Episode #9: It's Not So Easy Being Green: The Story of the Post-Larry Bird Celtics
Description
The Celtics are recognized as one of the premier brands in the NBA. They are amongst the most iconic franchises in the sport alongside the Lakers, Bulls, Sixers, Knicks and so on. They have 17 championships to their name, tied with the Lakers for most in league history.
Yet for all the success, they’ve only won 1 championship since 1986. What happened in the post-Bird era that led to a relatively dry run of success for a franchise so accustomed to winning and winning again?
It was poor drafting, bad coaches, natural league expansion and above all some tragedy and bad luck.
Ironic for a team whose logo is the shamrock.
Join us as we look into those important events and why the Celtics found out that it’s not so easy being green. This is Once Upon a Dribble!
