The 1986 Boston Celtics might be the best NBA team of all time, but they probably weren’t the subject of best rappers of even that year. How do we know this, asks you, dear reader? We actually have the receipts, given that roster full of Hall of Fame stars saw a rap song made about them, as was often the fashion back in that era of the league.
An homage to Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, Danny Ainge, Luke Walton, and the rest of the ’86 Celtics, the track is a snapshot of that halcyon era of Boston basketball fandom.
The folks behind the “NBC Sports Boston” YouTube channel put together a clip of the track for us to enjoy in the present. Check it out below!
