2011 - LeBron eliminates Boston in the 2nd round. If he didn't exist, Boston beats Miami, Chicago and the Mavs to win a ring. #18

2012 - LeBron eliminates Boston in the ECF. Boston would've gone on to beat OKC in the Finals. #19

2017 - LeBron eliminates Boston in the ECF. Celtics would've beaten the Warriors in the Finals. #20

2018 - LeBron eliminates Boston in of the ECF. They would've beaten the Warriors in the Finals #21

2020 - Jimmy Butler eliminates Boston in the ECF. Would've won against the Lakers in the Finals #22

2022 - Curry beats Boston in the Finals. If he didn't exist, Boston would've won #23

2023 - Jimmy Butler eliminates Boston in the ECF. Would've won against Denver in the Finals #24

​

The Boston Celtics would have 24 titles right now if LeBron, Curry and Butler didn't exist.

You're getting hammered, but only one Title for the Big 3 Team and none over the last several years is pretty rough. KG injury in 2009 when team was on a blistering pace. 5 minutes left 2010 game 7 Lakers, lose lead, lost Title. 5 minutes left in 2022 Finals, lose lead, tied 2-2, instead of up 3-1. Hayward injury 5 minutes into 2017 Superteam season. Tatum sprained ankle first play of game 7 this past season. Even the Bubble ECF was some really tough luck.
