Maine Celtics center James Banks is no stranger to success, and this season, he and his team are making history. Fresh off an impressive nine-game winning streak—tying the longest in franchise history—Banks sat down to discuss the team’s momentum, chemistry, and aspirations for the rest of the season!
As the Celtics gear up for their next home game on March 20th, Banks emphasized the importance of fan support, especially during road games. “Having that energy from the crowd, whether we’re at home or away, makes a huge difference,” he shared. He also credited the team’s strong chemistry as a key factor in their success, drawing comparisons to last year’s championship run.
Banks’ journey has taken him across the globe, with stints in Israel, Australia, and the Euro Cup. These experiences, he says, have shaped him into the player he is today. His advice to young athletes? Stay consistent and put in the work—because nothing happens overnight.
With his sights set on surpassing last year’s success, Banks is leading with confidence and the power of positive thinking. “We believe in each other, and that’s what drives us forward,” he said.
