The Celtics came into being on June 6th, 1946. On that day 11 men (all of whom owned either professional hockey teams, large arenas in major cities, or both) met to discuss the formation of a new professional basketball league. They christened the new league the Basketball Association of America and modeled its season - which featured a 60-game schedule and a series of playoffs - after the National Hockey League's. The game itself was based on college basketball, but with the contests lengthened to 48 minutes rather than the 40 played in college.

A driving force behind the BAA was Celtics owner Walter Brown, who ran the Boston Garden and was part of the NHL's Boston Bruins organization. Brown hired John 'Honey' Russell as his first coach, and the Celtics' maiden home game was played on November 5th, 1946. The contest began an hour behind schedule because Boston's Chuck Connors (later the star of television series 'The Rifleman') splintered a wooden backboard with a practice dunk before the game. Boston lost to the Chicago Stags, 57-55, but the 4,329 fans in attendance not only got to see the Celtics' first-ever home game, but also witnessed the first broken backboard in professional basketball history.
