Boston Celtics Jerseys – Every Player, Every Era, Every Number

The Boston Celtics are one of the most successful and historic franchises in NBA history. Founded in 1946 as one of the original teams of the Basketball Association of America, the franchise joined the NBA when the league was formed in 1949. Unlike many historic NBA franchises, the Celtics have remained the Boston Celtics throughout their entire history.

The Celtics have won a league-leading 18 NBA Championships, more than any other franchise in NBA history. Their championship years are 1957, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986, 2008, and 2024.

The franchise built one of the greatest dynasties in sports history during the late 1950s and 1960s, winning 11 championships in 13 seasons, including eight consecutive titles from 1959 through 1966. Later generations of Celtics legends, including Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and many others, continued the tradition of excellence in Boston.
