While we wait for the Boston Celtics to complete their quest for an NBA-record 19th championship, let’s take a look back at the path the Celtics took with star big man Kristaps Porzingis to get their last title. The Latvian center ended up having to sit for a big chunk of the middle of Boston’s run to Banner 18 due to injuries to his lower extremities.

The folks behind the “NBA Europe” YouTube channel put together a clip of KP’s contributions to the 2024 NBA title with Boston, logging every play he took part in for the run to Banner 18.
