Sittin’ on Top of the World
Date: 1960-61 season
The Celtics leprechaun sat on top of the NBA world as the team won their third straight NBA World Championship title and fourth in five seasons in 1960-61. While this mascot looks a little odd, the familiar leprechaun with his bowler hat and shillelagh was designed by Red Auerbach’s brother, Zang.
