Current Boston Celtics player, Jaylen Brown, mentioned how inspiring Kevin Garnett is as a former star of the franchise. The two never played together, but Garnett still holds some connection with the younger bunch. In an interview with ESPN’s Ros Gold-Onwude [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZotApAYfkU], Jaylen revealed that Garnett has been a huge motivating figure since his rookie days. He narrated a small incident from that time when young Jaylen was sitting on the bench with his head down. “I was at the end of the bench with my head down,” Brown narrated. “And he sent a voice message through my strength coach over the phone like, ‘You better pick your motherf**k*** head up.’ He was cursing me out. He was like, ‘You’ve got to carry yourself a certain way.’ So he told me to pick my head up and fix my body language, right f**k*** now.” Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown appear healthy after ample time off ...

He played as part of the ‘Big Three’ which also included Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Popularly known as the ‘Big Ticket’ for his dunking ability, Garnett was part of 15 All-Star games in his career. The young players of Celtics, like Jaylen Brown, also draw immense inspiration from the master himself. The 23-year-old Celtics guard admits that he is chasing Garnett in Boston. “(He’s) somebody I’m chasing here in Boston, he was the last person to win a championship,” he said. “That’s something I would like to do while I’m here with the Celtics. I’m definitely inspired by Kevin Garnett. I think we’re totally two different people, we play two different positions, but I would like to model my approach after his, and hopefully, we will down the road be looked at as similar.” Boston Celtics are third in the NBA standings of this season. Looking to the season comeback, they seem to be tough competitors for the leading Milwaukee Bucks. Celtics’ starting five is said to be one of the strongest in the league with stars like Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker. Let’s see their progress in Orlando.

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. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-375226 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200913213905/4307697.png" alt="" width="2000" height="2000" />

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. The Celtics have won the most NBA championships (17) and the <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/which-team-with-most-wins-in-nba-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">most number of games</a> in NBA history to date. Moreover, they are a part of the NBA’s Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference.

The TD Garden is the current home arena of the Celtics. The team moved here in 1995 from the iconic Boston Garden, which has now been demolished. Their modern logo has their mascot “<a href="https://twitter.com/celticslucky18?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lucky the Leprechaun</a>” spinning a basketball on one hand and holding a cane in the other. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">History</h2>
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. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-375237 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200913214535/5c9172d145a46.image_.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="730" />

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.

The Celtics saw tremendous success in the Larry Bird era, winning three titles to broaden their legacy. Bird guided Boston to four straight Finals and won the league MVP award for three straight years from 1984 to 1986. After his retirement, the franchise experienced a slump where they failed to qualify for the playoffs for six straight years.

Then in the 2021 playoffs, the injury-plagued Walker played just three games and averaged a postseason low 12.7 points.

The former Celtics guard was awarded a 86 overall rating owing to his displays in the previous season. But in NBA 2K22, his ratings dropped to 83 with a playmaker&#8217;s build and 43 badges in total. Walker went down as the ninth overall pick in the 2011 draft as the then Charlotte Bobcats selected him. He impressed with his shooting and started all 82 games as a sophomore. Walker quickly transformed as Charlotte&#8217;s integral roster piece.  He led them to the 2014 playoffs and put up impressive numbers against the Miami Heat, but they still got swept by LeBron James and co. Things at the newly renamed Hornets franchise quickly turned into a one-man show, and Walker was doing it all.  He enjoyed a tremendous scoring run in 2019 as he finished the season with averages of 25.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. To date, Walker leads the Hornets&#8217; history books in most field goals made, three-point field goals made, free-throws made, and minutes played.  The time was eventually up for Walker with the Hornets as the Boston Celtics came calling in 2019. Both parties developed a mutual interest, after which he was sent to the Celtics via a sign and trade.  Jan 17, 2021; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (8) defends against New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (9) in the third quarter at TD Garden.
