Brown and Tatum have been teammates for seven seasons and they are one of the best duos in NBA history.

Since the 2018 season, the Celtics have made the Eastern Conference finals five times (and the NBA Finals twice).

Winning the title solidifies their place among the greatest Celtics ever.

The Celtics were the first seed in the Eastern Conference with the best record in the NBA (64-18).

They defeated the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers in the first three rounds (before defeating Dallas).

The Celtics drafted Brown with the third pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, and they selected Tatum (also with the third pick) just one year later.
