Boston Celtics

Why the Celtics Are the New Kings of the Court (and the White House)!

Catch the scoop on the Boston Celtics' dazzling victory, their White House visit, and why Brad Stevens is the coolest boss in the NBA!

The Boston Celtics have been stealing the spotlight in the NBA, and it’s not just because of their dynamite performance. Recently, President Joe Biden, with the Secret Service code name "Celtic" (seriously!), welcomed the team to the White House to celebrate their remarkable 2024 NBA title win. The Celtics were honored with the traditional photo-op while posing with the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy and even gifted the President a custom Celtics jersey. Talk about a slam dunk in politics and sports!

Meanwhile, on the court, the Celtics are on fire, cruising to a solid 12-3 record this season. After a commanding victory over the Washington Wizards, where Jaylen Brown scored a whopping 31 points, the boys in green showed that victories aren't just won; they're earned, even on tough days. Jayson Tatum might have had a rough night, but his teammates rose to the occasion, ensuring they stayed competitive in the NBA Cup. It turns out, winning is a team game — something that Brad Stevens, the President of Basketball Operations, definitely preaches!

In an inspiring talk at Bentley University, Stevens delved into his career in sports and emphasized the importance of humility. The lessons he shared resonate not just in basketball but in life — showing us that even superstars need to stay grounded. Boston fans are lucky to have such a passionate leader shaping the squad, blending experience with expert insights. After all, whether it's on the hardwood or in the hallways of power, success is about teamwork!

As the Celtics prepare for their next matchup against the Wizards again, they're looking to maintain their winning streak. The atmosphere is electric, with fans buzzing about whether they can push through and win all three matchups this season. And let’s not forget, in sports, every day is an opportunity to flip the scoreboard! Fans can catch the action tonight on NBC Sports Boston and NBA League Pass — no excuses not to cheer them on!

Fun Fact: Did you know the Boston Celtics have won a record 17 NBA championships? They’re tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most in league history.

Also, how's this for a surprise? The Celtics were founded in 1946, and they were one of the first teams to incorporate a dance team, proving they not only know how to shoot hoops but also how to shake things up!
