The Celtics are based in Boston, Massachusetts. They play in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. The franchise's seventeen championships are the most for any NBA franchise, which makes the Celtics the most successful franchise to date in the major four traditional North American professional sports. They dominated the league during the late 1950s and through the mid-1980s, winning eleven championships in thirteen years and eight in a row (1959–1966). The Celtics have met the Lakers a record twelve times in the Finals, including their most recent appearances in 2008 and 2010. Their mascot 'Lucky the Leprechaun' is a nod to the team's Irish heritage and to Boston's historically large Irish population.
