Detail:
Quite simply, the Boston Celtics are "the Franchise," Celtics Green is "the color," and the winking leprechaun that serves as the team's logo symbolizes five decades of NBA tradition.
A charter member of the Basketball Association of America (which evolved into the NBA), Boston flies more title banners from the rafters of its home arena than any other franchise.
When the NBA celebrated its 50th anniversary by unveiling the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history, in 1996-97, 13 were former members of the Boston Celtics. The 13 combined for 42 NBA Championships with the Celtics, 10 MVP awards, three Finals MVP awards and three Rookie of the Year awards, proving the Boston Celtics to be one of the most legendary franchises in all of sports.
