The Boston Celtics celebrated their record-setting 18th championship at the White House on November 21, 2024, with owner Wyc Grousbeck expressing confidence in the team's potential to repeat as champions.

During the celebration, Grousbeck emphasized the emotional significance of the day, which was attended by notable figures such as Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Senator Ed Markey.

Despite the celebratory atmosphere, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla stressed the importance of focusing on future games rather than dwelling on past achievements.

Guard Derrick White, who won his first NBA title with the Celtics, expressed excitement about visiting the White House and the historical significance of the location.

The Celtics' ownership group, Boston Basketball Partners, L.L.C., has announced plans to sell a majority interest in the team, with the sale expected to close in 2024 or early 2025, and remaining ownership finalized by 2028.

President Biden, a Celtics fan, humorously acknowledged his own age while congratulating the team and received a Celtics jersey from star player Jayson Tatum.

Currently, the Celtics boast a strong 12-3 record, placing them second in the NBA, just behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, who hold a 16-1 record.

Wyc Grousbeck plans to continue running the Celtics for three more years, even as the family prepares to sell its controlling stake in the franchise.
