Recalling the Great Boston Celtics Championship Run

Yesterday was the exact 45 year anniversary of the Boston Celtics’ game seven victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, which gave them an incredible 11th NBA championship in 13 seasons (1957-1969).

The great Celtics’ center Bill Russell  was on board for all 11 championships and remains one of the great figures in sports.

Both Russell and star shooter Sam Jones, who played on 10 championship teams, retired after that season.

The Celtics have managed to win 6 additional championships but no team has or likely ever will match the 11 championships in 13 seasons run of the Boston Celtics.
