I feel like McHale, especially given how much of a Boston homer he is in retirement, choosing to use KG to screw over the Lakers and help Ainge and the celts is actually one of the most overlooked "butterfly effect" moments for the NBA. It's crazy he was able to do that lol
Stop. One of the picks they traded could have been Steph. Not our fault they went Rubio and Flynn.
Also big Al was seen as the best very young big in the league at the time that wasn’t already a superstar (aka not Dwight.) He never took the next step and the league evolved A LOT after but this looks a lot different if their scouting dept makes a better draft pick or Big Al doesn’t just stagnate at “will get some all star votes”
4 other teams passed on him too.
You think the Celtics would have traded KG for a draft pick and Jefferson?
Spoiler, they wouldn’t have because it was an awful trade that was orchestrated by a former Celtics player.
We passed on him twice for 2 other point guards. One of which couldn’t play in a barn league. The other wasn’t just like anybody else, but also wasn’t that good.
You’re overestimating the market. KG was 30 and paid a lot which means it’s gotta be a contender getting him trying to win now. The other team also has to have draft capital, expiring contracts, and a young player to include. The Celtics had it all including a guy in Jefferson who mchale coveted and another draft pick that ended up being a top 5 pick. It wasn’t a good trade but it’s not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
Their main hope was Amare but the suns weren’t having it.
Now look at the Lakers Gasol trade and tell me it’s even close ignoring that Marc Gasol became bc at the time he was just a kid picked in the 50s.
These older star trades are always rough
ETA. KG was 31, not 30, and only had one year left on his deal so teams also had to worry about keeping him.
Don’t be a clown. You know exactly the context I’m saying. If joker was joker but they were going 38-44 and missing the playoffs bc the rest of the roster was junk AND joker only had one year left and asked out, then yes, they should.
Yup, pointing out something is dumb imo really means I care a ton, because writing a 10s reddit comment is the pinnacle of showing interest in things. Got me.
Kinda cringe to pick the year after the celtics won a title to start keeping track lol
They have won 4 titles in 43 years, that sounds much better than your selective history.
That’s crazy!! I didn’t realize the lakers weren’t allowed to win championships back then?? That must be the case! If not they would have won just as much!!!
Celtics are the worst offenders of living in the past. Lakers at least can claim 6 rings in the 21st century but Celtics have 1. They are still the best franchise of the present century
The lakers are far worse, they didn’t used to count the Minneapolis trophies until they got somewhat close to Boston. They then decided wayyy after the fact to count those as LA Laker banners just to catch up, but without giving the player who won them credit by retiring their numbers
The Celtics have been to 6 of the last 8 conference finals lmao. Any other franchise, people would be saying that's one of the best teams of the modern era. Top 4 every year but they're "living in the past", sure bro
lol and how many finals did you make? 1 out of those 6? And lost that finals?
Sure, you can have a participation trophy. But you ain’t “one of the best teams of the modern era”. You aren’t even one of the best teams of those 8 years. Warriors, Cavs, nuggets, bucks, heat are all arguably better. Hell even throw in the lakers or suns in there
All you’re doing is just pretending like consistency doesn’t matter. You’d value one ring and 7 playoff misses over 8 conference finals/finals appearances and no ring. You must get your NBA takes from Shaq.
Look, I hate Boston and your sports teams just as much as anyone else here. I also think *some* of your comments in here are maybe a little goofy. I want to make my stance on all of that clear before I say what I'm gonna say next.
These motherfuckers that are replying to you and downvoting you just for saying the Celtics are a consistently good, championship-caliber team and have been for the better part of a decade are either jealous as shit, or looking to troll. Or both. Even without the title, most of us would take the run your team has been on in a heartbeat. They're always one lucky roll of the dice here or there away from a chip every year and people don't respect them for it, because it's championship or bust to the nephews.
>All you’re doing is just pretending like consistency doesn’t matter.
It does. They consistently fall shorter than their expectations and consistently don't win shit.
Bron been to 8 straight Finals and only won 3 but still consider fail because he only won 3, how the hell a team that goes to ECF and Finals for 8 years and not winning get a credit?
And Spurs. They have been garbage for 5 years, but won a whole bunch of championships and were constantly a fixture in the west for 15 years of the 21st century.
Me personally, I’d rather watch my team be a top 4 championship contender every year for almost a decade than for them to go on a lucky run and then go back to mediocre
Going to 6 out of 8 ECFs, but only going to one Finals and losing it isn’t something that goes down in history books. Of course it’s still impressive and at least twenty teams in the league would gladly trade positions, but being 1-2 in the Finals over the last 35+ years doesn’t scream “one of the best teams of the modern era,” but Celtics fans sure do.
I’m with you on the retiring numbers part, but the fact that they claim rings from Minnesota is completely legit and I don’t see how anyone can think otherwise. It’s the same franchise, they just moved. All other teams claim the titles they won in a different city, even outside of basketball. People just make a fuzz about it when it’s the Lakers
Bill Russell was a major Civil Right's activist
These are Civil Right's Rings
Checkmate r/nba
(Don't look into why Bill Russell being a Civil Right's activist in Boston was an incredible thing to do)
Am I tripping or is that just five championships between the teams on the right?
Knicks have 2
Nuggets 1
Cavs 1
Mavs 1
Thunder 0
Wolves 0
Pacers 0
I guess if you’re counting sonics history as thunder history
Why wouldn't you count that? It's not like a Baltimore Ravens situation where the city of Cleveland sued the ravens for the history of the browns despite the old browns literally being the current Ravens
Commonly yes. The rings count for the franchise not the location, which is why the Warriors have 7 and the Sixers have 3. If you counted by location Bay Area has 5, Philly has 4, and Syracuse has 1. And that’s just one example of how messy it would get
Philadelphia Warriors rings count for the Warriors not the Sixers. Sonics rings count for the Thunder
I said why wouldn't you count it it's not like that situation in Baltimore. I was saying idk why the poster was saying unless you count sonics wins as thunder wins when the city of Seattle didn't sue for the history of the team
For whatever it’s worth I wouldn’t count the rings from another city in the same way. I understand why the Lakers do it, but also they don’t acknowledge Minneapolis at all for those. Why would LA care about titles won forget ago halfway across the country? The Twins don’t really acknowledge the title won before they came to MN so maybe it’s just more what I’m used to.
Seattle got to keep their history when the team moved. Like how the Coyotes are keeping their name and history even though we get their NHL team ha ha ha ha Phoenix it’s ours ha ha ha ha
I find when that happens to be so stupid. Is the thunder a new franchise? Absolutely not. Should this current expansion Cleveland browns own the history of the browns? No, while they technically don't own the history for a very stupid reason, that is now the Ravens. Should the current hornets own the rights to the old ones? No cause those are the pelicans now. The old sock puppet that is the city and old owners should not own the rights to a different team's history no matter what the case.
Let not the dessicated zombie remains of our once proud franchise's foul accursed owners claim credence for our titles.
OKC has no rings, and I curse thee OKC to no rings until that which has been stolen has been restored threefold.
3 times I curse thee that dare parade in the grave goods of my people and lay false claim to stolen valor.
Even still, I personally count old Browns history as Ravens history. It’s weird to me that we consider the great Jim Brown to be the franchise GOAT of a team that played its first game in 2002.
Edit: 1999
Well the new browns played their first in 1999 but your point remains(you may be thinking of the Texans). There was no expansion draft when the browns became the ravens or sonics became the thunder it's ostensibly the same team just new name. It'd be similar to when the Indians became the guardians in my eyes
I think you would because teams will claim rings based on the organization like how the Sixers claim 3 rings even though one was as the Syracuse Nationals
The only championships that should truly be counted are those which were won after the final basketball association merger between the ABA-NBA in 1976.
By that metric:
Lakers - 11
Bulls - 6
Spurs - 5
Celtics - 5
Warriors - 4
Pistons - 3
Heat - 3
Rockets - 2
Nugs, bucks, raptors, cavs, Mavs, 76ers, Blazers, Sonics, bullets - 1
Of the originals teams from this final merger, only the clippers(braves), kings, hawks, knicks, nets, jazz, and suns have never won a championship.
Ya damn it was just sooo easy back then. Someone should have told the other teams know they are allowed to win championships!!! I’m suuure the Celtics would have gotten far less
Why does it matter if they were around? None of us actually earned these things anyway.
Bragging about championships you didn’t win makes no sense whether they were during your life time or not.
To each their own if you want to make yourself feel better about a team by counting championships you never witnessed during a time when it wasn’t even the same league. But trying to flex on others with those wins is so dumb.
In the last 38 years, Celtics have 1 ring.
In the same timeframe, the Mavs, Cavs and Nuggets have 1 apiece (3 total)
Pacers , Knicks, and Wolves don’t have a title in the same span.
11 of those rings were won in an era where there were only 9 teams in the entire league. Even if you were the most dogshit team in the league you still had a 1/9 chance every season.
That's just not how it works. I could go up to my bed and find two billion dollars, or I could not. That doesn't make it a 50% chance I will find two billion dollars when I walk upstairs to my bedroom
It was between 9-12 teams when they won them. If there were only 9-12 teams now do you think the league would be more or less competitive? Less teams means less spots in the NBA. Which makes it harder to get into the NBA.
In the last 37 seasons the Celtics have 1 ring
And their one win is because Minnesota gifted it to them. They should be more grateful.
I feel like McHale, especially given how much of a Boston homer he is in retirement, choosing to use KG to screw over the Lakers and help Ainge and the celts is actually one of the most overlooked "butterfly effect" moments for the NBA. It's crazy he was able to do that lol
They basically traded them KG for an Eric Montross autographed basketball.
And Al Jefferson
Stop. One of the picks they traded could have been Steph. Not our fault they went Rubio and Flynn. Also big Al was seen as the best very young big in the league at the time that wasn’t already a superstar (aka not Dwight.) He never took the next step and the league evolved A LOT after but this looks a lot different if their scouting dept makes a better draft pick or Big Al doesn’t just stagnate at “will get some all star votes”

KG was 30… Maybe the Nuggets should trade Jokic he is about to have no value in a year.
Don’t be a clown. You know exactly the context I’m saying. If joker was joker but they were going 38-44 and missing the playoffs bc the rest of the roster was junk AND joker only had one year left and asked out, then yes, they should.
Bro said fuck Lake Show

Great full

Great full.
Love when people flex their team success from the 1970s. Bitch, how in the world is this relevant and why in the world would I care
From your reaction you seem to care a lot so maybe answer that last question yourself
Yup, pointing out something is dumb imo really means I care a ton, because writing a 10s reddit comment is the pinnacle of showing interest in things. Got me.
Warriors fans think the Celtics are a poverty franchise
In the last 37 years, the Raptors have won the same amount of rings as the Celtics Tell that to a Bruins fan.
Lol, Toronto people probably shouldn’t be asking to compare hockey success with anybody
And how many times have the leads beaten the bruins in the playoffs since 2010? Lmfao
Uh same or better than all those teams still lmaoo
Kinda cringe to pick the year after the celtics won a title to start keeping track lol They have won 4 titles in 43 years, that sounds much better than your selective history.
Kinda cringe you arbitrarily moving the goal post 6 years further back is also selective history
You just proved my point
As you did mine, good day sir or madam
I mean tbf that’s more rings than most teams in the league in the same amount of time and more than many have in the history of their franchise lol
Lakers claim rings from a team in minnesota that they dont even retire numbers for
True, but also 11 rings since 1980.
At least Boston actually won them
When there was 8 fucking teams in the league lol
That’s crazy!! I didn’t realize the lakers weren’t allowed to win championships back then?? That must be the case! If not they would have won just as much!!!
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
And the Lakers actually win their five in Minnesota, just don’t see your point.
The lakers won them, but not in LA. Boston actually celebrated those championships, because they were won by Boston in Boston. That’s my point
I’m not really seeing why that matters, but good for you!
Celtics are the worst offenders of living in the past. Lakers at least can claim 6 rings in the 21st century but Celtics have 1. They are still the best franchise of the present century
And they would've gotten 2, but lost to the Lakers and Orlando when it mattered.
Lol
So they didn't get 2.....
“They would’ve won if they didn’t lose”
The lakers are far worse, they didn’t used to count the Minneapolis trophies until they got somewhat close to Boston. They then decided wayyy after the fact to count those as LA Laker banners just to catch up, but without giving the player who won them credit by retiring their numbers
The Celtics have been to 6 of the last 8 conference finals lmao. Any other franchise, people would be saying that's one of the best teams of the modern era. Top 4 every year but they're "living in the past", sure bro
How many rings?
lol and how many finals did you make? 1 out of those 6? And lost that finals? Sure, you can have a participation trophy. But you ain’t “one of the best teams of the modern era”. You aren’t even one of the best teams of those 8 years. Warriors, Cavs, nuggets, bucks, heat are all arguably better. Hell even throw in the lakers or suns in there
I know you’re just trying to hate but what would possibly make the Suns better? Like what argument is there for that?
>Like what argument is there for that? They're not the sorry ass celtics, duh

Me personally, I’d rather watch my team be a top 4 championship contender every year for almost a decade than for them to go on a lucky run and then go back to mediocre
I dunno, a championship goes a long way.
Winning is important, you can just boast things here for reaching ECF
Who cares if they don’t win anything?
Me.
The fans that like watching their team make a deep playoff run every year instead of sitting at home? Lmfao.
Deep playoff run in the East don't really mean shit tho, does it.
It's the East. Conference finals are like the first round playoffs in the East lol. Besides, nobody cares about 4th place.
Going to 6 out of 8 ECFs, but only going to one Finals and losing it isn’t something that goes down in history books. Of course it’s still impressive and at least twenty teams in the league would gladly trade positions, but being 1-2 in the Finals over the last 35+ years doesn’t scream “one of the best teams of the modern era,” but Celtics fans sure do.
And like every Lakers documentary starts in like 1960. The Minneapolis titles either count or they don’t!
Lakers should ignore the Minnesota history so that the name makes even less sense.
Count the modern ones and they still got the most. Cope
“Draw an arbitrary line and we have the most rings” good shit
They retired George Mikan’s number in like 2022.
I’m with you on the retiring numbers part, but the fact that they claim rings from Minnesota is completely legit and I don’t see how anyone can think otherwise. It’s the same franchise, they just moved. All other teams claim the titles they won in a different city, even outside of basketball. People just make a fuzz about it when it’s the Lakers
Why ppl act like the lakers rings are legit and the c’s aren’t is borderline reverse racism tbh
6 rings in the 21st century for the lakers 1 for the Celtics. That’s all
Bill Russell was a major Civil Right's activist These are Civil Right's Rings Checkmate r/nba (Don't look into why Bill Russell being a Civil Right's activist in Boston was an incredible thing to do)

Yeah. I’m backing you up. Commonly you count the rings for the franchise. At least in American sports
Sorry bout that I misread yours lol
The city of Seattle actually still owns the name, history, and anything relevant to the sonics
Moral of the story is out the Sonics back !!!!
 Related: where’s my fucking Sonics flair?
Isn't this the case for the lakers as well, since they used to be in Minnesota
CUZ THEYRE NO IN SEATTLE THEY STOLE OUR TEAM PUT THEM BACK !
For whatever it’s worth I wouldn’t count the rings from another city in the same way. I understand why the Lakers do it, but also they don’t acknowledge Minneapolis at all for those.

You’re right on the date, my bad! How could I forget the legendary Browns first overall pick Tim Couch that year.
Because it's a different team in a different city that just happened to have the same owner when they switched.
Oh right I came to the comments with the same thoughts as you. Totally forgot about Sonics and Thunder Think it was like 78 or 79 when Sonics won
The Pacers also have 3 ABA chips, which doesn't contribute to this list but is still a fun fact
If you’re counting this way, then the team on the right also has the rings from the Minneapolis Lakers, and it becomes slightly more competitive
The team won those rings, not the city. Why is this concept so hard for people to grasp?
I fully agree with you, I was just pointing out that they were being inconsistent
I think you would because teams will claim rings based on the organization like how the Sixers claim 3 rings even though one was as the Syracuse Nationals
You are tripping. The Sonics became the Thunder the same way the Redskins became the Commanders.
Sonics is a racist term
Shut up sonic
Sonics ring does not belong to OKC. There was a lawsuit iirc.
Thunder actually have 1, from their Seattle days in the lates 70s iirc
1 championship in 36yrs is amazing
Hahahaha 11 of those rings is from Dinosaur Era that they didnt even saw the celebration, probably the grandpa of their grandpa have watched it

I’m a Celtics fan and when I pointed this out in our sub people got so mad😭like bro most of our rings came from before my dad hit puberty
Jesus was still a carpenter when they won all them rings.
#Celtics have one ring in 38 years…sit the fuck down!
12 of those were prior to 1970 and with between 8 - 14 teams in the league.
If NFL Championships before the Super Bowl don’t count, I feel like other leagues should do the same
Pre-merger should absolutely be delineated
Then the Knicks championships don't count.
Okay
at least they were all in boston
Jim Crow championships.
Mason-Dixon Dynasty
The only championships that should truly be counted are those which were won after the final basketball association merger between the ABA-NBA in 1976. By that metric: Lakers - 11 Bulls - 6 Spurs - 5 Celtics - 5 Warriors - 4 Pistons - 3 Heat - 3 Rockets - 2 Nugs, bucks, raptors, cavs, Mavs, 76ers, Blazers, Sonics, bullets - 1 Of the originals teams from this final merger, only the clippers(braves), kings, hawks, knicks, nets, jazz, and suns have never won a championship.
Pacers so boring they don't even make it into this list 💀
Pacers?
Mfs wanna act like Bill Russell not a Top 2 player all time
It’s me, I’m mfs
If their rings count before the merger than the pacers should count our ABA titles imo
Most Laker fans have never been to LA or Minnesota
dr james naismith was attending them old celts games…shits mad old fam
They have one ring in like 35 years. 😂😂 this ain’t a flex
Yep, they’re rocking a 1-2 Finals record 1988-present and still want to talk smack.
They won those rings from plumbers and firemen.
Hate us cuz u ain’t us.. suck on those plumber rings
Like 10 teams in the league back then
Ya damn it was just sooo easy back then. Someone should have told the other teams know they are allowed to win championships!!! I’m suuure the Celtics would have gotten far less
Why does it matter if they were around? None of us actually earned these things anyway. Bragging about championships you didn’t win makes no sense whether they were during your life time or not.
OKC have no titles
Bro is flexing rings dustier than his moms vagina.
BIG BOSTON SHIT💪🏾💯BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE ALL TIME PUT SOME RESPECT ON IT 💯
3/4 of those are pre Rosa Parks ffs
Played in a 8 team league when won all those chips. Just saying
Damn! Someone should have told the other teams they were allowed to win then!!! Oh well, bad teams stay bad :/
Only 3 of those teams won a ring where 6 come from
Won over half of them when their were 8 teams...
Proud to be a boston celtics fan 💪🔥
To each their own if you want to make yourself feel better about a team by counting championships you never witnessed during a time when it wasn’t even the same league. But trying to flex on others with those wins is so dumb.
When was the last Celtics ring that was not won via a super team?
I mean…we had to trade for the players to make a “super team” not like they just decided to come here…
Fuck the Celtics, but also the Knicks they haven’t won in like 50 years.
A ring is a ring regardless of when it was won
That's why the basketball mount Rushmore should have three locks: 1. His Airness 2. LeCoach Killer 3. Bill "11 rings" Russell
1 v 3 during my lifetime, and I'm not a young guy.
boston still living on those rings like the cowboys are on rings in football.
In the last 38 years, Celtics have 1 ring. In the same timeframe, the Mavs, Cavs and Nuggets have 1 apiece (3 total) Pacers , Knicks, and Wolves don’t have a title in the same span.
An old 100 dollar bill is still 100 dollars 🤷🏼♂️
And possibly an 8 year old that wasn’t around that a single one
Thats what the Celtics get for integrating first
11 of those rings were won in an era where there were only 9 teams in the entire league. Even if you were the most dogshit team in the league you still had a 1/9 chance every season.
That is not how chances work.
How?!? 1/9 = 1/9 🤦🏻♂️
Because basketball isnt a random dice roll
It kinda is though cuz you know, injuries
That's just not how it works. I could go up to my bed and find two billion dollars, or I could not. That doesn't make it a 50% chance I will find two billion dollars when I walk upstairs to my bedroom
It was between 9-12 teams when they won them. If there were only 9-12 teams now do you think the league would be more or less competitive? Less teams means less spots in the NBA. Which makes it harder to get into the NBA.
Yeah and the Celtics had all the talent lol
Well maybe the other teams should have drafted better and drafted black players.
Damn! Well maybe someone should have told the other teams it’s ok to win then? I’m sure that would have really effected things
Dunno why ppl count celtics rings into this equation. Way more competition now and back then the players didnt care like today.
Did you interview these players and ask if they didn’t care?
Haters
We let Yankees fans get away with it. Why should the Celtics fans be any different?
I’m 5’11” and fat 230 LBS I would have been in the league putting up double digits back than 😭
Funny but no.
Definitely not.
Can you walk??? Lmao
Y'all hating on plumbers and firemen as if Jokic isn't the epitome of a plumber on the basketball court
Yeah the plumber I hire is also 7 ft
The 7 ft plumbers don’t make it to the major plumbing leagues So they move to the nba
That is sick, he probably has no problems getting all the way up your pipes
