==1946–1956: The building of a dynasty==
The Celtics were formed in 1946 as a team in the Basketball Association of America, and became part of the National Basketball Association after the merger of the BAA and the National Basketball League to form the NBA in the fall of 1949.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Celtics Related Books )〕 In 1950, the Celtics became the first franchise to draft an African American player, signing Chuck Cooper.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Earl Lloyd – First Black Coach )
The Celtics had struggled during their early years, but the hiring of Coach Red Auerbach would change their fortunes. One of the first major players to join the Celtics was Bob Cousy, whom Auerbach initially refused to draft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Boston Celtics Tickets, Cheap Boston Celtics Tickets )〕 Cousy eventually became the property of the Chicago Stags.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bob Cousy Biography )〕 When that franchise went bankrupt, Cousy was acquired by the Celtics in a dispersal draft.〔(The Celtics Beagle Website – FAQ and Myth-Debunking Section )〕 He would become a huge part of the Celtics' success and eventually became good friends with his new coach. Under Auerbach the Celtics improved dramatically, becoming a consistent threat to win in the NBA's Eastern Division in each of his first six seasons, although they fell short each time.
After the 1955–56 season, Auerbach made a stunning trade. He sent perennial All-Star Ed Macauley to the St. Louis Hawks along with the draft rights to Cliff Hagan in exchange for the Hawks' first round draft pick, the second overall.〔(Official Website of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame – Hall of Famers )〕 After negotiating with the Rochester Royals, Auerbach used the pick to select University of San Francisco center Bill Russell.〔(David Kamp.com – Only the Ball Was Brown )〕 Auerbach also acquired Holy Cross standout, and 1957 NBA Rookie of the Year, Tommy Heinsohn.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Recap – 1950s )〕 Russell and Heinsohn worked extraordinarily well with Cousy, and they were the players around whom Auerbach would build the Celtics for more than a decade. Russell, who delayed joining until the middle of the 1957 season in order to play for the U.S. Olympic Team,〔 had an immediate impact.
