The city of Boston was filled with excitement and jubilation on Friday as the Boston Celtics celebrated their 18th NBA championship with a spectacular duck boat parade. The Celtics secured their victory after defeating the Dallas Mavericks in five games, marking their first championship since 2008 and only their second since 1986.
Leading the way for the Celtics was Jaylen Brown, who was awarded the Finals MVP title. Brown proudly carried the championship trophy throughout the parade, capturing the hearts of fans as the duck boats rolled through the city streets.
Prior to joining the fans in the festivities, the Celtics players gathered at TD Garden, where Al Horford, at 38 years old, proudly displayed his first championship ring. Horford sported a stylish cowboy hat and a "drunk Tom Brady" t-shirt, a nod to the former New England Patriots quarterback himself, who approved of the attire.
But Horford wasn't the only one dressed to impress. The players showcased their unique parade outfits and fans were buzzing about which champion rocked the best parade fit. The celebrations also featured the unveiling of the Celtics' latest NBA championship banner, a symbolic representation of their triumph.
One notable player who made a bold appearance was Derrick White, who donned a bucket hat and showed off his new set of pearly whites. White had chipped his teeth during Game 5 when he accidentally hit his head on the TD Garden floor. His infectious spirit and vibrant fashion sense added to the parade's vibrant atmosphere.
In a playful jab, Celtics fans didn't forget Mavericks star Luka Dončić's complaints about officiating during the NBA Finals. Among the crowd, a sign humorously read, "Luka would be complaining about the traffic," reminding everyone of Dončić's earlier remarks.
Boston sports fans also took a moment to reflect on their incredible era of championships, highlighting the success of the Celtics, Patriots, Boston Red Sox, and Boston Bruins. The procession served as a reminder of the city's sports dominance and appreciation for the teams that have brought countless moments of glory to Boston.
For those curious about the player's perspective, Jayson Tatum captured the view during the parade as he held tightly onto the Larry O'Brien Trophy, soaking in the atmosphere and sharing the joy with the fans. Tatum's image encapsulated the sheer elation felt by the team and the city after a hard-fought journey to their latest championship.
The Boston Celtics' duck boat parade was a testament to the team's dedication, resilience, and the unwavering support of their passionate fans. As the city celebrated their 18th NBA title, Boston once again solidified its reputation as a sports powerhouse.
