Wow…what an awesome night! When I first became aware of basketball in the mid 80′s, before Michael Jordan took over the 90′s, it was all about the Celtics and the Lakers. Bird vs Magic. Being a tall, gangly, white dude I was of course a Boston Celtics fan. I cannot believe that after all of this time, they have won another Championship finally.

The story is so incredible…big trades bring in hungry superstars who have never won a Championship before and may be on the decline of their careers (Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen). The player who has been with the Celtics his entire career and was their only star plays the series of his life (Paul Pierce). A group of young unknowns such as Rajon Rondo, Eddie House, Leon Powe, and a few veterans brought in late such as PJ Brown contribute at needed times.

This was a great example of team basketball and it was wonderful to be able to watch.
