexpected addition of Bob Cousy. Cousy was a rookie in 1950. At that time, there were three players for the Knicks, Warriors and Celtics to choose from. No one wanted the rookie Cousy, so they had to draw lots. The Celtics were "unfortunately" chosen. Got Khushi. But Cousy brought behind-the-back passes and no-look passes into the NBA, which was refreshing. That season, Cousy scored 15.6 points and led the league in assists with 4.9 assists per game. The Celtics finished the season with a 39-30 record and made the playoffs.

After 10 years of dormancy, the Celtics finally broke out in 1956-1957. In the 13 years from 1957 to 1969, the Celtics won a staggering 11 championships.

In the 1956-1957 season, the Celtics acquired Bill Russell and Tom Heinsohn. The Celtics had a neat facelift, entered the playoffs with the league's best record of 47 wins and 28 losses, and smoothly reached the Finals. The Celtics and St. Louis Hawks were tied in the first six games, and Game 7 became one of the most classic battles in the NBA. Before the end of the second overtime, the Hawks' Bob Pettit's last-minute shot bounced a few times on the rim and failed to score. The Celtics narrowly won 125-123 and won the ball. The team's first championship. Supplement from the answerer 2009-05-09 00:53 After winning the first championship, the Celtics were unstoppable. From 1959 to 1966, the Boston Celtics won eight consecutive championships.

In the 1966-1967 season, many Celtics veterans retired, and Cousy, Heinsohn, etc. all left the team. Auerbach also resigned from his position as head coach and took on the administrative role of the team. Russell succeeded as the team's head coach, thus becoming the first black coach in NBA history. This year, the Celtics met the Philadelphia 76ers led by Chamberlain in the Eastern Conference Finals. In Game 7, they lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 106-108 and lost the championship. However, in the subsequent 1968 and 1969, the Celtics again won the NBA Finals twice in succession.

Throughout the 1980s, the NBA was an era in which the Celtics and Lakers took turns taking turns. The confrontation between "Bird" and "Magic" Johnson became the biggest attraction in the NBA at that time. The Celtics won the championship. Three championships, the last one in the 1985-1986 season. In 1987, they reached the Finals and lost to the Lakers 2:4.

Beginning in 1986, the Celtics began to decline. When Larry Bird retired in 1992, the Celtics became a weakling in the Eastern Conference. Starting from the 1995-1996 season, the Celtics failed to enter the playoffs for six consecutive years. It was not until the 2001-2002 season that the Celtics entered the playoffs again under the leadership of Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker. In the playoffs, they reached the Eastern Conference Finals that year, but lost to the New Jersey Nets 2:4. But then the team went downhill again, falling to the bottom of the Eastern Conference in the 2006-07 season. Due to Pierce's injury, it set a humiliating record of 18 consecutive losses.
