What is the story behind the Boston Celtics 2008 NBA Championship?
What is the story behind the Boston Celtics 2008 NBA Championship? Led by a trio of future Hall of Fame stars in small forward Paul Pierce, power forward Kevin Garnett, and shooting guard Ray Allen with floor general Rajon Rondo and big man Kendrick Perkins, the so-called 'Ubuntu' era Celtics came together almost out of nowhere in the summer of 2007 under the organization of then-Boston President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge.
So how did this legendary Celtics squad actually end up coming together? The folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip telling the tale for a new generation of Boston fans -- or reminding us old farts of the magic of that era.

Boston Celtics Finalize Sale to Bill Chisholm: 'Coming in 2nd Is Not Acceptable'
The Boston Celtics have a new owner, and there's one thing that isn't going to change at the NBA's most-decorated franchise. "Coming in second is not the objective, and it's not acceptable," private equity mogul Bill Chisholm said Tuesday after taking control of the team from Wyc Grousbeck. "The ultimate yardstick is winning championships. Wyc's got two, and we're going to get more, and he and I together are going to help drive that." Chisholm leads a group that bid $6.1 billion for the Celtics — a record price for an American professional sports franchise. The NBA unanimously approved the deal last week, and all that was left was for the money to change hands on Tuesday. "We are committed to building on the legacy of the Celtics and raising banners," Chisholm said. "And I can't wait for the team to get back out there this fall." A Massachusetts native, Chisholm said his earliest Celtics memories are of the Dave Cowens, JoJo White and John Havlicek teams that won two NBA titles in the 1970s, but he really fell hard for the teams with Larry Bird, Robert Parish and Kevin McHale that added three more banners to the Boston Garden rafters in the '80s. "I became a rabid fan during the Bird, McHale, Parish era. That was my team," Chisholm said in an interview with The Associated Press shortly after the deal was finalized. "How can you be a teenager in Massachusetts, or New England, with that group and not end up being a lifelong Celtics fan?" The team was put on the market last summer, soon after Tatum and Brown vanquished the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA finals. Chisholm won the bidding in March and leads a group that now has majority ownership control of the team, with full control coming by 2028 at a price that could bring the total value to $7.3 billion. That's the highest price ever paid for a team in the four major North American sports, though a piece of the Los Angeles Lakers changed hands this summer at a price that would value the entire franchise at $10 billion. Other investors include Aditya Mittal, Bruce Beal, Andrew Bialecki, Dom Ferrante, Rob Hale, Mario Ho and Ian Loring. Sixth Street is also a "major participant" in the investment group, the team said in a news release. Grousbeck and co-owner Steve Pagliuca led a group that bought the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million and presided over an era in which the Celtics won two NBA titles, lost in the finals two other times and made the playoffs in 20 of 23 seasons. The team's most recent title came in 2024, led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Team president Rich Gotham, general manager Brad Stevens and coach Joe Mazzulla are all expected to remain in their positions. Chisholm will represent the team in league matters as governor, with Grousbeck staying on as co-owner, CEO and alternate governor to run the day-to-day operations alongside Chisholm. "We've got a really solid core to the roster. We've got, I think, the best basketball people that there are. And we've got a really talented business operations team," Chisholm said. "And then we've got a leader like Wyc. I mean, why would you go make major changes to that? "I think there are things we can always improve on," he said. "But that is a really, really good place to start." Grousbeck said he can already tell that Chisholm understands the significance of owning one of the NBA's charter franchises, with its unmatched 18 championships and a history of Hall of Famers from Red Auerbach, Bob Cousy and Bill Russell to Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. "It's an unbelievable responsibility, and an unbelievable thrill," Grousbeck said. "But it's a huge challenge because the greats built it. And we're just here trying to maintain the legacy, which is a great honor." Chisholm takes over the team in a bit of a transition just two seasons after its latest title. Tatum is recovering from surgery to repair the ruptured right Achilles tendon injury he suffered in Boston's Eastern Conference semifinal loss to the New York Knicks, dooming the Celtics' hopes of a repeat. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis — key parts of the title-winning team — were traded to avoid the NBA's punitive second apron payroll tax. Another key player, Al Horford – who came off of the bench or subbed in for the oft-injured Porzingis the past two years – remains a free agent. Grousbeck said the days of outspending opponents to win championships are over. "We had our two years at supermax, 100 mph, and now you take a year to reset a little bit, which every team will be doing," Grousbeck said. "And we'll be back. We're coming back as hard as we can."

Top 10 College Football Wide Receivers in 2025: Jeremiah Smith, Ryan Williams Lead List
College Football Top 10 College Football Wide Receivers in 2025: Jeremiah Smith, Ryan Williams Lead List Updated Aug. 19, 2025 3:46 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link FOX Sports Research College football has seen some of the most dominant offensive players over the last decade, with several quarterbacks and running backs coming to mind. However, the wide receiver position has been a supremely talented one in more recent years. From players like Travis Hunter at Colorado to Tetairoa McMillan at Arizona just this past season, there have been several future NFL superstars to emerge after dominating at the collegiate level. With so many incredible players at the position this year, FOX Sports Research ranked the top 10 wide receivers ahead of the 2025 season. Let's take a look: 2025 Top College Football Wide Receivers Carnell Tate is entering his junior season at Ohio State. (Photo by Robin Alam/) Tate has been a steady force in Ohio State's passing attack over his two seasons in Columbus. Just last season, the former five-star recruit totaled 52 receptions for 733 yards, 14.1 yards per reception and four touchdowns en route to helping the Buckeyes win the National Championship. ADVERTISEMENT Denzel Boston led Washington with nine receiving touchdowns in 2024. (Photo by) After red-shirting in 2022 and receiving minimal reps in 2023, Boston came on the scene in a big way for the Huskies in 2024. He totaled 63 receptions for 834 yards, 13.2 yards per reception and a team-high nine touchdowns. With Giles Jackson off to the NFL, the 6-foot-4 Boston projects to be Washington's No. 1 receiver next season. Elijah Sarrett is entering his second season at Indiana. (Photo by James Black/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Sarratt transferred from James Madison to Indiana for the 2024 season, following his head coach, Curt Cignetti, and several other James Madison teammates to Bloomington. After a standout 2023 season at James Madison, Sarrett picked up where he left off, totaling 53 receptions for 957 yards and eight touchdowns for Indiana in 2024; all three outputs led the Hoosiers, who finished 11-2 and earned a spot in the College Football Playoff. Makai Lemon was a five-star recruit. (Photo by) After getting minimal playing time in 2023, Lemon made the most of his prominent role in USC's offense in 2024. In a season that saw the Trojans switch quarterbacks, Lemon still managed to come down with 52 receptions for 764 yards (14.7 yards per reception) and three touchdowns. Lemon, a former five-star recruit, led USC in both receptions and receiving yards and projects to be its top receiver in 2025. Cam Coleman got considerable playing time in his 2024 freshman campaign. (Photo by) Most freshman rarely, if ever, see the field, but Coleman went against the tide in his freshman season at Auburn in 2024. The former five-star recruit tallied 37 receptions for 598 yards at 16.2 yards per reception with eight touchdowns, serving as a bright spot in a dark 5-7 season for the Tigers. In the penultimate week of the regular season, Auburn upset then-No. 15 Texas A&M, with the 6-foot-3 Coleman reeling in seven receptions for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the overtime win. 5. Auburn WR Eric Singleton Jr. Eric Singleton Jr. spent the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Georgia Tech. (Photo by David J. Griffin/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Joining Coleman in Auburn's wide receiver room next season is Singleton, who spent the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Georgia Tech in 2023 and 2024. Across those two seasons, Singleton averaged 52 receptions for 734 yards and 4.5 touchdowns per season. Singleton has also provided a boost in the running game, as he got the call on the run 21 times for 131 yards and one touchdown in 2024. Antonio Williams led the ACC with 11 receiving touchdowns in 2024. (Photo by) After a pair of effective 2022 and 2023 seasons, Williams emerged as an integral part of Clemson's offense in his junior season, reeling in 75 receptions for 904 yards and an ACC-high 11 touchdowns, with all three totals leading the Tigers in 2024. Williams also had seven carries for 101 yards and one touchdown. Williams broke the ice in Clemson's first-round playoff matchup against Texas, taking a Cade Klubnik pass 22 yards into the end zone for the game's first score. (Despite all that, the Longhorns went on to win the game.) Jordyn Tyson began his college career at Colorado. (Photo by) Tyson's collegiate career has been a bumpy one, as a respectable 2022 campaign at Colorado was cut short by a knee injury. That injury then limited Tyson in his first season at Arizona State, with him not recording a reception in 2023. Then, he got back on the field and took over. In 2024, Tyson totaled 75 receptions for 1,101 yards (14.7 yards per reception) with 10 touchdowns, all three totals leading the Sun Devils in a season that saw them win the Big 12 and earn a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. Unfortunately, Tyson, who had five 100-yard performances, suffered a broken collarbone in the final week of the regular season, ending his junior campaign. Ryan Williams led Alabama in both receiving yards and receiving touchdowns as a freshman. (Photo by Aric Becker/) Williams flashed speed in his 2024 freshman season at Alabama. One might say it looked like Dash from "The Incredibles" was lining up on the outside for the Crimson Tide. Williams racked up 48 receptions at 18 yards per for 865 yards and eight touchdowns, with the last two totals leading Alabama; he also logged two rushing scores. In fact, the first two catches of Williams' career were touchdowns, as he had two receptions for 139 yards and two scores in Week 1. One month later, he had six receptions for 177 yards and one score, a go-ahead, 75-yard touchdown with 2:18 remaining in the game, in Alabama's dramatic win over Georgia. 1. Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith Jeremiah Smith led the Big Ten in both receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in his freshman season. (Photo by) There are great freshman seasons, and then there's what Smith did at Ohio State last year. In a campaign capped off by the Buckeyes winning the National Championship, Smith totaled 76 receptions for 1,315 yards – 17.3 yards per reception – and 15 touchdowns. Smith's yard and touchdown totals each led the Big Ten. Arguably, Smith's best performance came in Ohio State's quarterfinal round victory over Oregon in the College Football Playoff, as the star receiver totaled seven receptions for 187 yards and two scores. The No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2024 reeled in the most pivotal pass of the season for Ohio State, coming down with a 56-yard pass on third-and-11 at the two-minute warning of the National Championship, helping the Buckeyes get in position to later kick a field goal and go up two scores, which would be enough for them to finish off the victory. Honorable mention: 2025 Heisman Trophy odds: Arch Manning, Texas: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total) Garrett Nussmeier, LSU: +850 (bet $10 to win $95 total) Cade Klubnik, Clemson: +950 (bet $10 to win $105 total) Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total) LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total) Julian Sayin, Ohio State: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total) Drew Allar, Penn State: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total) DJ Lagway, Florida: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total) Dante Moore, Oregon: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total) John Mateer (Oklahoma): +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total) Sam Leavitt (Arizona State): +2800 (bet $10 to win $290 total) Carson Beck, Miami:+3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total) Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Tyrann Mathieu, Derek Carr headline YouTube's Week 1 NFL broadcast team
It hasn't taken long for Tyrann Mathieu to find a new gig in the media after announcing his retirement. The former New Orleans Saints safety is working as a studio analyst for YouTube, which is broadcasting this year's season-opening Friday night game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. CT on Friday, Sept. 5. Back in Los Angeles, YouTube will be featuring Mathieu among several other retired NFL players as studio analysts on the pregame show an hour before kickoff, which has a surprising number of connections to the black and gold. One of the studio analysts will be recently-retired quarterback Derek Carr. The two former Saints captains will be joined by longtime Saints rival Cam Newton, wide receiver Brandon Marshall (who spent a month on their roster after Dez Bryant's injury in 2018), with noted Saints fan Kay Adams hosting the panel alongside YouTube fantasy football analyst Peter Overzet. The pregame show will be broadcast on the NFL's official YouTube page. So we'll be tuning in to see what they all have to say. A number of former Saints players are busy working in the media these days, ranging from Roman Harper and Benjamin Watson (on the SEC Network) to Mark Ingram II and Jonathan Vilma (on Fox Sports) and Drew Brees (who will call a game for Netflix in this year's three-game Christmas Day slate), among others.
