After years of playoff disappointment and heartbreak, Boston tore through the league last season, winning 64 games in the regular season before cruising through the playoffs with ease, going 16-3 to claim the organization's first title since 2008.

"In a storied history that includes 23 retired jerseys," NBA commissioner Adam Silver said, "now, this special Celtics team is creating a history of its own as we enter the 79th season of the NBA."
