The Boston Celtics have had a host of player duos use their personal chemistry to great success over the decades, from Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum back to Bob Cousy and Bill Russell.

Contemporary fans ought to do themselves a favor and get up to speed on how the dynamic between these two dynamos functioned to produce the two titles.
Watch the clip embedded below to hear about how these two meshed to form one of Boston’s best duos on the court, courtesy of CLNS Media’s “NBA History & Legends on CLNS” YouTube channel.
