5 Incredible Celtics Records That Will Probably Never Be Broken
The Celtics have been setting records for 80 years. These five are among the toughest to break.
Boston Celtics boast numerous impressive records that are likely to remain unchallenged. First and foremost, Bill Russell's 11 championships stand as an unbeatable NBA record; prior to him, no other player amassed more than seven. This remarkable feat is further exemplified by his astonishing 21,620 rebounds over a 13-year career, setting the highest rebounding total in both Celtics and NBA history.
Additionally, Bob Cousy's astonishing 28 assists in a single game in 1959 ties for the third-most assists ever recorded in NBA history, only surpassed by Kevin Porter of the Nets and Scott Skiles of the Magic. The Celtics also hold the remarkable 40-1 home record, achieved during the 1985-86 season when they only lost one home game against a Portland Trail Blazers team that finished below .500.
Finally, Jayson Tatum's 60-point, 32-point comeback performance against the San Antonio Spurs in 2021 set a franchise record and remains the third-largest comeback in NBA history.
