The Boston Celtics have done it.
After an incredible season, the team managed to bring another championship home to Boston, and more importantly, make NBA history. The Celtics won their 18th banner in franchise history, officially becoming the winningest team in the league. The Los Angeles Lakers sit behind them with 17 wins.
It was truly an incredible effort from each and every player on the team, with Jaylen Brown being crowned MVP. From the work of Brad Stevens taking risks and bringing in lots of talent, combined with the coaching from Joe Mazulla, and of course Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White, and Al Horford.
Plus, we'd be remiss not to mention Payton Pritchard, who nailed a buzzer beater three from the logo right before the end of the first half. (That even prompted a reaction from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes).
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye along with linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley were at TD Garden for the game, getting to see all the action live. But plenty of other past and present players made sure to watch, and they reacted when the green and white confetti started to fall.
Here are the reactions from Patriots Nation:
Tom Brady: "Another one in Boston ☘️"
Ja'Whaun Bentley: "Tuhhh lol ☘️"
Deion Branch: "YESSIRRRRRRRRRRR LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
"YESSIR #18 AND COUNTING #AMAZING #AMAZING #CelticNation"
Kyle Van Noy: Go C’s Earned!!! So happy for @Al_Horford and @jaytatum0!! Congrats fellas!"
"The true mvps were Horford and Holiday argue with a wall!!!"

And while it's not a Patriots player, it's still pretty cool.
President Biden: "Congrats @celtics, the 2023-2024 NBA Champions and now the all-time NBA leader with 18 titles.
A true legacy of excellence."
