The Boston Celtics, and few other franchises throughout sports, have held the embodiment of winning through their rich NBA history.
It's a franchise that has come up largely, time in and time out, winning 17 championships throughout its history and having been represented by some of the best players in the NBA.
After a strong off-season and the emergence of their dynamic duo Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Celtics look to bring another title back to town.
Boston Celtics: Strong Season for the Cs
The aura surrounding this year's team feels different compared to past seasons. Over the offseason, the Celtics made a splash by trading for Jrue Holiday and signing Kristaps Porzingis around their core of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Al Horford.
The shake up of the roster has only paid off for the Celtics. Just a few weeks from the NBA All-Star break, the Boston Celtics are currently the best team in the league with a record of 34-10.
Jason Tatum has gone on record, citing this is the most talented team he's played for throughout his tenure in Boston Celtics.''Obviously, we have some new additions to our team with KP and Jrue Holiday. Those guys have been terrific all season and just add a different dynamic to our team," Tatum said per Fox News.
"It's not that the other teams have been talented, but I think this is probably the most talented I've been on, and the most understanding, like we all sacrificed maybe our numbers a little bit." He added.

Jrue Holiday, considered one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, comes with championship experience, winning it with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021. The pairing of him with Derrick White in the backcourt has made the Celtics a nightmare for any backcourt in the league.
And Porzingis, who has been relatively healthy this season, has been able to provide rim protection and another scoring option for the Celtics.
Boston Celtics: The Beast in the East and How the Celtics Stack Up to the Rest
The road back to the finals would be challenging for the Celtics. Despite their dominance this season, teams in the Eastern Conference are making moves to improve their roster.
The Miami Heat, a team that has constantly been a thorn in the Boston Celtics' side, has just traded for Terry Rozier.
The Milwaukee Bucks, who traded for Damian Lillard in the offseason, replaced their head coach Adrian Griffin, bringing Doc Rivers, who has championship experience. And the New York Knicks have been active in the trade market trying to bring OG Anunoby.
The Celtics have been at the bad end of heartbreak in the postseason, losing to the Miami Heat in seven games in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals, one of the more recent postseason collapses they've had.
But all of that can be undone by bringing the championship back to Boston in what seems to be an unstoppable season for them at the moment.
