Your 2024 Boston Celtics are NBA Champions. So of course there will be a Boston Celtics parade to celebrate the victory.
The Celtics defeated Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks in five games, clinching the title with a 106-88 Game 5 victory at TD Garden. Jayson Tatum was dominant. Jaylen Brown was named MVP. Al Horford is finally an NBA champ.
They won it all on 6/17, just like the last time they won it all in 2008. In doing so, the Celtics put an end to the second-longest Championship drought–1,962 days–since they, the Bruins, Red Sox, and Patriots all existed in 1960, so says Boston Sports Info.
