TD Garden filled with celebrities, Celtic legends on Opening Night originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The stars are out at TD Garden for a special night in Boston.
The Celts are raising Banner 18 to the rooftops and receiving their championship rings in a special pregame ceremony beforehand their 2024-25 regular season opener against the New York Knicks.
The C’s are celebrating their first title since 2008, and as you’d expect, several members of that 2007-08 team — including the entire “Big Three” of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen — are in attendance at TD. A garden to watch the festivities.
Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Cousy, who helped the Celtics win their first championship in 1957 and has six NBA titles to his name, is also in the house for the C’s-Knicks. Celtics principal owner Wyc Grousbeck revealed over the summer that Cousy will get his own championship ring on Tuesday nightnoting that the 96-year-old franchise icon was “instrumental in all the championships.”
In addition to those Celtic legends, a host of celebrities and professional athletes are also in the house on Tuesday. Check out the full list below.
