Celtics Dynasty


Boston Celtics, one of the most dominant teams in the league. The Celtics dynasty started during the late 50's and through the mid 80's where they dominate the each game they played. After being so dominant for 3 decades, the Celtics big three (Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish) retired in the mid 90's and they've been criticize by fans if they could still be a championship caliber team. Boston took the issue personally and led to a blockbuster trade in which GM Danny Ainge acquired a perennial all-star Ray Allen and 2 time mvp Kevin Garnett. With the new "big three" the Celtics grabbed their 17 NBA title and completed the greatest single-season turnaround in NBA history.
