Bird previously served as an executive with the Indiana Pacers, earning NBA Executive of the Year honors in 2012. Now, his sharp eye for talent and team-building returns to Boston, where he’ll look to build on the Celtics’ recent success and guide them toward banner number 19.

 

In his official statement, Bird said, “Boston is home. It’s where my heart is. I’m honored to return and help this great franchise continue its legacy.”

 

Fans across New England and beyond are already buzzing with excitement, thrilled at the prospect of Bird’s championship pedigree shaping the future.
