Greatest Sports Franchises: Boston Celtics
VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
The Boston Celtics are one of the most successful sports franchises of all time. Under the expert eye of Red Auerbach, the team flourished and went on to set records and win championships left, right and center. His genius brought such players as Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Robert Parish and Kevin McHale to the team. Also important in the advancement of African Americans in the NBA, the Celtics were the first to draft a black player, the first to have an all-black starting lineup and the first to have a black coach.
