Entertainment insider Jeff Sneider, reported on his InSneider website that The Ringer’s Bill Simmons is behind a Boston Celtics documentary being produced for Max. At this time there are not very many specifics known about the project such as a potential release date or even what the focus of the documentary will be. Sneider’s report did say Celtics legends Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish are expected to be featured.
In mid-February, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck was a guest of The Greg Hill Show on WEEI and mentioned something was in the works. “…But in terms of the Celtics, I have some positive news there,” he said. “Nothing to officially report yet, but we’re in production on a multi-part, absolutely top quality, fantastic documentary series, along the lines of hopefully The Last Dance, and so on.”
Grousbeck also told Hill a film crew has been with the Celtics throughout this season. “…The film is being filmed and archives are being gone through…It’s really exciting. And they’re following the team this whole year, so, it’s like behind the scenes. So, we’ll see what happens, but win or lose, it’ll be out.”
This year’s Celtics team is on pace to be the top seed in the Eastern Conference and is one of the favorites to win the NBA Championship.
