It seems fitting that fate brought Dr. James Naismith to Springfield, Massachusetts in the 1890s, the spot where the game of basketball was born. His modest scheme to create a game that could be played indoors in the harsh New England winters would have dramatic repercussions, becoming a true American institution, thrilling devoted fans, and inspiring generations of hopeful young players in schoolyards and driveways around the world for over a century. Red Auerbach's shrewd vision and stern leadership created the first NBA dynasty in the fifties and sixties, with a legendary Celtics lineup that included Bob Cousy, Bill Russell and Tommy Heinsohn. Their team recorded a record eleven NBA titles between 1957-1969 (eight of them back-to-back!) and their hard work and dedication set the standard of excellence in the NBA, laying the foundation for championship achievements that have never been matched. Celtics tickets were in high demand in the seventies with a dawn of yet another great era in Celtics basketball, as Dave Cowens, Paul Silas, and Jo Jo White led their team to two more NBA Championship wins in 1974 and 1976. The '76 finals are legendary for a Game 5 when Gar Heard of the Phoenix Suns fired the "The Shot Heard 'Round the World," sending the game into triple overtime. The game ended with a John Havlicek shot at the buzzer, a Celtics win, and one of the most exciting and talked-about finishes in professional sports history. In the eighties, the legendary Larry Bird defined yet another era of Celtics excellence. A host of talented players including Hall of Famers Robert Parish and Kevin McHale and the talents of M.L. Carr, Gerald Henderson, Cedric Maxwell and Tiny Archibald helped the Boston Celtics make history with the 1981 NBA Championship victory. But the mighty team that clinched the 1986 title may have been the best Celtics team ever. Dennis Johnson, Gerald Henderson, and Danny Ainge were among a long list of great players who helped the team win 67 games and defeat the Houston Rockets in six games to win the NBA Finals. The Boston Celtics embody both the spirit of the game's humble beginnings and the promise of its potential, with sixteen NBA Championship wins in its sixty-two-year history - more than any other NBA franchise - and a list of alumni that reads like a who's who of the very best players in the history of professional basketball. The story of the Boston Celtics is alternately one of dominance and rebuilding, and the glory of its past keeps the team's faithful fans hopeful of regaining the thrill of yet another championship season. As a result, Celtics tickets are always hot commodities; a seat at the Garden is a centerpiece for a Boston night to remember. Championship hopes may once again be realized in 2008, as the Boston Celtics return to form, dazzling the Eastern Conference and defying expectations with the kind of energy, balance and skill that would make Coach Auerbach proud. Kevin Garnett's spectacular performance on the court has few equals and his leadership drives a fearsome defense that shuts down would-be rivals. Sharp shooter Ray Allen is true to form, surpassing the career 17,000-point mark early in the season. Paul Pierce finally has his supporting cast and continues to rack up the points that help drive their team to victory. Emerging star Rajon Rondo accelerates the pace with his excellent play at point guard.
