## Resource

The Celtics clinched their 16th championship in 1986, defeating the Rockets in six games — the last title for Bird, Parish, and McHale until 2008. That squad was stacked with Walton, Johnson, and even young Ainge, finishing 67-15. Also marking the anniversary of Bird’s historic 1979 draft, where Boston gambled big, paying him $3.25M — the highest-paid rookie ever — to lock him up before he could return to the draft.
