Larry Bird is one of the greatest Boston Celtics players of all time, up there with the great Bill Russell.

Jayson Tatum has […]

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is apparently still catching flak for his “greatest defender in NBA history” comment, this time from a basketball titan in Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell.

Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown usually has a diplomatic answer whenever he’s asked about his team’s struggles this season. But shortly after the Cs endured another painful 108-113 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at the TD Garden on Wednesday, the usually eloquent forward had nothing to say.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart took the saying “A-for-effort” and upped the ante in a big way on Monday evening against the New Orleans Pelicans.
