Even diehard Lakers fans will have a hard time resisting this documentary. I think.
You’d be forgiven for assuming Celtics City would be like most sports documentaries on TV—unremarkable and over-the-top. But in this case, Celtics City deserves to be over the top. The NBA team, perhaps more than any in the league, has such a rich history, filled with wins and losses, joys and failures, shame and impact, that it makes sense to tell their story in multiple episodes. It’s not indulgent or forced, it’s deserved. The first part alone is an expertly woven argument about how race and sports, at least in America, are inextricable. You can’t talk about the Boston Celtics without recognizing the incredible things Bill Russell has done for the team, and yet that’s what happened in the ‘50s. This smart discourse, along with the thrilling footage of past games and the exclusive interviews with Celtics members past and present make Celtics City stand out among the many, many sports docs out there.
