Celtics History

Quite simply, the Boston Celtics are "the Franchise," Celtics Green is "the color," and the winking leprechaun that serves as the team's logo symbolizes five decades of NBA tradition.

A charter member of the Basketball Association of America (which evolved into the NBA), Boston has won 17 World Championships, more than any other franchise in the league.
