Celtics City

If you're interested in Celtics history (or league's history in general), it's a good series to watch. I'm looking forward to the next episodes. There aren't that many great documentaries about the NBA and I hope this one becomes one of them.

The first episodes will focus on Russell and 60s team (and deservedly so) so I think it's not interesting for everybody But as long as it remains historically accurate and have some new informations It's good with me.

If you're interested you can give it a chance, don't pay attention to these Fakers fans who thought it's their duty to write a bad review :)

I have watched 4 episodes. I am a neutral, not even from the US, a middle-aged guy who used to watch a bit of MJ in the 1990s. Some years back, I came back to BB for Steph and his 3-point magic. So, I don't like/dislike any team or player, barring MJ who I adore.

So, I watched The Last Dance and loved it. Surprisingly, this is even better than TLD docu, because, while TLD focused on one season and one person mainly, "Celtics City" focuses on real-life issues, and its relationship with basketball. It is a very touching series in that sense. Sports can be a great unifier and throws light on society's darker areas, but it can't rectify those issues.

This is a lovely documentary on many things Celtics and some things Boston. The title seems so apt, and in one sense, a frightening reminder about the risks of not learning from history, whether it is B. Ball or society at large.

I don't know anything about Boston, but I know just enough -- that 2024 was Celtics all the way. Has Boston caught up with the Celtics? Not sure.

A marvelous series on the best sports franchise of all time and leading off with the Greatest Of All Time, Bill Russell. I watched them all, except for a few I had to listen to on radio. This series , for those who were not fans, gives you all the reasons to become a fanatic. A quarter century of the Ellay Lakers choking on Red's cigar smoke. Interviews with Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain showing how utterly devastated and broken they were because of Boston. And all the championships. Russell with a ring for every finger, both thumbs and one to wear around his neck. Bob Cousy, the Houdini of the Hardwood. My personal idol, John Havlicek Only 2 episodes in and we have yet to consider Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Dave Cowens,Dennis Johnson, Paul Pierce. So many winners and so much winning. This series shows just how easy it was to be a Celtics fan and explores just how transformative the times and the players were. Simply marvelous.

The best documentary I have ever seen. Incredibly well done providing insight to one of the most fascinating sports journeys in history. The ups and downs, the good and the bad, and the strength to persevere. Bill Russell was a hero. Larry Bird was a legend. The city is flawed, but authentic and wonderful. The fans passionate like no other fan base in sport. It reminds me of the sorrow (Len Bias, Reggie Lewis), disappointment (2008 vintage and their injuries), but satisfaction (2024). The characters from Chief to Walton to Max to Rondo to Doc to Mazzulla.

Kudos to all involved - a masterpiece.
