Celtics City

Led by Bob Cousy and Bill Russell, the Celtics become an NBA dynasty, but racial tensions in Boston and beyond augur a turbulent era ahead.

The Celtics win a pair of titles in the 70s amid racial unrest, and near the end of the decade, they draft Indiana State star Larry Bird.

Larry Birds epic rivalry with Magic Johnson captivates the sports world. Then, in 1986, an unthinkable tragedy changes everything.

After Reggie Lewis sudden death leaves the city heartbroken, the Celtics spiral into steep decline following the arrival of Rick Pitino.

After the 2008 title, injuries, and internal conflict take a toll. Led by a new crop of stars, the team wins an 18th championship in 2024.​
