The Boston Celtics are on top of the NBA world, and they once again reign supreme over basketball hierarchy.
Monday's win over the Dallas Mavericks gave the Celtics an 18th NBA championship in franchise history, putting them in unprecedented territory when it comes to league history. Even though it's Boston's first NBA championship since 2008, it has spent the majority of its existence as one of the league's premier franchises with its storied history. What's more impressive is Boston has more titles than 22 teams combined.
With Boston basking in glory again, here's which teams have the most titles in NBA history and how many championships every team has:
