Celtics fans stuck living in the 60’s

We got the Cowboys of the 90’s and they have the Celtics of the 60’s.

They are the Dallas Cowboys of the NBA, except they have some recent success. Almost all of their glory comes from an age when the game and parity/rules were much different.

The Celtics still have 6 rings after the bill russell era which is more then the mavs

Looks like their best days are behind them

13 out of the 17 were before the NBA-ABA merger so I really only count 4 of them. I realize that’s a hot take but it’s just what makes sense to me.

They won a bunch when there was only 8 teams in the league

I’d would put the latest decade at the top and the oldest decade at the bottom.

Bill Russell was still crazy good regardless of the competition – the pre-Kareem GOAT, just as Kareem was the pre-MJ GOAT – but yeah, bragging about winning a bunch of championships when there were 8 teams and 6 of them made the playoffs is nothing special. Hell, the competition remained quite poor for another decade until the late 70’s/early 80’s.

So in the last 4 decades we are tied with one chip each? A drunk friend of a friend was going on and on about how far behind the USMNT was behind England’s national team… I responded with tap the brakes chap, you are leading by ONE…

Really just 4 chips since the merger.

There’s a reason no one recognizes preSuperbowl Champions.

This is my favorite fact to point out to C’s fans. We just need the Jay bros to choke for another 3 seasons and they’ll be reaching Dallas Cowboys level of 1 championship in last 40 years 😳😳🤣🤣

9 in 10 years is fucking insane, I thought Real Madrid with 6 UCL in 10 years was nice
