Cheat Sheet
- Hall-of-Fame Legends Accuracy -
Know the Celtics' greatest players: Bill Russell's record 11 championships (1957 - 1969) and Larry Bird's three consecutive MVP seasons (1984 - 1986) define the franchise's legacy. Mnemonic: recall "RLB" (Russell, Larry Bird) to anchor these Hall of Famers in your mind (source: NBA.com).

The Celtics boast 17 NBA titles spread across four eras: 11 in the Russell dynasty (1957 - 1969), two in the 1970s (1974, '76), three in the Bird era (1981, '84, '86) and one in 2008. Mnemonic 11-2-3-1 helps you recall the ring distribution by decade (source: basketball-reference.com).

Master key stats like PPG (points per game = total points รท games played) to compare legends: Larry Bird's career average (24.3 PPG) and John Havlicek's 26,395 total points offer benchmarks (source: basketball-reference.com). Use the formula PPG=Pts/Gm as a quick recall tool.
- Parquet Palace & Home Court Edge -
The iconic parquet floor, first laid at Boston Garden in 1946 and moved to TD Garden in 1995, gave Celtics players visual cues for spacing. A simple memory trick: envision the green-and-white tile pattern forming a giant shamrock (source: Celtics official site).
- Founding & Cultural Roots -
Founded in 1946 by Walter A. Brown as one of the NBA's original eight teams, the Celtics' name and colors honor Boston's Irish heritage. Remember "46+I" (1946, Irish) to link the year and cultural origins (source: NBA.com/history).
