It was by all accounts the longest season in Boston Celtics history, beginning in October of 2019, and ending more than a year later — and in a bubble at Walt Disney World, no less.
Our first season with point guard Kemba Walker, our last with veteran forward Gordon Hayward, and our first and last for centers Enes Kanter and Vincent Poirier, we saw the Celtics add seven rookies to the roster and somehow still compete for a title.
And on the rookie front, from Tacko Fall to Tremont Waters, we saw some high-character prospects take steps towards a lasting NBA career.
Off the court we had a four-month hiatus, and an awakening of the team and league to fight for racial equity as a condition of its restart.
Oh, and they managed to do all of this in the midst of the worst pandemic the world has seen in a hundred years.
There’s far too many memories to fit in a clip this short, but the NBA put together this supercut of all of the best plays of the Celtics from 2019-20, so before we suit up for 2020-21, take one last look back at a season to remember for the ages.
