With some time to soak it all in, we are just beginning to have had enough context to begin to place the Boston Celtics‘ 2024 NBA Championship in its proper place in terms of history. What will we remember about it in five, 10, or twenty years? Which were flashbulb moments along the path to Banner 18? Which will quickly be forgotten?
And most importantly, just how special is this title in light of the 17 that came before it? To take a look at the winning of Banner 18 and its historical context, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with the Boston Globe’s Chad Finn to talk all things Celtics history. Finn will soon have a new book out that details all of the best moments in the history of the storied franchise through the pens of Globe reporters, from its founding to the most recent title, making him the ideal interlocutor for this mission.
We also get caught up on the trickle of news still percolating up at this late hour in the 2024 NBA offseason, from the Lonnie Walker IV signing to Jayson Tatum‘s China trip with Jordan Brand and more. Check it out below!
The Celtics Lab podcast is brought to you by Prize Picks and Gametime.
