The turnaround has been stunning - the Celtics lack any traditional stars, and when they hired Stevens from Butler, they were supposed to be tanking.
Instead, Stevens has built a system of selfless, motion basketball that has turned a 5-foot-9 point guard in Isaiah Thomas into a dynamic scorer and turned a team of role players into one solid unit.
The NBA world has taken notice, as a former assistant-turned-head coach in college is beating NBA coaches at a level nobody expected.
Here's how Stevens has risen from an assistant making $18,000 a year collecting film to one of the best coaches in the pros.
