Boston Basketball Partners LLC, owner of the reigning NBA Champion Boston Celtics, has inked a deal to sell the team for $6.1 billion to an investor group led by William Chisholm, a lifelong Celtics fan and Boston-area native, pending a green light from the league’s Board of Governors.

If approved, this appears to be a record deal for a North American sports franchise, topping the Snyder family’s $6.05 billion sale of the NFL’s Washington Commanders to a group led by Josh Harris in 2023.

Current owners led by the Grousbeck family bought the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million. The family indicated last summer that the team was for sale shortly after it set an NBA record with its 18th championship. The Celtics are among the favorites to win the title again this June.

Wyc Grousbeck will continue in his roles of CEO and Governor overseeing team operations through the 2027-2028 season,...

A majority of the credit for such a tremendous performance at the finals is largely deserved by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, both of whom drove the team to its star-studded win. And, surprisingly enough, the determination for Tatum’s unforgettable run seems to have been driven by Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

Both teams’ journey to the finals has been anything but easy; the Celtics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games while the New York Knicks took Indiana all the way to game seven.

In this series, the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum will likely go toe-to-toe with the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton. Tatum’s ability to score from anywhere on the court and his defensive versatility will be crucial in countering Haliburton’s offensive threats.

Another critical matchup is in the paint, with Boston’s Al Horford and Indiana’s Myles Turner. Turner’s shot-blocking and rebounding skills are vital to the Pacers’ defense, while Horford’s experience and leadership...
