History The Celtics were formed as a team in 1946 in part of the BAA, or Basketball

Association of America. The Celtics struggled in their first year. But hiring coach Red Auerbach would change their futures.1970 season was a rebuilding year as the Celtics had their first losing record since the 1949-50 season. The first team the Celtics ever played was the NEW YORK Knicks.

Why Celtics???

Part of it is Boston's large Irish population. Since a leprechaun is Irish it’s the teams mascot. Its name is lucky the leprechaun.
