Repeating as champions is a difficult task for any team, no matter the sport. For the Boston Celtics, who won their 18th championship in franchise history this summer over the Dallas Mavericks, they certainly have a good chance at doing so by bringing back a majority of the 2023-24 roster into 2024-25.

The Big Aristotle is skeptical that Boston will repeat as champs in 2024, and not just because winning a title under any circumstances is very, very hard. The reason, per Shaq on his semi-eponymous podcast? Because “even though they have the championship … Boston had it easy.”
