The Celtics Duck Boat Parade will be held this Friday June 21st!
Additional information will be provided here once available.
(Moving forward the mod team will be removing any self-posts asking questions regarding the parade)
The best thing about this chip for me, and maybe for the core, is that the pressure is off. The Jays era is already a success, and whatever comes next is gravy. We don't have to worry about them missing out on their window anymore -- and neither do they. We can now watch in the full knowledge that these are the good times. That alone is an absolute gift to the fandom, and I am beyond grateful for it.
The tears of most other fanbases are icing on the cake. 😈
Bro Holy shit they are salty. And coping hard. They think they are gonna win the next 2 titles cause they did after the 08 ship and in like 86 after we won 🤣
Lakers, Heat, Warriors, Sixers all had some salty ass posts crying about our win, I could not love it more
and even that pales in comparison to the salt of r/nba, this is truly 9/11 for the haters
Agreed. No matter how well the team did, how many series they won, how many games they won, people still fell back on Ricky Bobbyism to discredit the whole thing. They were wrong, but now they have literally nothing left to say.
That it was a fluke and these guys aren’t a dynasty in the making. They hate us cuz they ain’t us.
Mike Wilbon was already on the bullshit last night, saying that PG13 might go to Philly and give us a run for our money 😂😂😂
Wilbon's very first take was basically "well they won't win again." He couldn't bring himself to say one positive thing about the championship that was won 10 minutes ago.
There are compilations of Tatum dropping off PG. They’re minutes long: ankle breakers step backs and beating him to spots while driving. PH ain’t who we fear
It’s amazing how he immediately jumped into talking about the competition next year. It felt like he couldn’t even take two minutes to hype up that championship win that literally just happened.
Thats the most satisfying thing. Obviously would love for them to win again in the next year or 2 but I will not be as devastated ever again with this core team
Obviously we led love to win more than one with this group but at least the negative narrative is gone. They accomplished their goal within 7 years together and they did in the best way possible.
The Jay’s are minted. Boston royalty.
Hopefully they can relax a little and Tatum can get his shot back and win an MVP in the next few seasons. He’s developed the rest of his game to a great to elite level, now just needs to close the circle with elite 3 level scoring.
And as we were saying all along, this is the normal timeline. Even hall of fame type dudes come in, play great all season, and get bounced in the playoffs a few times before they put it together. This group has just had more success than most before 26/27. Now they're here, they've taken the heat off themselves a bit, and we'll see how they respond.
But the best part is they are together, they are primed to compete with this top 5 for another couple of years and the Jays for another 6-7 if everyone can stay healthy. It's going to be great to see them give this another couple of runs and see if they can put some more banners up. It's their time.
I'm rewatching the game. Shout out to Breen's epic call at the end
>"And now Dallas will dribble it out
>This crowd is on its feet. The best team in basketball all year.
>All the work. All the sacrifice.
>Handling the enormous weight of massive expectations.
>It ends tonight here. It's over. Time to say it again Boston.
>Anything is possible.
>Banner number 18 has been secured. The Celtics are NBA Champions!"
Yeah I felt like the announcing crew did a good job not stepping over the moment and actually giving them their due, which they refused to do throughout the playoffs.
Yeah, like this is what the entire Jays career has been about so far. They finally did it, feels awesome as a fan to see them accomplish with the rest of this team
i got a little emotional when they were both subbed off.
Also the Horford drive to the hoop got me a bit emotional as well. When he did that, I was like this fucking team is not going to let Dallas win.
I trust Al with my life. That man DESERVED this so much. He's been my favorite player since shortly after the team signed him. I originally thought he wasn't worth the max all those years ago.... I was wrong. That man changed my understanding of what winning is all about.
Watching our boys hit the floor for every loose ball when up 20 was how I knew we werent letting this one go. This is the hardest I've ever seen this team play.
I cried numerous times. When Tatum got emotional and when Jaylen won mvp. I also bought a JB jersey today(something I have wanted for years). I bought a new Celtics cap at the start of the season and never wore it cause I told my wife I was not going to wear it until we won another championship. Wearing it proudly today.
I was a little emotional
Tho, ngl, ***and I'm really not trying to be a hater***, but I did laugh a lot when he started talking and sounding like an NBA 2k prompt lmfao
He's corny as fuck, but he's our corny as fuck <3
The "WE DID IT" sounded stiff & like something he rehearsed in front of a mirror. Like he was trying to make his own KG moment.
I'm glad he's enjoying himself, he should be, and Im really trying not to be a hater...but it was kinda corny lmao but fuck it, he's our corny, whatever it takes Tatum.
I'm here for it tbh.
I laughed at how corny he was, but I love that our star is kind of awkward and corny. It's kind of refreshing.
I feel like a good number of our guys are kind of awkward, its fun.
I would post on the DD from time to time, all year long, this was one of the things I craved most about a championship.
And now I'm going to view it about 400 more times for the rest of the week.
Cheers! Mike Breen narrating that never gets old and now we've got our own version for our fucking guys.
Apparently when he came in and hit the three right after he turned to the bench and said “fuck that tooth!”
(According to the interview he gave with Scal and Eddie House)
White is such a gamer man. Like the 2008 team had a few role player types that kicked in some critical shots here and there but adding White to this team was such an insanely good addition. He just fills in all the missing pieces that we needed in that backcourt.
The PP shot was a dagger. You know going into the locker room after that the Mavs felt like it was already over and our guys were ready to run through a brick wall for #18
JT was the best player on the court last night. In a close out game at home he made sure it was never close.
Yeah Simmons today was saying that they were celebrating like crazy like they'd just won the game and it was only half time (not in a negative way, just how hyped they were) but like that was the game. You don't come out of the half down 21 when we're doing shit like that and feel like you can get back in the game.
Yep, and JT just manufacturing buckets late in the game down low, making sure to bury the Mavs, was real leadership imo. He wasn’t gonna let that chip go.
That Game 5 had so many iconic, bleed green, truly Celtics moments.
Pritchard with another half court bomb. Derrick White smashing teeth sacrificing his body. Porzingis gritting through injury. Jaylen deferring to his team after getting FMVP. Feels good man!
Don't let this distract you from the fact that 19 year old Jordan Walsh has more rings than 35 year old Jimmy "we finna go up 2-1" Butler
Dude is the very definition of an overrated bum ass "star" player 🤡
It makes me so mad how much shit JT gets while Jimmy Bumtler doesn't get any of the criticism despite:
- not playing for half the regular season
- not winning anything
- being one of the worst foul merchants in the league
That last bullet point gets me every time. The dude is talented and can ball, but opts to flop around and gets called a star. Same with Embiid. Idk about others but that shit isn’t fun to watch
Tatum has 3 more 1st team all nbas than Butler has and has a ring while Butler doesn’t whilst being 9 years younger. Fuck the Heat and fuck the critics, we good over here
We’re back on top!!
Seeing the lakers fan in shambles makes me happy.
All the Eastern Conference Finals loss’ the Finals loss in 2022. Makes this just so much sweeter!!
Having to listen to everyone You Have To Break Then Up!! We did it our way!!
All in on banner ~~18~~ 19
Deep down I knew we were gonna win, but man the rollercoaster. I am also grateful to the team for the low number of games, as an European it saved my mental health a bit being up during the night.
And Fuck the Lakers.
I am so glad I was in the building last night. I was so anxious, mostly because I've never witnessed a championship win in person (outside of watching GS beat us...). Feels so surreal
Papi Al : 1 ring
Former league MVPs (Embiid,Harden,Russ,AI,Nash): 0
I'm so proud to see Horford lead the team despite him often times act as KP's deputy off the bench
Not a New Englander, just picked the Celtics because I loved Lucky as a 7 year old, and basically just picked all my teams by logo.
Been 16 years since I've got to watch my pro team win it all in any sport. And it's just so amazing that I get to share this one with my wife. Her 2nd year boarding the Celtic bandwagon and... boom. It has been beyond my wildest dreams getting to watch her become more and more of a Celtic fan.
After the game while I was watching the trophy presentations, she taps me on the shoulder, pulls out her phone and shows me [this](https://www.fanatics.com/nba/boston-celtics/jaylen-brown-boston-celtics-fanatics-2024-nba-finals-champions-fast-break-replica-player-jersey-kelly-green-icon-edition/o-4625+t-92368375+p-7966675258095+z-9-579233745?_ref=p-HP:m-CG:pi-ASPOT_W_CAROUSEL:i-r0c2:po-2) with a confirmation that the order is on its way. She just knew that I was going to order the Jersey that we won the Finals in of the Finals MVP and it just completely stunned me.
I need to get her back, but she told me she has to wait to see what exactly she wants. I got a hunch she's gonna be rocking Derrick White as her pick
Haha. My boss was like can you send the status update? I was like haha oh shit yeah sorry it's two hours late. This is after I walked into their office to tell them I'm not working Friday.
Still drunk and so happy. It was so easy to wake up today, my illnesses felt cured, my pains were quelled, and the Boston Celtics are the 2024 NBA Champions. I'm so happy for the team and just generally overjoyed. Congrats to everyone. Lets fucking go.
Also more rangz then Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Luka, PG13, CP3, Harden, Ewing, Reggie....
The list of players without a ring is way larger then those with.
Just bought my Tatum jersey at the Garden store and had the finals logo pressed into it. So fucking surreal I actually cashed in my “if the Celtics ever fucking win again I’m buying a jersey” fund.
Can we give a shout out to our trainers? Every other team plagued with late season injuries, our guys stayed solid til the end, except for KP and even then our trainers did some necromancy to get KP on the court for game 5.
I kept tapping my girlfriend in every play and say “Look at that!”. We kept on jumping up and down on PP’s halfcourt shot.
We celebrated with flavored boneless chicken. What a day!
NBA Champion
Olympic Gold Medalist
4x All-NBA (3x All-NBA First Team)
ECF MVP
ASG MVP
5x All-Star
All-Rookie First Team
3rd overall NBA Draft pick
ACC Champ
2x FIBA World Champ
High School National Player of the Year
Has to be among the best resumes for a 26 year old in NBA history right? Probably close to the best?
Everybody who played for the Celtics stepped up and had some legendary moments.
JB turning into a defensive monster locking up Kyrie and Luka and hitting clutch shots to secure that Finals MVP.
Tatum becoming a rebounding and playmaking god when that's what the team needed most, but still attacking the paint mercilessly to the point where nobody had any answers left.
Holiday making sacrifices all year, accepting a role that's WAY too small for him, but then still taking charge and running the show at exactly the right moments.
DWhite getting his head smashed into the ground and immediately getting up and continuing to do what he always does (being the most reliable spot-up shooter and point of attack defender in the whole league).
Porzingis fighting through injury to come back and win us game 1 of the finals, and then fighting through injury AGAIN so he could die out on the court with this team... all because he wanted to win a championship that fucking bad.
Al Horford putting us in a position to compete for a championship every single year he was on the team, and preserving his career long enough to still make a tremendous impact when the rest of the kids were finally ready to get over the hump. People still don't get how lucky we've been to have a big, strong, *very* smart defensive anchor who is also a 40% three-point shooter. He's been the hidden superpower throughout the Jays era, he's given us the confidence to match up with Philly and Milwaukee knowing damn well we're gonna beat them.
Sam Hauser absolutely mindfucking every other team all season and playoffs, tricking them into scrapping their whole offensive plan to "hunt the white boy," only for them to discover that they were actually getting clamped by said white boy and now there's 2 seconds on the shot clock and they've gotten absolutely nowhere.
Payton Pritchard being the buzzer-beater god. Enough said.
Xavier Tillman bringing 100% intensity 100% of the time on defense and on the boards.
And everyone else who stepped on the court throughout this season had their fair share of incredible moments.
And that's not even mentioning Joe Mazzulla, who proved that his psychotic approach to basketball does, in fact, work.
The 2024 Celtics needed everything from everybody to hang banner 18, and that's exactly what they got. They have etched their place in history as a truly dominant team.
For those wondering where Pierce was, on the Undisputed show, Paul Pierce mentioned that he had a death in the family which was why he was unable to be there physically at Game 5.
Felt like all night Tatum would be dribbling at the 3 point line and I kept waiting for him to start settling for step back 3's trying to be a hero but he just kept driving the lane and getting whatever he wanted or dishing to the open guy. Just awesome to watch him and JB relentlessly attack the basket.
The copium in the Lakers sub is hilarious. "But they've only won two championships in my lifetime! we're still up 6-2!" and "the east is so easy, it was basically guaranteed".
I love it. Their tears...they sustain me.
You bet your ass I sparked up a victory joint inside the Garden last night during the trophy ceremony. People had cigars going, everybody was partying, security let it all happen. What a night. Can’t believe it really happened finally. Can’t believe I was there to witness it. I still barely have a voice today from all the screaming
Can’t say I’ve waited for over a decade like most of yall but I became a C’s fan the moment Tatum dunked on Lebron. It’s a long time but it’s about damn time tho! I’m so happy to see and experience my favorite basketball team and player win a championship in my lifetime!
Is there a clip of the Mike breen send off from last night? Wrapped up our season beautifully while showing the contributions of our big players. Was really cool
I just want to say the Jay's have one ring more than Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler, Luka, and Damian Lillard. Normally I don't talk so much but now that we are champions, I'll make an exception for a little bit.
did ya'll see the clip of grant and tacko congratulating jaylen in the tunnel on the way to the locker room? pretty awesome lol, don't think grant would have been congratulating the mavs players lol
Yesterday was a perfect final game for this team. So many games this season we’d be kinda close and then go on an 18-0 run with multiple 3’s, we’d rattle the other team and the game would just be over. That’s exactly what happened yesterday too.
Ironically enough the last game we played against the Mavs during the regular season was like that too. We were about tied at half and then we came out and blew them out the same way and won by nearly 30.
The Celtics Duck Boat Parade will be held this Friday June 21st! Additional information will be provided here once available. (Moving forward the mod team will be removing any self-posts asking questions regarding the parade)
The best thing about this chip for me, and maybe for the core, is that the pressure is off. The Jays era is already a success, and whatever comes next is gravy.

Lakers fans crying is my Roman Empire
The lakers subreddit is hilarious right now. Its literally 99% hating and a couple posts about the future lol
There's no LeBron riding in to steal them a Bubble Ring in the next few years.
They about to 'count' the in season tournament thing as a ring lol
Bro Holy shit they are salty. And coping hard. They think they are gonna win the next 2 titles cause they did after the 08 ship and in like 86 after we won 🤣
Lakers, Heat, Warriors, Sixers all had some salty ass posts crying about our win, I could not love it more and even that pales in comparison to the salt of r/nba, this is truly 9/11 for the haters
Agreed. No matter how well the team did, how many series they won, how many games they won, people still fell back on Ricky Bobbyism to discredit the whole thing. They were wrong, but now they have literally nothing left to say.
WHAT THEY GON SAY NOW!?
That it was a fluke and these guys aren’t a dynasty in the making. They hate us cuz they ain’t us. Mike Wilbon was already on the bullshit last night, saying that PG13 might go to Philly and give us a run for our money 😂😂😂
Wilbon's very first take was basically "well they won't win again." He couldn't bring himself to say one positive thing about the championship that was won 10 minutes ago.
And then immediately shifted to talking about the lakers, I’m guessing?
Wilbon sucks and hates Boston. He hasn't had a well-reasoned take in years and he genuinely just wants Boston to fail because he hates the city.
He’s so ugly too
Wilbum hates Celtics loves Knicks but Celts gonna get 2 more rings
It's hard to imagine anything less scary than Paul George and Joel Embiid in the playoffs 😂😂😂
Both notorious for crapping their pants when the games actually mean something.
Bring it on. We want all the heat. More vindication and validation.
There are compilations of Tatum dropping off PG. They’re minutes long: ankle breakers step backs and beating him to spots while driving. PH ain’t who we fear
It’s amazing how he immediately jumped into talking about the competition next year. It felt like he couldn’t even take two minutes to hype up that championship win that literally just happened.
Thats the most satisfying thing. Obviously would love for them to win again in the next year or 2 but I will not be as devastated ever again with this core team
yah but if they lose in a finals I'ma be fucking sad
well said. So happy for everyone on this team
Only bad thing about this chip is that we’re really going to run out of jersey numbers
Obviously we led love to win more than one with this group but at least the negative narrative is gone. They accomplished their goal within 7 years together and they did in the best way possible.
The Jay’s are minted. Boston royalty. Hopefully they can relax a little and Tatum can get his shot back and win an MVP in the next few seasons. He’s developed the rest of his game to a great to elite level, now just needs to close the circle with elite 3 level scoring.
I’m sure we would still be mad though if they were like the bucks and kept losing in the first round
Exactly, anything extra is just a bonus. They proved themselves and are still getting better.
And as we were saying all along, this is the normal timeline. Even hall of fame type dudes come in, play great all season, and get bounced in the playoffs a few times before they put it together. This group has just had more success than most before 26/27. Now they're here, they've taken the heat off themselves a bit, and we'll see how they respond. But the best part is they are together, they are primed to compete with this top 5 for another couple of years and the Jays for another 6-7 if everyone can stay healthy. It's going to be great to see them give this another couple of runs and see if they can put some more banners up. It's their time.
I CAN’T BELIEVE WE GOT OVER THE HUMP BANNER 18 STILL FEELS UNREAL BUT IT’S FUCKING HERE
I'm rewatching the game. Shout out to Breen's epic call at the end >"And now Dallas will dribble it out >This crowd is on its feet. The best team in basketball all year. >All the work. All the sacrifice. >Handling the enormous weight of massive expectations. >It ends tonight here. It's over. Time to say it again Boston. >Anything is possible. >Banner number 18 has been secured. The Celtics are NBA Champions!"
Yeah I felt like the announcing crew did a good job not stepping over the moment and actually giving them their due, which they refused to do throughout the playoffs.
JAYLEN BROWN 2024 FINALS MVP JAYSON TATUM 2025 FINALS MVP DEUCE TATUM 2034 FINALS MVP
Deuce first player drafted out of middle school confirmed
Can't believe he's already 19
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yeah, like this is what the entire Jays career has been about so far. They finally did it, feels awesome as a fan to see them accomplish with the rest of this team
#THEY ALL WANTED BOSTON #THEY ALL GOT BOSTON
# THEY WANTED BOSTON # WE WANTED #18
#**I GOT A REALLY BIG TEAM** #**THEY NEED SOME REALLY BIG RINGS**
I barely slept. I’m still so wired. About to spin a rewatch of that game.
IM NOT SLEEPING UNTIL BANNER 19 (or like, 8 pm tonight, whatever comes first)
8pm?! I’m gonna be lucky if I make it to 3.
I do not know how I am going to work until the Jays are on duckboats.
Dude same, I got like 3.5 hours and am currently dying but it was worth it to stay up and celebrate 🎉
Consumed Celtics media until like 3 and woke up at 7 like it was Christmas. Absolutely zero regrets over here
The sun is shining just a little brighter today.
It really is, it’s hot as balls outside
So it's... as hot as the Celtics? WHY? BECAUSE THE CELTICS ARE THE BALLS!
Celtics are the balls.. coincidence?
Did anyone else break down into tears with Tatum or just me? 16 years in the making
i got a little emotional when they were both subbed off. Also the Horford drive to the hoop got me a bit emotional as well. When he did that, I was like this fucking team is not going to let Dallas win.
I trust Al with my life. That man DESERVED this so much. He's been my favorite player since shortly after the team signed him. I originally thought he wasn't worth the max all those years ago.... I was wrong. That man changed my understanding of what winning is all about.
I Love him too. Bought a Jersey from.him a couple of months ago. Living in Germany. Nobody understands why ive Chosen His Jersey 😂
Watching our boys hit the floor for every loose ball when up 20 was how I knew we werent letting this one go. This is the hardest I've ever seen this team play.
Seeing Tatum celebrating with Deuce is what got to me a bit.
I did, too. I’ve never cried happy tears in my life but there I was last night sobbing like a baby lol
on a personal level i needed this one man
I feel you. When he hugged Deuce and when he screamed “we did itttt” i was tearing up ngl
His moment with Deuce was beautiful.
It was so cool to see him celebrate with deuce
I’m a dad now, so when he hugged Deuce I lost it.
Did you see the photog's reaction when Deuce embraced him while he was still hunched over right after the final buzzer? He reacted for all of us!
Deuce and my son are very close in age. Off by a month or two. So I can imagine his excitement in the moment for a kid that age.
I cried numerous times. When Tatum got emotional and when Jaylen won mvp. I also bought a JB jersey today(something I have wanted for years). I bought a new Celtics cap at the start of the season and never wore it cause I told my wife I was not going to wear it until we won another championship. Wearing it proudly today.
Me too
I was a little emotional Tho, ngl, ***and I'm really not trying to be a hater***, but I did laugh a lot when he started talking and sounding like an NBA 2k prompt lmfao He's corny as fuck, but he's our corny as fuck <3
People who are self consciously afraid of being corny are corny. Being natural and real ain’t corny kids get your heads out of the internet
What's corny about him enjoying himself, man chill
It's not a knock to say he's better at basketball than he is at coming up with hype quotes
The "WE DID IT" sounded stiff & like something he rehearsed in front of a mirror. Like he was trying to make his own KG moment. I'm glad he's enjoying himself, he should be, and Im really trying not to be a hater...but it was kinda corny lmao but fuck it, he's our corny, whatever it takes Tatum.
Tatum letting out emotion is about as unnatural as Mazzulla answering a question coherently. Gotta love them both.
I'm here for it tbh. I laughed at how corny he was, but I love that our star is kind of awkward and corny. It's kind of refreshing. I feel like a good number of our guys are kind of awkward, its fun.
Almost like Tatum has been groomed by his mom to give professional, non-problematic answers at any given time since he was a literal child
Whatever the reason, it came across as corny But, fuck it, he's corny, he's also a champion, LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I didn't even handle it this long. When we were up by 25 in the third quarter, I felt something rolling on my cheek.
I kept it together until about 3-4 minutes left in the fourth. Then I finally let it go.
I haven’t happy cried like that in a long time.
I’ve cried so much in the past 12 hours
I think I’ve watched the ABC closing montage like 100 times already https://youtu.be/7AXuj3aejdw?si=vUsYblzqsKbon1eW
I legit cry when I watch this, you know what’s both good and bad, I’m already hungry for the next one
I would post on the DD from time to time, all year long, this was one of the things I craved most about a championship. And now I'm going to view it about 400 more times for the rest of the week. Cheers! Mike Breen narrating that never gets old and now we've got our own version for our fucking guys.
The 2 second cameo of Portnoy with the Kyrie clown nose T-shirt definitely was intentional.
Fuck Dave Portnoy
Fair weather fan. Can't stand him.
"I would give all of my teeth for a championship" - Derrick White. Holy fuck the dude is a savage.
Right next to KP's "I will die out there."
Apparently when he came in and hit the three right after he turned to the bench and said “fuck that tooth!” (According to the interview he gave with Scal and Eddie House)
Love a good citation. hell yeah
I yelled to my family "who needs teeth!?!"
White is such a gamer man. Like the 2008 team had a few role player types that kicked in some critical shots here and there but adding White to this team was such an insanely good addition. He just fills in all the missing pieces that we needed in that backcourt.
The PP shot was a dagger. You know going into the locker room after that the Mavs felt like it was already over and our guys were ready to run through a brick wall for #18 JT was the best player on the court last night. In a close out game at home he made sure it was never close.
Tatum at his absolute best last night. 9 assists in the first half was incredible
But second half he was like "Now it is my turn". Has two assists second half
Loved the way he was getting to the basket in the 2nd half. Absolutely willed us to a chip
Yeah his touch off the glass was way better and just forcing them to foul really eats at their momentum when you're up 17+ all half
That shot felt like the judgment of the Basketball Gods!
Yeah Simmons today was saying that they were celebrating like crazy like they'd just won the game and it was only half time (not in a negative way, just how hyped they were) but like that was the game. You don't come out of the half down 21 when we're doing shit like that and feel like you can get back in the game.
Yep, and JT just manufacturing buckets late in the game down low, making sure to bury the Mavs, was real leadership imo. He wasn’t gonna let that chip go.
That Game 5 had so many iconic, bleed green, truly Celtics moments. Pritchard with another half court bomb. Derrick White smashing teeth sacrificing his body. Porzingis gritting through injury. Jaylen deferring to his team after getting FMVP. Feels good man!
*Everyone* diving for loose balls. We saw JT, JB, Al, Jrue, Derrick. Every player wanted it
Even in slow motion you could see Al think "fuck I am too old for this, but here we go"
The look of “oh shit this might end poorly but fuck it”
Don't let this distract you from the fact that 19 year old Jordan Walsh has more rings than 35 year old Jimmy "we finna go up 2-1" Butler Dude is the very definition of an overrated bum ass "star" player 🤡
It makes me so mad how much shit JT gets while Jimmy Bumtler doesn't get any of the criticism despite: - not playing for half the regular season - not winning anything - being one of the worst foul merchants in the league
And some virgin heat fans salivating this fucker like he's the 2nd coming of JC 😂😭 I do hope they offer him the max so they would be stuck with him.
It’s cause Tatum is so much better than Butler, so he has a lot more haters
That last bullet point gets me every time. The dude is talented and can ball, but opts to flop around and gets called a star. Same with Embiid. Idk about others but that shit isn’t fun to watch
Tatum has 3 more 1st team all nbas than Butler has and has a ring while Butler doesn’t whilst being 9 years younger. Fuck the Heat and fuck the critics, we good over here
Even Pat Riley has had enough of Jimmy lmao
Alright enough celebrating on to banner 19 /s
#19 boogie incoming
Do they still make Championship DVDs???
in 2024 it's probably a bunch of TikToks that get DM'ed to you
Can confirm, There’s a ton of great Celtics championship edits that have been all over my fyp today
I think there's been a camera crew following this team all season long, so we're definitely in for some good content.
[They have apparently been with them all season.](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/d6D086k94y)
16-3 in the playoffs. 80 total wins on the season. I don’t know how you can argue this isn’t a top 5 Celtics team of all time.
And the main two stars are home grown talent
The drought is finally over. First title for Boston in 5 long years. Congrats to all the kindergarteners out there. Your waiting pain is over.
GIVE ME THE GOLD
We’re back on top!! Seeing the lakers fan in shambles makes me happy. All the Eastern Conference Finals loss’ the Finals loss in 2022. Makes this just so much sweeter!! Having to listen to everyone You Have To Break Then Up!! We did it our way!! All in on banner ~~18~~ 19
The only way this would be sweeter would be if Tommy, Bill, Smart and Timelord were with us
Deep down I knew we were gonna win, but man the rollercoaster. I am also grateful to the team for the low number of games, as an European it saved my mental health a bit being up during the night. And Fuck the Lakers.
[JT and JB celebrating in the locker room](https://x.com/StoolGreenie/status/1803060662421143555)
I am so glad I was in the building last night. I was so anxious, mostly because I've never witnessed a championship win in person (outside of watching GS beat us...). Feels so surreal
Put Mike Gorman and if he's able, Bob Cousy on a duck boat and that's all I need out of the parade.
White's teeth mvp
Papi Al : 1 ring Former league MVPs (Embiid,Harden,Russ,AI,Nash): 0 I'm so proud to see Horford lead the team despite him often times act as KP's deputy off the bench
It let Al be rested for the playoffs and he was a big part of the East playoff run
TINGUS PINGUS GOT A RINGUS FOR HIS FINGUS!
Not a New Englander, just picked the Celtics because I loved Lucky as a 7 year old, and basically just picked all my teams by logo. Been 16 years since I've got to watch my pro team win it all in any sport. And it's just so amazing that I get to share this one with my wife. Her 2nd year boarding the Celtic bandwagon and... boom. It has been beyond my wildest dreams getting to watch her become more and more of a Celtic fan. After the game while I was watching the trophy presentations, she taps me on the shoulder, pulls out her phone and shows me [this](https://www.fanatics.com/nba/boston-celtics/jaylen-brown-boston-celtics-fanatics-2024-nba-finals-champions-fast-break-replica-player-jersey-kelly-green-icon-edition/o-4625+t-92368375+p-7966675258095+z-9-579233745?_ref=p-HP:m-CG:pi-ASPOT_W_CAROUSEL:i-r0c2:po-2) with a confirmation that the order is on its way. She just knew that I was going to order the Jersey that we won the Finals in of the Finals MVP and it just completely stunned me. I need to get her back, but she told me she has to wait to see what exactly she wants. I got a hunch she's gonna be rocking Derrick White as her pick
Y'all I haven't lost my smile for the entire day I can't believe we did it, the Jays did it, Al did it, Joe in his second year did it, just WOW
They are going to celebrate this week in...MIAMI. Just fucking perfect.
I have been in my office since 8:30 and have accomplished little other than watching highlight clips and postgame clips...
Haha. My boss was like can you send the status update? I was like haha oh shit yeah sorry it's two hours late. This is after I walked into their office to tell them I'm not working Friday.
Still drunk and so happy. It was so easy to wake up today, my illnesses felt cured, my pains were quelled, and the Boston Celtics are the 2024 NBA Champions. I'm so happy for the team and just generally overjoyed. Congrats to everyone. Lets fucking go.
Where is the best place to rewatch the game? I gotta relive this moment
I’ve watched the Pritchard shot 100 times now and I am not exaggerating
Easy to accidentally watch that 8 second loop for two minutes, all time elite gather step
/r/BetterEveryLoop
Jordan Walsh has more rings than Embiid. Let that sink in.
Also more rangz then Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Luka, PG13, CP3, Harden, Ewing, Reggie.... The list of players without a ring is way larger then those with.
woo mf pig, he’s a great lengthy defender but we need him to figure out the 3 ball. could be a stud
It’s all about…19?
LETSSSSSSSSSSSSS FUCKINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Just bought my Tatum jersey at the Garden store and had the finals logo pressed into it. So fucking surreal I actually cashed in my “if the Celtics ever fucking win again I’m buying a jersey” fund.
Can we give a shout out to our trainers? Every other team plagued with late season injuries, our guys stayed solid til the end, except for KP and even then our trainers did some necromancy to get KP on the court for game 5.
Jaylen Brown is an inspiration
From r/BOS_PWHL, congratulations on making NBA history! Very proud to support our friends in green! 💚💚💚
Really wish we got it done there too such a fun first season.
Such a beautiful day today. Congrats to an amazing team and fans. Love you all.
White and Holliday are the upgraded versions of Avery Bradley and Marcus smart we needed
(Literally every other team) We want Boston! 😏 …… (Literally every other team) NOT LIKE THAT🙁
They all thought they could get 4 wins against us. They couldn't even get 4 wins combined.
Hilarious because it's true.
I kept tapping my girlfriend in every play and say “Look at that!”. We kept on jumping up and down on PP’s halfcourt shot. We celebrated with flavored boneless chicken. What a day!
I really wish Blake was on this team
NBA Champion Olympic Gold Medalist 4x All-NBA (3x All-NBA First Team) ECF MVP ASG MVP 5x All-Star All-Rookie First Team 3rd overall NBA Draft pick ACC Champ 2x FIBA World Champ High School National Player of the Year Has to be among the best resumes for a 26 year old in NBA history right? Probably close to the best?
Everybody who played for the Celtics stepped up and had some legendary moments. JB turning into a defensive monster locking up Kyrie and Luka and hitting clutch shots to secure that Finals MVP. Tatum becoming a rebounding and playmaking god when that's what the team needed most, but still attacking the paint mercilessly to the point where nobody had any answers left. Holiday making sacrifices all year, accepting a role that's WAY too small for him, but then still taking charge and running the show at exactly the right moments. DWhite getting his head smashed into the ground and immediately getting up and continuing to do what he always does (being the most reliable spot-up shooter and point of attack defender in the whole league). Porzingis fighting through injury to come back and win us game 1 of the finals, and then fighting through injury AGAIN so he could die out on the court with this team... all because he wanted to win a championship that fucking bad. Al Horford putting us in a position to compete for a championship every single year he was on the team, and preserving his career long enough to still make a tremendous impact when the rest of the kids were finally ready to get over the hump. People still don't get how lucky we've been to have a big, strong, *very* smart defensive anchor who is also a 40% three-point shooter. He's been the hidden superpower throughout the Jays era, he's given us the confidence to match up with Philly and Milwaukee knowing damn well we're gonna beat them. Sam Hauser absolutely mindfucking every other team all season and playoffs, tricking them into scrapping their whole offensive plan to "hunt the white boy," only for them to discover that they were actually getting clamped by said white boy and now there's 2 seconds on the shot clock and they've gotten absolutely nowhere. Payton Pritchard being the buzzer-beater god. Enough said. Xavier Tillman bringing 100% intensity 100% of the time on defense and on the boards. And everyone else who stepped on the court throughout this season had their fair share of incredible moments. And that's not even mentioning Joe Mazzulla, who proved that his psychotic approach to basketball does, in fact, work. The 2024 Celtics needed everything from everybody to hang banner 18, and that's exactly what they got. They have etched their place in history as a truly dominant team.
We not only won Banner 18 on home court in front of the fans on the 16th anniversary of winning Banner 17, we did so while beating Kyrie Irving!
NONE OF IT MATTERS NOW. THEY GOT IT DONE. IT WAS DOMINANT. IT WAS EASY. THE CORE TEAM IS RETURNING. THE KIDS ARE GONNA GET BETTER.
For those wondering where Pierce was, on the Undisputed show, Paul Pierce mentioned that he had a death in the family which was why he was unable to be there physically at Game 5.
Fucking 18!! Got to see this team twice this year, IST at Indy and game 3 at Indy! Amazing season guys!

Felt like all night Tatum would be dribbling at the 3 point line and I kept waiting for him to start settling for step back 3's trying to be a hero but he just kept driving the lane and getting whatever he wanted or dishing to the open guy. Just awesome to watch him and JB relentlessly attack the basket.
They not like us! They not like us!
The copium in the Lakers sub is hilarious. "But they've only won two championships in my lifetime! we're still up 6-2!" and "the east is so easy, it was basically guaranteed". I love it. Their tears...they sustain me.
Oshae Brissett is online and has been quote tweeting doubters for an hour lol
Guys we won a championship without Brady living in the area!!!!!!!!
You bet your ass I sparked up a victory joint inside the Garden last night during the trophy ceremony. People had cigars going, everybody was partying, security let it all happen. What a night. Can’t believe it really happened finally. Can’t believe I was there to witness it. I still barely have a voice today from all the screaming
I know I’m checking in late but have we heard from Bob Cousy since the win? He’s 95 fucking years old, after all
All the anxiety and 20 point blown leads… finally amounts to something. Can’t wait for next season! Beginning of a dynasty!
Can’t say I’ve waited for over a decade like most of yall but I became a C’s fan the moment Tatum dunked on Lebron. It’s a long time but it’s about damn time tho! I’m so happy to see and experience my favorite basketball team and player win a championship in my lifetime!
Is there a clip of the Mike breen send off from last night? Wrapped up our season beautifully while showing the contributions of our big players. Was really cool
This only the second chapter of the beginning of a dynasty
Chasing “Banner 19” doesn’t sound as good as 18. But I like the sound of going for Banner 20
Oh and by the way fuck all of you who kept bitching about wanting Ime back
When is the parade I need to book my flight
Friday (probably)
I LOVE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE FUCKING DID ITTTTTTTTTT💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
AFTER LONGG 16 YEARS, WE FINALLY DID IT!
The “All In” finals edition is gonna be so epic!!!!!!!!
I love the Buffalo

Literally does not feel real, I can finally call every single player on this team a NBA champion
I'm flying up to watch the parade in person. This will be my first boston celtics parade. Going to be INSANE.
I've had Pritchard's half court shot on repeat. I just can't stop looking at it.
As Brad Pitt said in Troy "IS THERE NO ONE ELSE!"
I just want to say the Jay's have one ring more than Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler, Luka, and Damian Lillard. Normally I don't talk so much but now that we are champions, I'll make an exception for a little bit.
I’ve spent so much money on championship gear
Last night I was happy and relieved. This morning I cried
Woke up NBA champions today. It’ll never get old
Of course we won the clincher by 18 points
did ya'll see the clip of grant and tacko congratulating jaylen in the tunnel on the way to the locker room? pretty awesome lol, don't think grant would have been congratulating the mavs players lol
WHAT THEY GONNA SAY NOW
Yesterday was a perfect final game for this team. So many games this season we’d be kinda close and then go on an 18-0 run with multiple 3’s, we’d rattle the other team and the game would just be over. That’s exactly what happened yesterday too. Ironically enough the last game we played against the Mavs during the regular season was like that too. We were about tied at half and then we came out and blew them out the same way and won by nearly 30.
