How much are the Boston Celtics worth compared to the other teams in the NBA?
How much are the Boston Celtics worth compared to the other teams in the NBA? The storied ball club's current majority owners, Wyc and Irv Grousbeck, just chose to part with their shares to a group headed by private equity billionaire Bill Chisholm, and the sale made the Celtics the most expensive team purchase in the history of the league.
With the price of the Celtics coming in at about $6.3 billion for the first of two tiers of the sale and a potential valuation of as high as over $7 billion once the team is fully in new hands, it should push Boston's value up compared to their other peers in the Association -- but by how much?
The folks behind the "HoopsHype" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look. Check it out below!

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores 3,000th point of 2024-25 NBA season in Game 2 of NBA Finals
Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored his 3,000th point of the season in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, becoming the 12th player in history to reach the total in an NBA season (regular season and playoffs). Gilgeous-Alexander hit the milestone on a nine-foot pull-up jump shot to put the Thunder up 9-7 early in the first quarter. Less than a minute later, he drained a 23-foot 3-point jumper. Advertisement The reigning NBA MVP joins Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bob McAdoo, Elgin Baylor, James Harden, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Rick Barry, Shaquille O'Neal and Luka Dončić as the only players to accomplish the feat. This is the 25th time a player has reached 3,000, and Dončić was the most recent player to do it when he scored 3,005 points with the Dallas Mavericks last season. The Pacers have a 1-0 series lead heading into Game 2 on Sunday. Gilgeous-Alexander had 38 points in Oklahoma City's 111-110 Game 1 loss on Thursday. This story will be updated.

Don Nelson expresses his disappointment with Luka Doncic trade by wearing the star's shoes
OKLAHOMA CITY — Hall of Fame coach Don Nelson was not a fan of the Dallas Mavericks trading Luka Doncic — and chose his footwear for Game 2 of the NBA Finals accordingly. Nelson arrived for the news conference announcing him as the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award winner, as selected by the National Basketball Coaches Association, wearing a pair of Doncic's signature Jordan Brand sneaker. The reason: He was showing Doncic — who he calls 'my dear friend' — support. 'As a matter of fact, I want everybody to know I'm wearing Luka's shoes, his new shoes from Nike that just got on the market,' Nelson said. 'I'm wearing them in protest for the trade from Dallas. Tremendous mistake by the Dallas franchise to trade him and I want everybody to know that.' Doncic was traded by Dallas to the Los Angeles Lakers this season for Anthony Davis, a blockbuster that the entire league found stunning. Fans in Dallas were furious for months, though some of that seems to have subsided in recent weeks with the Mavericks winning draft lottery and the chance to draft Cooper Flagg No. 1 overall later this month. Nelson said his philosophy on generational players is the one that Red Auerbach taught him: Don't trade those talents. 'His philosophy was when you have a great player — Bill Russell, (John) Havlicek, Sam Jones, you name 'em — you don't lose that player,' Nelson said. 'You keep him for a lifetime. You put his number up and you honor that player. That's been my philosophy.' Nelson has deep ties to Dallas, so his reaction to the Doncic trade is understandable. He coached the Mavericks for eight seasons and his son, Donnie Nelson, was an executive with Dallas from 2005 through 2021. ___ AP NBA:

Dallas Mavericks Make Big Cooper Flagg Decision Ahead of NBA Draft
Dallas Mavericks Make Big Cooper Flagg Decision Ahead of NBA Draft originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While the NBA Finals are currently commanding most of the spotlight, the 2025 NBA draft is quickly approaching, set to take place on June 25 in Brooklyn, New York. Advertisement This year's draft lottery delivered a dramatic twist, as the Dallas Mavericks—despite making the play-in tournament and holding just a 1.8% chance—miraculously landed the No. 1 overall pick. That surprise outcome has now put Dallas in prime position to select Duke phenom Cooper Flagg, widely considered the consensus No. 1 overall pick. A versatile two-way star, Flagg has the tools to impact every facet of the game and is viewed by many as a franchise-changing talent. Now, just weeks away from draft night, the Mavericks have reportedly made a major move toward that possibility. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Dallas is set to bring in Flagg for a pre-draft visit—a strong indication that selecting him first overall is a near certainty. Cooper Flagg has been widely projected as the No. 1 pick in this year's draft class since before he even stepped on the court at Duke—and remarkably, he managed to exceed the sky-high expectations placed on him. Advertisement In his lone season with the Blue Devils, Flagg captured both the Wooden Award and the Naismith Player of the Year honors. He was also named ACC Player of the Year and ACC Freshman of the Year, leading Duke in points (19.2), rebounds (7.5), assists (4.2), steals (1.4), and blocks (1.4)—a rare and dominant all-around showing. Former Duke star forward Cooper Flagg talks to the media during the 2025 NBA Draft CombineDavid Banks-Imagn Images Although Duke fell short in the Final Four, Flagg's transition from the college season to the NBA spotlight was swift. He was in attendance for the draft lottery and admitted he was surprised to see the Mavericks land the No. 1 overall pick. Still, he acknowledged the excitement of potentially joining a roster that includes fellow former Blue Devil Dereck Lively II and star guard Kyrie Irving. Advertisement 'I saw the teams just like everybody else, but I feel like it was kind of a crazy sequence of events,' Flagg said from the NBA Draft Combine. '... I was surprised like a lot of people.' He continued, "They got a lot of really good pieces, D-Live from Duke. That's pretty cool,' Flagg said. 'I think it'll be a really good opportunity.'
