 Original Celtics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Original Celtics, no relation to the equally famous Boston Celtics, were an outstanding barnstorming professional basketball team in the 1920s.
The Original Celtics responded by so dominating the league in their first two seasons there that the league forced them to break up, and apportioned their players to the other teams.
The team's roots lay in the New York Celtics team which disbanded during World War I. In 1918, James Furey reassembled his own team around a nucleus of those truly "original" Celtics, added other players mostly from the West Side of New York City, and defiantly called his new squad the Original Celtics.

 Town Times - A review:DVD sets are holiday treat for the Celtic, Giant fan
If you are a fan of the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers or Chicago Bulls, a basketball historian, or if you happen to know a member of one or more of those groups, have we got some holiday gift-giving ideas for you.
Documentaries get things started; as two features highlight the glorious history of the Celtics from the 11-titles-in-13 seasons run of the Red Auerbach-Russell teams of the 50s and 60s, through the Bird-McHale-Parrish powerhouses of the 80s and a look into the Celtics-Lakers rivalry through the decades.
While the Bulls don't have the decades-long overflow of historical moments that the Celtics and Lakers do, they had Michael Jordan; his best moments are all there on the 15-plus hours, with all of MJ's big shots there, right up to the 1998 title-winning shot in Utah.

For his first four seasons, a time when the Celtics were rich with veteran players, Havlicek enjoyed the role of "Sixth Man," coming off the bench late in the first quarter of games to provide instant scoring at a time when other players were putting their weaker reserve players in the game.

Nonetheless, Havlicek's versatility and athletic ability was so great that he was drafted by both the National Football League's Cleveland Browns in the seventh round of the NFL draft and the Celtics in the first round of the NBA draft following his graduation from OSU in 1962.
