Boston Celtics fans can now watch the raising of their team’s 18th championship banner from an entirely new perspective.
The Celtics on Friday shared footage of a drone flying through the TD Garden entrance and into the arena as the 2023-24 banner was raised to the rafters ahead of Tuesday’s season opener against the New York Knicks.
The Celtics are the first NBA team to win 18 titles, surpassing the Los Angeles Lakers’ 17 championships for the most in league history.
Boston claimed most of those titles between 1957 and 1986, earning one more ring in 2008 before adding their most recent championship in 2024.
To celebrate the 2024 title win, the Celtics distributed championship rings to players before raising the banner at TD Garden.
The Celtics followed up the celebration by tying an NBA record with 29 three-pointers during a 132-109 win over the visiting Knicks. Three core players from the title-winning roster led the victory as Jayson Tatum scored 37 points, Derrick White contributed 24 and Jaylen Brown added 23.
Boston will now hit the road for the team’s first away game of the season in Detroit. The defending champions will be favorited to win over Cade Cunningham and the 0-1 Pistons when Game 2 of the 2024-25 season tips off Friday on 7:30 p.m. ET.
