There are so many likable dudes on this team. It’s hard to choose just one but there’s something about the resurgence of KP’s career here that is so exciting and cool to see
I'm a Grizzlies fan but this was a great watch, Celtics are just a likeable team imo. So dope to see big Al finally get a ring, stoked for all the Cs fans who got to experience that win!
My wife and I moved to Boston in 1984. That’s when my love and passion for the Cs kicked in. One of my most precious and memorable moments as a Celtics fan is when I got to go to the old Boston Garden and watch Bird, McHale, Parish, Johnson, and Ainge play and win a championship in 84 and 86.
It makes me emotional as a Celtics fan to see how much he has embraced the team, franchise and city. This dude should have a spot on this roster for as long as he wants. Love the guy
@@jeffreyorcutt2876 As far as I can tell, that's why I'm praying it happens. There are at least 33 to have won both in NBA and NCAA. They are less than 10 to win back to back in either! However, none I've seen to be crucial in winning back to back in both leagues!!
I’ve been a fan of Boston for almost 15 years now and I’ve seen all of the great players over the years, but man I don’t think I’ve instantly loved a player like I do with KP
@@Drizzlybear1 Same! I saw the tail end of Birds career in the early 90’s but KG was really the first bonafide super, superstar I got to see in green. It’s easy to forget how sparse and ugly those mid-90’s through late-2000’s teams were! KG changed the whole culture around the team
@@Andy_Babb KG changed EVERY. THING. ill never forget that shit for the rest of my days. the way that all came together and they added suga ray was just pure basketball poetry
@@Andy_Babbyep! As a millennial I missed out on the good 80s and 90s years and most of my young life was those 90s and early 2000s teams. I loved the Celtics. I loved Kenny and Dana barros lol. Toine! Heck when we got Pierce it was like so amazing cuz I didn’t know it could be better than having a top 5 scorer and winning some playoff games I even remember rondos rookie year when we were terrible and ar least enjoying that Then KD and Ray came. Holy shit
I became a Celtics/basketball fan ever since they were in the Eastern Conference Finals against LeBron in 2018. Even in that short time, there's been a lot of ups and downs from this team but it was all worth it see them win it. I'm only 21, and I'm lucky that I didn't have to wait too long to witness my favorite team win a championship.
I became a fan in 2007 when it was just Paul Pierce. Then that summer they brought in KG and Ray Allen. I'd recommend watching the 2008 Celtics journey, and the full games of Celtics vs Heat playoffs from 2011-13. 2009-13 was just heart break after heart break.
Hope you've done your deep dive into the history of this franchise. If not, do so, because the Celtics and Lakers stand far above the rest of the league in terms of great players and titles, going back to the 50s. I would argue Russell over Jordan or LeBron any day.
the years of disappointment & “almost” were painful, but gave us the experience & chemistry we needed to finally win that Championship & become the MOST WINNING FRANCHISE IN NBA HISTORY ☘️🏆☘️ 18! 18! 18!
the parade was absolutely beautiful, i literally cried. you could just feel the atmosphere. weve been waiting so long for this day, and its the best team and coach to do it
Even after coming up short for some time I never doubted that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown would bring a championship back to Boston. It was only a matter of time with the talent and hard work they showed us since being drafted. Thank you to the Jays and the rest of the team 🍀🍀

I love this team bro. Been a Celtics fan for 25+ years.. this team made me feel some type of way I haven’t felt with any other Celtics team in my lifetime. I watched the warriors dominate the NBA for a decade. I get that type of vibe from this group. I feel a dynasty upon the horizon
KP is an easy player to love because of his personality and the skills that he possesses. However, my first memory of KP was the year that the New York Knicks, Phil Jackson, drafted KP and he got booed by all the Knicks fans that were there.
Congratulations to the Boston Celtics on an amazing 2023-2024 season and winning their 18th Championship!!! A well deserved title and I was so happy to see it!!!
One thing to remember about Stevens is that he is only on generation removed from the greatest GM in the history of basketball. Auerbach trained and mentored Ainge, who then passed that on to Stevens. That's very rare in the NBA, to be so closely connected to one of the early greats and I think it does help Ainge. Auerbach was a visionary who was never afraid to make a controversial move.
What that dude touched on around the 37 minute mark is 100% warranted. Looking back, it really was crazy how much pressure JB and JT were under not just from the city of Boston but the whole basketball community as fucking 19-24 years old. I'm still just in my early 30s but when I look back at me when I was like say 23 for example.... I was practically still a fucking kid compared to where I'm at and what I am now. Yet these two dudes were expected to carry a historic franchise to championships at that same age. The pressure was there early because of how fast they overachieved (say that as a compliment, not an insult). Like yeah they get paid to do it but holy shit that don't mean it can't be mentally and emotionally stresseful/exhausting. That's really kinda crazy to think about. If I remember correctly I think JB opened up a little about having anxiety in his 2nd or 3rd season and looking back, goddamn yeah I can see why.
The first game I ever saw in the Garden was 2 days before Thanksgiving in 1956. I was 10 years old. Celtics beat the Philly Warriors 95-83. Bill Sharman scored 28 and Bob Cousy 22. Rookie of the Year Tom Heinsohn had 10, with 11 rebounds. The C's won their first NBA title in April, winning Game 7 in double-OT against the St. Louis Hawks 125-123. Heinsohn led the way with 37 points & 23 rebounds. The Cous had 11 assists. They had lost Game 1 by the same score reversed, also in double OT. Hawks star Bob Petit had 37 points and 14 rebounds. Bill Russell had 18 rebounds for Celts.
wow it gives me this unreal feeling reading ur comment. I'm a fan from china and have never been to the city of Boston. One day I'll have to watch the game in person! Let's go Celtics!
Flew in from los angeles for the finals game 5. Called in sick to work Monday and Tuesday. Flight back home Tuesday afternoon. Back to work Wednesday morning.
Can say Ime being stupid is the greatest thing he did for the Celtics when he was here. Gave us Joe and a better mindset than Celtics have had in a coach in awhile.
Everyone in the gardens hate Kyrie they didn’t even show him in here when he was on the team but I’m glad the Celtics needed this they been grinding hard for years to make it happen I have nothing but respect for them
Just great to see Boston win banner 18...They did it...I know the other all time Celtics are smiling upon them from heaven including the Lepurcan himself who started the Celtics dynasty Arnold "Red" Auerbach smoking the victory cigar upon the new champion Celtics of 2024...Best of luck to y'all and hope y'all can do it again
There are so many likable dudes on this team. It’s hard to choose just one but there’s something about the resurgence of KP’s career here that is so exciting and cool to see
Resurgence? He did the same thing hes always done. Played at an all star level but was hurt a lot. Celtics can just afford it while other teams cant.
It’s true, but there’s also just so many unlikable players like JB and Tatum
@@reagankarcher3718there only unlikable cuz they keep whooping ur favorite teams
@@notmyname9625 what’s my favorite team
@@reagankarcher3718 doesnt matter we whooped everybody last year and we’re doing the same thing this year too… cope harder
I'm a Grizzlies fan but this was a great watch, Celtics are just a likeable team imo. So dope to see big Al finally get a ring, stoked for all the Cs fans who got to experience that win!
Props to you bro … you’re a real fan of the game!! And I’m with you on Al finally reaching the mtn top 💯 💪

I want him to be the one that gets back to back NCAA & NBA Championship titles so much!! I can feel it!!!

i love that this is narrated by horford !! This is sooo great
So proud of JT and JB and so happy for Al

You should have seen KG when he showed up. Changed everything. I love KP too though for sure

For real
This the beginning of the greatest dynasty team of all time. I’m calling it rn. They’re gonna put the 90’s bulls to shame
So glad Celtics didn’t give up on Brown and Tatum
forever proud of these guys man, its been a long road but that made it all so much sweeter! lets run it back, stay locked in
'We almost lost!'. LOL that so hilarious of Deuce.

Opening shot was perfect
Growing up in Boston all my friends were Dominican!
Aloha Boston I miss you….proud of the clerics let’s do it again boys!
Dorchester and Lawrence MA have the best carribean food in usa… this is coming from someone who has lived in 11 different states including NYC and Miami
Who are the clerics? A group of Dominican priests?
@11:08 is why boston is so dominant. Joe encouraging players to shoot as a way of repaying the passer. Good stuff
Losing in 2022 and 2023 was nessisary learning experience
The level of ad breaks in this video is insane.
Big Al was the perfect person to narrate this championship film.

KP is going to be 2 time nba champion 🇱🇻
All of Latvia is now Celtics fans!.

I'm jealous
I have to be honest here, I’m a 76ers fan and I found this interesting.
That 2020 season my first season as a Celtic the bubble season still haunts me to this day 😢

Go Celtics, make it happen again for Banner 19 this 2025 NBA season...
Great vid big AL! Let's goooo still celebrating November 23 2024!!!!! ☘️ 🍀 ☘️ 🍀 ☘️ ☘️
Two takeaways for me. 1 Compare the Kyrie days to now having D White 😂😂😂 2 Brad Stevens has absolutely killed it. ☘️☘️☘️🔥🔥🔥18🥇🏆
As far as playing curry goes , the nightnight 🙏 doesn’t even get me the way the dancing and does 😩😭😭
Joe Mazulla is so underrated
Once Jrue retired from playing, I hope he tries a coaching job
Always believed they was gone win one of these years and believe they can win more
Let's go Celtics let's win 1 chip again
Everyone in the gardens hate Kyrie they didn’t even show him in here when he was on the team but I’m glad the Celtics needed this they been grinding hard for years to make it happen I have nothing but respect for them
“We almost lost” 1:33:34 😂😂😂
Jayson tatum was in the nba before his voice drop is diabolical
As a Pacers fan, that Game 1 loss absolutely murders me every time I think about it.
Just great to see Boston win banner 18...They did it...I know the other all time Celtics are smiling upon them from heaven including the Lepurcan himself who started the Celtics dynasty Arnold "Red" Auerbach smoking the victory cigar upon the new champion Celtics of 2024...Best of luck to y'all and hope y'all can do it again
Um.... that would be Leprechaun there, Lucky.
I believe we will have a back to back.
After all they’ve been through together … I’d bet anything you could offer these guys Ime Udoka and they’d turn the offer down …. IN JOE
WE TRUST 💯 💪
Who’s ready to go back to back🍀🏆
I’m the 1300th like heck ya.
20:56 locked on celtics fans - say it with me, "slow down to speed up" 🍀💚
Wait so frozone was right in front of us but we're calling him JB?
Not a bad video if you don't mind the 273 advertisements. Holy shit...
Can we buy this? Like, digital library purchase to my Apple account or something? This is the closest thing we get to a championship DVD
wanna ask the same. It's IMPOSSIBLE to get anything related to the Celtics here in China.
@Nba já está na hora de vocês colocarem legendas em outros idiomas desses documentários ou NBA não é global?
Boston Celtics
If there's one thing I learned about some NBA fans that postseason, Boston's injuries don't count, only their opponents' are significant.
NBA Champion Boston Celtics, just sounds right.
Kenny's beard and hairline are the real winners🏆 🏆
We need a boston Celtics movie Frfr 💚🥺
lol Horford is two years older than Mazzulla
Could there be anymore advertising on this vlog 😢
Lots of ads in this vid, dang!
I got two 30sec ads with 5 seconds distance between them. WTF
any way I could download this video?
Hi NBA, captions?
Imagine your team crashing out while Steph running around saying night night
1:14:27 for those of you who DON'T believe #7uice is one of the most genuine human being in the #NBA that is the 2023-2024 #ECMVP and #FMVP #FCHWPO
