On this date in 2008 and 2024, the Boston Celtics won their 17th and 18th NBA championships, respectively.
Boston's 18 titles are the most in NBA history ☘️
For what Jaylen Brown did in the regular season on both ends, as the solo star on a "gap year" team that rose to 2nd in the East, he deserved 1st team over Luka Oncic, who led the NBA in turnovers per game and complaining to refs, took most FTs and 3s but average at both.
The brightest star in the league is a 7-foot-4 Avenger who does postgame press conferences like a philosopher, professes his love for the game whenever he can, goes all out for his teammates and talks recklessly to opponents like 97 Rodman. I mean, this is incredible.
