The Boston Celtics are four wins away from getting over the hump.
They haven’t won a championship in more than 15 years, and they have only won one ring since the Larry Bird days.
The Celtics are the overwhelming favorites to get the job done this time.
However, even if that’s the case, and after dominating their way to this stage, sports analyst Nick Wright doesn’t think a title would cement them as an all-time great team.
Talking on First Things First, Wright claimed that a title would only cement them as champions and a very good team.
Would a title cement Celtics as an all-time great team?

He thinks all-time great teams have greatness, and he hasn’t seen greatness from these teams and these players.
Truth be told, the discourse about the Celtics is getting kind of petty at this point.
Granted, they have the absolute best roster in the league and should win at this point.
But even when they win, people often overlook what they do.
They’re not to blame for the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, or Indiana Pacers’ injuries.
They’ve beaten whoever has been in front of them, and they were very dominant in the regular season as well, securing a winning record before the All-Star break.
More than that, it’s not like the Dallas Mavericks are pushovers, so beating them would prove just how good they are.
Perhaps they’re not an all-time great team, but let’s not act like they’re not a very good team.
