The Boston Celtics announced via press release Thursday a number of activities to celebrate the team in the context of the NBA’s 75th anniversary celebrations, with the Celtics being one of a handful of teams in the NBA from its inception.
Chief among the changes will be the Celtics putting their original championship banners and retired jersey numbers on display in Boston Public library. Originally hung in the old Boston Garden up until 1995, they have since been in storage for some years. Now, you can see them for yourself if you are in the area of BPL’s Central Library in Copley Square through January 30, 2022.
The team also plans their own all-time list of Celtics greats mirroring the NBA’s 75 greatest players list.
This is every player in Boston’s history who wore the Celtics’ No. 0 jersey for at least one game. https://t.co/VWaraoGZi6
