Experience the illustrious and passionate history of The Boston Celtics, the winningest team in NBA history, as it happened through the articles, features, and lens of their hometown and national news outlet, The Boston Globe.


From the moment the Boston Celtics first set foot on their parquet floor in the inaugural 1946 season through the 2024 championship season, The Boston Globe has covered the NBA’s most storied franchise with the journalistic equivalent of a fullcourt press. For nearly 80 years, The Boston Globe’s generations of stalwart writers and reporters have been there to document it all in real time, with feature stories, columns, and game reports, from founder Walter A. Brown’s early faith in the fledgling team through the Bill Russell dynasty, the Larry Bird golden era, and of course, the 18 championships, the most by any NBA franchise.
The Boston Globe Story of the Celtics is a never-before-published collection of hundreds of the most incisive, informative, and entertaining articles edited by award-winning columnist Chad Finn and written by acclaimed reporters such as Bob Ryan, Jackie MacMullan, Leigh Montville, Dan Shaughnessy, Baxter Holmes, Gary Washburn, and Adam Himmelsbach.
Story of the Celtics brings to life the most important and impactful moments in the team’s illustrious history, and archival photographs illustrate every era up to the current season in this special collection brought to you by two storied Boston institutions.
