No team in history has had the chemistry this team had, unselfish play hard-working and yes the best team ever ! 1986 💖

Larry Bird didn’t suffer from caving in when he got upset. When he got angry, you’re gonna get beat.

Dominique: “his eyes got THIS BIG!”

[@twistedsagasgaming8254]

I'm not a Celtics fan, but it's hard to deny a 50W - 1L streak in the toughest division of a talent-rich era.

[@alanela6761]

This team was by far the best passing team I've ever seen. They could get from half court to a layup with 3-5 passes and zero dribbles while everyone was in motion

[@Maverickmom88]

Yes, they were the greatest of all time, no they were not a super team, they were home grown. Developed under Bird’s wings. Built not bought. That’s why they had the chemistry.

[@timhall5229]

Red deserves a little credit here.

[@eddiehaskell1957]

​@@timhall5229I agree with that.

[@brianbrooks1285]

Case closed! Yes, they were the best team ever! The reason I say that is not because no other team won more titles throughout the years. It's because their '86 team did better in a year's time than any other team in history! Many teams have more championships than the Celtics, but no five players on the same team have peaked together on that level of playing within the same year! They had the whole package! They were really that good playing in the most skilled era in basketball!

[@cesarmedina7080]

I don't know about most skilled but definitely the most competitive.

[@patmuldoon9369]

Okay!!!! You recognize McHale's brilliance! His moves in the low post were crazy!

Dominique was the real deal. He was a great mid-range shooter who would duel with Bird every time. He was and is a very class act. Just never had this kind of team around him.

I miss being a kid watching the Celtics on tv. Bird was just amazing.

[@mckill32]

Greatest team ever. Ball barely touched the floor, the movement was incredible.

[@marykuettner752]

Red Aurbach put together that 86 team. Through trades and drafts he put together a team that worked so well together. Walton called Aurbach to see if Boston might be interested in him. Bird was sitting in Red's office and said "Get him" when Red asked. Walton went to Parish's house right away to tell him he was there to help not to try to come for his job. When they interview anyone from that team they talk about how much fun they had. Bird was an extremely unselfish player and it carried over to the whole team.

[@zombie92110]

Jerry was the logo because not only he was a top 5 to top 3 player in the league for pretty much his entire career and he was also the most respected player in the league by other players and the most beloved by fans. So nobody was mad at him being the logo.

It’s crazy u say that because of how much some “experts” talk down on him saying he wasn’t the best. But I have definitely heard great things about him as well! Thanks for sharing

Not only did Larry win three consecutive MVPs from 84-86, he also finished second for the award in '81 to Julius Erving and to Moses Malone in '82 and '83. Those three years were just his second, third, and fourth years in the league after winning Rookie of the Year in 1980, so he made an incredible impact in the league from the beginning.

the 86 celtics are in my opinion the best nba team ever but at worst top 3 and definitely a top 10 team in all of sports history not just basketball. and easily one of the most fun teams to watch too there was nothing boring about them

[@johncurtis7186]

To repeat…the 1986 Celtics, were, including the playoffs, 50-1 at home. Amazing!!

[@venetoaward]

Dennis Johnson sadly passed away very young (50 or something) before he could make his way into the hall of fame. He and Bird had a special connection, I suggest this short video reaction which is really beautiful: Dennis Johnson to Larry Bird Tribute - On-Court Chemistry (The Secret Play) Book of Basketball On the same channel there are also another video on Larry and one on the '86 Celtics. Top notch videos. Cheers from Venice Italy

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame officially inducted Johnson to the Hall posthumously in 2010.

in the 80's the played the best out of 5 in the first round. Two years in a row the Celtics swept the Bulls 3 games to 0. 3-0! I loved watching.

[@Pureoctane12]

Bird and his teammates didn't take games off, the guy was saying that they got bored and didn't play as hard, they took their foot off the gas and 2 or 3 games would slip through their fingers. Hard to focus on all 82 reg season games when you were that great and you were beating everyone. :)

[@victorsixtythree]

Back then the first round was best of 5 (first to win 3 games). After the first round, it was best of 7 (first to win 4 games).

[@weslennon3425]

RIP for Dennis Johnson!!!

[@cindyknudson2715]

What I know about West is he is the only player named as a game MVP who was on the losing team. I'm thinking you have to be pretty impressive to earn that. My understanding of his being the image in the logo was that it wasn't named after him or something. That image was selected as symbolic, as a nice looking logo. I recall it being a trivia question as to whether it was an actual person or a mere drawing. And then if you could name the player. I think it's a cool looking logo, timeless.

[@dextermilo4668]

Honestly I think it's 86 celts. Them 96 Bulls though a very very very close second. Only 3peat MVP Bill Russel, Wilt Chamberlain, Bird! And yes please look into DJ ( Dennis Johnson) he won MVP and Championship with Seattle Sonics in late 70s. then went to the Suns. folks said he was a problem in the locker room, but he went to Boston with a bunch of selfless HOFs and the rest is history. I believe DJ (RIP) and Jeff Hornasek definitely two of the most underrated ever. It was best of 5 ONLY in the first round. That changed like late 80s somewhere in there! and yes Dominque COULD play. He had some help, but never had a lot of help and he still had Atlanta competing. It's just his dunks were so fking powerful, and over people, in the flow of a game. for people that didn't know all they see is the high flying, but he was a tough tough competitor. I was lucky enough to watch him and bird go at it on numerous occasions!

[@rodciferri9626]

"Y'all didn't tell me about this..." The Ralph Sampson fight was just one of many back then - they weren't all that uncommon - so we didn't tell you about it. Then, there was the time the Celtics vowed to not let the Lakers into the paint and McHale brutally tackled Rambis with the clothes-line around the neck when he was breaking to the hoop!

[@JasmineTVworld]

Dang that’s crazy !

[@rodciferri9626]

@@JasmineTVworld It was nuts - but, when we were watching, we didn't know they had resolved that no one would get in the paint - even if they had to be tackled.

Well, they fixed that problem the next game - LOL!

Without a doubt, the 86 Celtics were the best team of all time! I’m 71 and I watched the Celtics all through the 80s. Never ever be another team like the Celtics in the 80s, and never will there be another Bird. Larry was so talented, he could do anything. We still love you Birdie!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Game 6 in the 1986 finals was Larry’s perfect game. You have to watch it. The team was built organically from drafts, trades and brilliant additions. You heard how Walton called Red and you might know that Danny was playing baseball in Toronto (for the Blue Jays) and the Celtics bought his contract. I am a Celtics fan so I think they played an elevated style and I would call them the best team☘️ I think the current Celtics team are getting close to a championship. They are very resilient but a little young and inconsistent.

[@Casey4765]

[@marykuettner752]

Yeah Sampson was terrified according to his teammates. Boston fans were so angry he beat Sichting like that. They screamed at him the entire game.

[@michaeldavidfigures9842]

No NBA fan should ever take Dennis Johnson for granted. After being overlooked for more than two decades Dennis was finally inducted into the HOF in 2010. It is a damn shame Dennis didn't live long enough to attend his own induction. A gross miscarriage of justice.

[@YesMyTatsAreReal]

When you consider that with Bird, McHale, Parish and Johnson they had four Hall of Famers in the starting five and another Hall of Famer and former league MVP in Bill Walton as sixth man, they compiled the best season home record in NBA history at 50-1, went 82-18 overall including the playoffs and won the title, they make a pretty solid case for being the best NBA team ever.

[@marykuettner752]

Nique was that guy. He was a great player. He had surgery in 92 or probably would have been on the Dream Team.

[@petemantx7463]

The genius of this team was Red Auerbach who assembled them. The only one that asked to come to Boston was Walton and he was down to his last chance at landing with any team so he was Auerbach's greatest find of all. Drafting Bird while still a Jr. in college and knowing he wouldn't play the next year was again a sign of how he built a team for the long haul. This was a super team for in their day there were none better. Lakers were lucky that they had few injuries to their main stars but Bird played big time hurt and McHale and Walton had major foot problems. Look at the bench of the Celtics during this period and all were also team players so that they had quality coming in whoever was being substituted because they knew their individual roles and filled that role for the team. These Celtic teams personified how a team should play to maximize the skills of all 5 players on the court at all times. Most people don't realize that Bird consciously passed up shots for others if he felt they hadn't been involved enough in the play so far in the game. Now go to the other major stars of Jordan, Bryant, and James and how often did they sacrifice their own stats for the team; not much but Bird was only team oriented. I am so thankful I got to watch these teams play while I was young enough to appreciate what they brought to the game.

[@alanela6761]

A playoff between this team and the 98 bulls would be incredible, and i would not bet on who'd win that series. I don't think any other nba team could beat them. Today's celtics are much like the rest of today's league. No heart, not that smart, they don't play to their individual strengths, until halfway through this season when someone finally managed to convince Marcus Smart that he is absolutely NOT the shooter that he thinks he is and needs to play defense and facilitate his teammates. Once he started doing that, they started beating everybody. Right up until game 4 of the finals. With 4 min left in game 4, they puked on themselves, gave up a 5 pt lead in the game, and a likely 3-1 lead in the series and then proceeded to choke away a finals that they absolutely should have won. The warriors did not play great in the finals, and luckily for them, the celtics (especially tatum) played worse.... That's one opinion for you, and it's mine

West is fine as the logo. It really doesn’t matter. West deserves it just as anyone else does.. Wilkins was a great all around scorer. He was like Vince carter. Carter was known for dunking but anyone who watched him knew he could score from everywhere. Dominique was the same. A monster scorer in his prime. Dennis Johnson was fmvp on the Seattle SuperSonics that won a title in the 70s and then went to Boston and was great as well. Sidney moncrief is a hofer. He was a guard and was the first player to win dpoy. He won it twice in a row.

Also about Bill Walton in his on words: "I was born with structural congenital birth defects in my feet. I tore up my knee when I was 14. I broke my spine when I was 21 playing for UCLA.” Walton's first two seasons in Portland were marred by chronic foot injuries. In addition, during his first two years, Walton badly sprained an ankle, broke his left wrist twice, dislocated two toes, dislocated two fingers, broke a toe and injured his leg in a jeep accident.

[@user-uw7yb3vc5v]

Yes I do think 1986 team were one of the greatest teams ever. They all worked as a team because Larry worked as a team. Larry also made defensive teams. Larry was very unselfish and always passed the ball to his teammates. Parish said he got 5000 points from Larry. He also said he liked how bird led by example. As far as super team all their guys were either drafted or by trade. Watch more videos about Larry. There were no rest games unless you were injured . You should watch 4 crazy stories that proves Larry bird was the toughest nba player. Larry bird was able to step up his game to that next gear especially in clutch time. He was one steal away from a quadruple double with 9 steals. That was only in the third quarter. he took himself out of the game because they had a big lead. He said they did enough damage. He wasn't about padding his stats. He was always about winning the game you'll see great reaction enjoyed it.

It was 3 of 5 in the first round. After that 4 of 7. It was a super team, but the players did not select it by choosing to play on it. One of the greatest basketball minds of all time, Red Auerbach, put it all together. Imagine making a number one draft pick out of someone who you knew was going to stay in college one more year today? You'd be selling hotdogs in the stands. That's what Red did with Bird though.

[@davidconley6267]

When you were talking about Dennis Johnson and never heard of him and you love defense, it's because you are young. The pussification of the game nowadays does not allow for the physicality that promotes great defense. Most players are flopping and crying now. Today's players with their fragility could not have played before 2000. I like your open mind and willingness to learn the history.

As a Celtic fan, I will leave it to others to opine on whether the 86 team was the greatest team of all time. I will say, they seemed like the greatest team I have have seen of the Celtics!

[@patmuldoon9369]

It's funny because some of the ways they took their foot off the gas are not what you would expect. They would have assist contests, shooting contests, Bird once bet the Knicks trainer he would bank in a 3 pointer, McHale and Bird once kept trying get Ainge fouled so he could a miss a foul shot when he had a streak going. They were so good they got bored.

[@silentios7336]

Is the best team of all time? , That's hard to say since i think the best team that ever stood on a court was the Dream Team, but they would come in for a close second with the Lakers. Would i call them a 'Super Team" , YES, they were one of the best teams during the 80's, but so were the Lakers. And to answer your last question, there never has been a Celtics team better then the '86 team. Too be honest i think the NBA now is getting into a state of the pre '80's league. Personally i stopped watching NBA after Kobe died. The league never recovered from that loss. If i watch it now it just looks like a 3 point contest with no fundamentals. These are just my bits. Bonus to you: Keep up the nice reaction videos! 😉

[@cindyknudson2715]

They weren't a "super team" in the Lebron James sense of the term tho. They weren't created like his teams were good players decide to play together to collect rings rather than competing against each other to test / prove themselves. The 86 Celtics were grown organically. Red Auerbach knew what he was doing. They coalesced, with the influence of Bird, into a truly unselfish team with a common goal.

[@marykuettner752]

As for the logo, it was supposed to be just a symbol. At the time most players were white so it was just supposed to be a generic white player. Nobody voted and it wasn't considered a big deal until later. Actually the Celtics were the first team with five black starters. Bill Russell was the NBA first Black head coach.

[@aramhamparian9641]

I don't know if they're the best, but they are in the conversation. I have no issues with West as the logo. People have no idea what a great player he was on both sides of the ball. The thing about Bird was his leadership. He didn't back down in crunch time. He wanted the ball in his hands if they had a chance to win. He was fearless. I think this team would easily win 73-75 games in today's NBA.

[@JasmineTVworld]

Definitely agree!!

[@danoriordan8044]

Yes they were the greatest team in my opinion

[@gdasher]

Domonique Wilkins was a career 24.8 pts 6.7 reb & 2.5 assiist player so you could say he was definitely that guy. Playing in Atlanta he didn't have a lot of help though.

[@busterkeaton1001]

They definitely have a case as best team ever because they were flexible. They were a great fast break team. Possibly the best passing team ever and they had some of the best feel for the game as team. It was like after several years of Bird in Boston the whole team played liked him. EVERY one was eager to pass. nobody cared about THEIR numbers. The defense tended to get BETTER when Walton came in and Parish was no slouch, but Walton was an amazing position defense player. They had two long shooters come off the bench so if you tried to double Bird or McHale they could space and rain down from outside. And it was Bird's best all around season.

[@allaneisner4729]

In the early playoff round it was three out of five, but in the Conference Finals and Championship round it was 4 out of 7, I believe.

That team today would eviscerate today's NBA. My opinion of course but the passing, hustle, shooting, size, they would just dominate. You can't beat that type of hustle/speed and passing. If you watch games from 86, and physicality as well (not today), it was great to watch.

I have to compliment you on your timely comments and assessments!

[@neptunevinyl]

The NBA logo is NOT Jerry West. Its a silhouette of someone dribbling a ball. I understand that the person who designed the logo says that he got the inspiration from a Jerry West picture. But the logo doesnt even match the picture from which the inspiration comes from. The logo and picture have similarities but theres also many differences. And you can actually find pictures of almost any player which have the same appearance of the logo. Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, Elgin Baylor, Bob Cousey, Oscar Robertson and many more, all can be seen in pictures looking exactly like the NBA logo. So if the designer never said it was Jerry West.....nobody would be saying its Jerry West. The silhouette is typical of any player dribbling and driving to the basket. If the silhouette was an exact replica of the picture of Jerry West, then obviously it should be said that Jerry West is the logo. But creating a silhouette similar to, but not even close to being an exact replica of a picture of Jerry West, doesnt make it a Jerry West logo....especially when the silhouette has more in common with a few of the players listed above. Until the NBA confirms its Jerry West......its not Jerry West. And the narrative could change overnight if a handful of people would just start saying that the logo is actually a silhouette of Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robertson or Earl Monroe!!

I would never say this team would be the best team ever, because this wouldn’t be possible if Larry Bird wasn’t there, Bird pushed these players to actually perform above and beyond while not getting sunk by Bird unmatchable raw skills and also the clutch KING. Chicago Bulls on the hand, have several years to choose which year was their strongest, because unlike Bird, MJ had few flaws and the team actually works as a whole.

I wouldn't call them a super team - in my own understanding of the term. Walton and DJ were reclaimation projects. Ainge was just a guesswork trial -- he had been playing baseball for the Toronto Jays. McHale was elevated from a couple years on the bench, getting mentored by Cedric Maxwell. My perception of "super teams" is when stars hook up to form a dream team.

Unstated in this video is that the Eastern Conference was LOADED with great players and teams. It was always much harder to "get out of the East" in the plaoffs at that time than getting out of the West (i. e. Lakers had nobody usually that could beat them).

Jerry West was first NBA logo. First guy to lead the NBA in scoring most times til when they made the logo

Dennis Johnson and David Thirdkill at Phoenix for 1 year. Bill Walton had both feet injuries on&off foot injuries. Walton was best Centre passer ever.

1st round was best of 5 back then then best of 7 and Wilkens Top 50 player all time... he was a beast....... Best team all time... that's hard... there's a couple bulls teams and a couple Detroit teams and a couple Lakers teams I'd argue.... but they are in the conversation for sure.... hard to pick a best .. I say enjoy each for what they were!

Sichting and Parish we're together 1 year at Golden St. David Thirdkill one year w/ Phoenix. Rick Carlisle was no.2 player (21pts) at U. Virginia to Ralph Sampson. Jim Peterson (Rockets) was w/ McHale at U. Minnesota.
