The Boston Celtics are the most decorated team in the NBA. They are owned by Wyc Grousbeck, under his group 'Boston Basketball Partners'. Grousbeck is also the governor of the Celtics, while Rich Gotham serves as the president of the franchise.?
The Boston Celtics were founded in 1946 as one of the association?s initial eight teams. They are statistically the most successful team in the league?s history.

History
A large part of the Celtics? success came in the 1960s, when they were led by the fearless Bill Russell. Standing at a towering height, just shy of seven feet, Russell is regarded as one of the greatest centers to have graced the league. The Hall of Famer won eleven titles with the Celtics, marking him as their most important player in history.?
Bill Russell was meticulously scouted and picked by legendary Celtics coach Red Auerbach, in 1956. Russell?s trade on draft day is one of the most significant moments in the league?s glorious history. Following Russell?s retirement, the Celtics shortly found a new player to fill in his mighty shoes.?
