In a world where sports documentaries often focus solely on the game, Celtics City pushes past the basketball court and digs deep into the heart of a legacy that spans over seven decades. Directed by the talented Lauren Stowell, this HBO Sports documentary series chronicles the rise, struggles, and triumphs of one of the most storied franchises in NBA history—the Boston Celtics. From their humble beginnings to their complex relationship with the city of Boston, this nine-part series reveals not just the athletes, but the emotional stories and the societal shifts that shaped the team and its impact on America. I sat down with Lauren to discuss the powerful human element at the core of Celtics City, the challenges of balancing race and sports history, and the profound lessons we can all learn from the Celtics’ journey. Grab a seat as we dive into a conversation that goes beyond sports and into the very soul of what it means to be part of a dynasty.
