In which year was the 85-86 Man of the Year inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame?
1985–86 Boston Celtics season In 1985–86, the Boston Celtics won 67 games, going 40–1 at home (37–1 at the Boston Garden, 3–0 at the Hartford Civic Center), which would be tied 30 years later by the San Antonio Spurs in 2016, and were one win shy of tying their franchise record of 68 wins set in 1972–73. Larry Bird won his third consecutive MVP award and Bill Walton won the Sixth Man of the Year Award. McHale missed an 18-game stretch during the season due to injury, and during his absence the Celtics record was 15–3. They won their 16th championship and the last for 22 years, defeating the Houston Rockets in six games in the NBA Finals, and had won 82 combined regular season and playoff games, a record that stood until the Chicago Bulls racked up 87 combined wins en route to a title (the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors broke that record with 88 combined wins).
