The Boston Celtics' current roster, having recently celebrated their 18th championship, is often compared to legendary players, underscoring the pressure of heritage. Jayson Tatum's choice of Larry Bird over Bill Russell as his greatest inspiration sparked local debate, showcasing the weight of the franchise's history. HBO's docuseries 'Celtics City' chronicles these legacies, emphasizing the connections between past and present players. This series captures heartwarming and poignant moments that reflect both the evolution of the team's culture and its enduring ambition to reach the heights of its storied past.
The talents and achievements of the current Celtics—who, of course, collected that 18th banner just last June—bring inevitable comparison to their legendary forefathers on the Garden parquet.
One of the many, many things that the extraordinary new nine-part HBO docuseries, titled 'Celtics City,' gets right is those through lines from one era of the franchise to another.
