The Boston Celtics are the the most historic and decorated franchise in the NBA, with a championship legacy built by coach and title architect Red Auerbach. When Ray Allen is enshrined into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. on Friday September 7, he will be the 37th player and 42nd person with ties to the team to receive the honor. The Celtics 17 championships are the most of any organization.
In a franchise with that much history, it’s hard for a rookie to do anything that registers in the record books. Jayson Tatum, however, was no ordinary rookie.
