Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky, in true Celtic Pride, was lucky enough to be at the Celtics game on Monday at the TD Garden when they won their 18th Championship. “It was very emotional,” Novoselsky said on Tuesday. “It was my first Celtics championship Final game – it was so exciting.”
Novoselsky said it was a great season capped off with an exciting win. “I have a full season ticket package,” Novoselsky said. “I went to 41 games plus all the home playoff games.”
For his seats, the ticket was more than $400 each for the Finals.
Councillor-at-Large Juan Jaramillo filed a resolution congratulating the Boston Celtics on winning the NBA Championship on Monday, June 17, 2024. He cheered on the Celtics from nearby Canal Street with his Revere friends.
After winning 64 games during the regular season, the Celtics won an NBA record 18th Championship by defeating the Dallas Mavericks, 106-88. The Celtics won the best of seven series at home this past Monday after having dropped only one game in Dallas on Friday.
“I am so proud of this team,” Jaramillo said early Tuesday. “They are an inspiration to working people here in Revere and proof that if we work together with sacrifice and hard work, we can accomplish great things.” Jaramillo added that it is also great to end the six-year championship drought the city has been facing.
The resolution also invites the Boston Celtics organization to bring the 2024 championship trophy, the Larry O’Brien trophy, to Revere for its residents to celebrate. No date has been set.
