The Boston Celtics recently captured their 18th NBA championship after defeating the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Finals. Their victory has garnered praise from their competitors, including Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors. In a recent episode of his podcast, The Draymond Green Show, Green expressed his respect for the Celtics and their dedication to achieving their goal.
Green, who faced the Celtics in the 2022 Finals, commended Boston for their relentless pursuit of Banner 18. He highlighted how unusual it is for a team to openly announce their pursuit of a championship and applauded the Celtics for following through on their commitment. The Celtics’ impressive playoff record of 16-3 and their overall record of 80-21 for the season demonstrate their dominance on the court.
As they look ahead to defending their title next season, the challenge will be to maintain the same level of motivation and hunger. The last team to repeat as champions was Green’s Warriors in 2017 and 2018, but with a largely unchanged roster, the Celtics are poised to make a strong defense of their championship.
