Celtics City

I've watched the Boston Celtics since 1979 while growing up, living in PEI Canada. I got to see the 80's big three, the 08-10 big three as well as the current team play live at both gardens. I've read most Celtics books and watched most of the videos/documentaries available dating back to the founding of the club. I am absolutely loving this series. Bill Simmons is showing that he put his Celtic's 💚 into this series as the Executive Producer - well done Bill !

I expect any Celtics fan will love this series as it is hitting all the big story lines/eras from 1957- the first championship - and onwards. I can't wait for the next episode.

A marvelous series on the best sports franchise of all time and leading off with the Greatest Of All Time, Bill Russell. I watched them all, except for a few I had to listen to on radio. This series , for those who were not fans, gives you all the reasons to become a fanatic. A quarter century of the Ellay Lakers choking on Red's cigar smoke. Interviews with Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain showing how utterly devastated and broken they were because of Boston. And all the championships. Russell with a ring for every finger, both thumbs and one to wear around his neck. Bob Cousy, the Houdini of the Hardwood. My personal idol, John Havlicek Only 2 episodes in and we have yet to consider Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Dave Cowens,Dennis Johnson, Paul Pierce. So many winners and so much winning. This series shows just how easy it was to be a Celtics fan and explores just how transformative the times and the players were. Simply marvelous.

Not only am I all in, but my 8 year old son is interested as well. He's a Jason Tatum fan, but now he understands the history of the Celtics, and why I'm such a fan of the Larry Bird era, (I was born in '73.)

To me, this documentary is very well done, and very insightful, packed with things I either didn't know, had forgotten, or was just misinformed about over the years, but appreciative of nonetheless.

Red Auerbach to me is the greatest GM of any pro sport ever! The man was a visionary, and I truly believed he cared about all his players, and their families, regardless of color. Rest in peace.

I'm sorry that Bill Russell and all black athletes had and have to deal with bigotry, those people don't speak for all of us, but they taint a great city unfortunately.

I had forgotten what happened to Dee Brown(another favorite player of mine) at the bank) that burned me up!

Reliving the Len Bias and Reggie Lewis times era still seem raw sadly. What could have been.

I look forward to each episode; they're so well done, and I don't want the series to end!

PS, Chief, you don't give yourself enough credit. You're loved by Boston, trust!

Go Celts!

If you're interested in Celtics history (or league's history in general), it's a good series to watch. I'm looking forward to the next episodes. There aren't that many great documentaries about the NBA and I hope this one becomes one of them.

The first episodes will focus on Russell and 60s team (and deservedly so) so I think it's not interesting for everybody But as long as it remains historically accurate and have some new informations It's good with me.

If you're interested you can give it a chance, don't pay attention to these Fakers fans who thought it's their duty to write a bad review :)

I have watched 4 episodes. I am a neutral, not even from the US, a middle-aged guy who used to watch a bit of MJ in the 1990s. Some years back, I came back to BB for Steph and his 3-point magic. So, I don't like/dislike any team or player, barring MJ who I adore.

So, I watched The Last Dance and loved it. Surprisingly, this is even better than TLD docu, because, while TLD focused on one season and one person mainly, "Celtics City" focuses on real-life issues, and its relationship with basketball. It is a very touching series in that sense. Sports can be a great unifier and throws light on society's darker areas, but it can't rectify those issues.

This is a lovely documentary on many things Celtics and some things Boston. The title seems so apt, and in one sense, a frightening reminder about the risks of not learning from history, whether it is B. Ball or society at large.

I don't know anything about Boston, but I know just enough -- that 2024 was Celtics all the way. Has Boston caught up with the Celtics? Not sure.
