The Celtics City documentary series, which delves into the history of the Boston NBA franchise, has garnered attention for its in-depth interviews with past and present players, coaches, and fans. Despite featuring key figures like Bob Cousy and Jayson Tatum, notable names from rival teams such as Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas declined to participate. Executive producer Bill Simmons explained that some players are wary of being portrayed as villains in sports documentaries due to previous experiences, with Thomas mentioning his dissatisfaction with his portrayal in “The Last Dance.” Simmons, a die-hard Celtics fan, expressed his competitive drive in creating the series after learning that the Lakers were producing a similar documentary. Seven of the nine episodes of Celtics City are available to stream on HBO Max, with new episodes airing every Monday at 9 p.m. Fans can expect insights into the rich history and traditions of the Celtics franchise, as well as perspectives from those who have contributed to its legacy.
