18X Boston Celtics! ☘️🏆💚

[@landengallahar6095]

This team is my team! I remember when Tatum was drafted by the Celtics in 2017. Brad Stevens was still the head coach and is now in the front office. This group together has been so valuable! Tatum came into the league with a soon to be dawg in JB, have had highs and lows, to the point Joe Mazulla became our head coach. Joe is the final piece along with porzingas and holiday that we needed! Joe’s faith in God and Jesus, is the reason this Celtics team knew their purpose and their mission. Love this team! Celtics era is just beginning, praise the Lord and Let’s go Celtics🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@PatrioticCeltic]

As a Celtics fan, I will never forget this historic/incredible season. Its a little sad to see it end, but at the end of the day, I sure am happy my boys won it all! This team is speacial. As long as this group is together, there will be more Championships headed to Boston in the near future! 🍀🏆

Been a dolphins and Illinois fan my whole life being from central IL. But also a Celtics fan. I don’t remember the celts championship in ‘08. So getting to watch them win the title with my dad after years of disappointment from the dolphins and Illinois, and watching Boston get so close for years, was so special. Watching the C’s with two stars in Tatum and brown for years, while hearing trade rumors, win it all was sweeter than anything. No one has deserved a title more than this Celtics team
