Where do the Boston Celtics fall in the most expensive team sales in NBA history? The Celtics current majority owners, Wyc and Irv Grousbeck, just elected to sell their shares to a group helmed by private equity billionaire Bill Chisholm, and that is only part of the story that has been turning heads around the league since the news broke.
The bigger element of the deal is that it made the Celtics the most expensive team purchase in the history of the NBA -- and for that matter, any team in the history of any league at an estimated $6.3 billion. What's more is the eventual value of the storied ball club could rise to as high as over $7 billion by the time the two-tiered deal is done.

Former Warriors coach Don Nelson honored with 2025 Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award
On Sunday, former Golden State Warriors head coach Don Nelson was honored with an esteemed award from the NBA community. At Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Nelson was presented with the 2025 Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award. According to the NBA, the award "honors the life of Hall of Fame coach Chuck Daly, who, over an outstanding NBA coaching career, set a standard for integrity, competitive excellence, and tireless promotion of NBA basketball." The recipient of the award is determined by a selection committee of former coaches and executives. Over 31 seasons on the sideline in the NBA, Nelson coached to the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks. Nelson is one of only two coaches in NBA history to lead three teams to at least 250 wins. Nelson was named NBA Coach of the Year three times (1983, 1985 and 1992). Advertisement Nelson spent 11 seasons as the Warriors' head coach, posting a 422-443 record, earning trips to the playoffs four times. Nelson was the architect of two memorable eras of Golden State basketball. Nelson helped form the "Run TMC" group with Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond. Nelson was also on the sidelines for Golden State's "We Believe" playoff run in 2007. Nelson used his acceptance of the award to protest the Mavericks' trade of Luka Doncic. While accepting the award, Nelson wore Doncic's latest signature shoe from Jordan as a form of protest. Nelson spent eight seasons as the coach of the Mavericks. Nelson is the third member of the Golden State Warriors to earn the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award, joining Al Attles and Rick Adelman.

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 - Ray Allen (2007-12)
Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 - Ray Allen (2007-12) The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the 27th of 31 people to wear the No. 20 jersey, Hall of Fame Boston guard alum Ray Allen. After ending his college career at UConn, Allen was picked up with the fifth overall selection of the 1996 NBA draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Merced, California native would play parts of the first seven seasons of his pro career with the Milwaukee Bucks in a draft night trade. He would also play for the Seattle SuperSonics before they dealt him to Boston in 2007. His stay with the team would span five seasons, ending when he signed with the Miami Heat. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Allen wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 16.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, winning a title in 2008.
