As Banner 18 ascended to the TD Garden rafters in October 2024, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and the Boston Celtics' reigning championship squad were in very good company. They were surrounded not only by a sell-out crowd of ardent supporters but by Celtics legends of previous eras, symbolizing the franchise's continued, unwavering commitment to greatness.
Cedric Maxwell was among the former players commemorating the achievement, and he was present as a broadcaster throughout the dominant journey to the NBA title; from the offseason shake-ups that dispatched Marcus Smart while welcoming Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, to the final buzzer against the Dallas Mavericks.
Banner Year is the definitive chronicle of the Celtics' 2023-2024 season and their quest for that long-elusive 18th championship. Through exclusive insights and firsthand accounts, Maxwell and Mike Isenberg offer a behind-the-scenes look at the dynamics that fueled the team's success, including keen observations on prominent figures such as Tatum, Brown, Al Horford, and coach Joe Mazzulla.
Boston fans will delight in this captivating account that captures the spirit of a franchise determined to rise once more.
