Boston Celtics Win 18th NBA Championship, Jaylen Brown Named Finals MVP

The Boston Celtics celebrated their historic 18th NBA championship with a parade, highlighting their rich legacy, including being the first NBA team to draft a Black player and having the first all-Black starting five and head coach. The 2023-24 Celtics achieved success through consistency, boasting the best regular-season record (64-18) and a 16-3 playoff run, never losing consecutive games. Jaylen Brown was named Finals MVP as the Celtics dominated the Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, winning the series 4-1. Despite the Celtics' dominance, some critics found the series lackluster due to the lack of competitive drama.
