With a record 17 titles to their name, the Boston Celtics have had their share of amazing moments in the NBA finals over the decades. The Celtics’ unbelievable triple-overtime victory vs. the Phoenix Suns in Game 5 of the 1976 Finals — often referred to as ‘the greatest game ever played’ — immediately comes to mind.
As does the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history in 2008, which saw Boston overcome a 24-point deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers on their own home court as they took a 3-1 series lead. With the Celtics, there is no shortage of iconic plays one can look back on with wonder.
Another of them can be found on a recent compilation of the best NBA Finals moments in the history of the modern game put together by the folks behind the HoopFlix YouTube channel.
Be sure to check them all out in the clip embedded above, which includes one of the greatest Celtics moments on the world’s biggest stage among them.
