The 1985-1985 Boston Celtics remain the best roster in franchise history. The Larry Bird-led squad dominated the regular season, finishing with a league-best 67-15 regular season record. Their 67 wins were one shy of their best franchise finish of 68 victories in 1972-1973. Bird went on to win his third MVP trophy and led the Celtics to a historic 40-1 home record.
Alongside Bird were two incredible big men in Kevin McHale and Robert Parish, with Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge completing the starting unit. The Celtics also had the services of Bill Walton and Rick Carlisle off the bench. Head coach KC Jones took full advantage of one of the best rosters in NBA history as they marched all the way to NBA supremacy, beating the Houston Rockets in the 1986 NBA Finals in 6 games.
