KG is my favorite player of all time. I always tear up when he shouts anything is possible and hugging Bill Russell and telling him he got his own. Been a fan of the Celtics since. The team that helped KG get his only ring. #BigTicket
lmao what happened to Perkins? He was their best post defender and was great against Howard, Bynum, and other elite big men. Now he's just a Shaqtin' a fool regular.
KG was a legit competitive psychopath and that's what I loved about him. I've never seen anyone with more fire and passion. Some of the stories of what he did in practice and how he was so competitive they had to cancel practice is just incredible
i love how the crowd was into this game from the start. And they only got louder as the game went on. The victory was inevitable. The energy was explosive. My friends and I were jumping and celebrating after every three pointer, every steal, and every dunk. What a game to end an exciting series.
+Jason Holguin What is more original is that these fans are not wearing the same colored shirts for the playoffs, i find it DUMB when fans need to wear the same shirts like for example OKC fans, Golden State fans, and for a few years Miami fans, like your own presence and noise is just enough for a playoff game.
Year after celtics were destroying the nba and Garnett got hurt . That ruined the year and 2010 they made it back. Blew a 3-2 lead Also James posey leaving was huge. He spread the floor for rondo and pierce
Luke Molloy In 2009 Garnett got hurt. In 2010 Celtics had a 3-2 lead going into game 6, but that dirty low-life Andrew Bynum went over the top on Perkins and took him out for the rest of the series. Celtics had no center they could count on for the final game. Lakers win game 7 by a whopping 4 points.
me. this 2007-08 line up was so special to me. I am a Celtic Fan since 1980 but this team made my lousy day complete. I stopped collecting Boston memorabilia when Larry Bird retired but still following the lottery Celtics in the 90s. but I began collecting again when this New Big 3 was formed. Very Special year.
Ryan Gaffey Yeah, I'm so mad that my basketball team won the championship.. Hah, no. I'm made about 2010 game 7 yeah.. But this makes me extremely happy.
As a laker fan, one of the saddest games I watched. But huge respect to this celtics team. I enjoyed all the battles the Lakers and celtics had with these teams. I miss those days even if they weren't bright but they were still memorable
Yeah, it's shitty.. But at least the team has rebuilt itself into something pretty decent now. 4th in the eastern conference as of February 3rd. And I mean, if they were to get just one more key player like Carmelo Anthony or something.. Then they could be back in the finals in no time!
He did nba champion with the Celtics and with the Lakers. BTW Rondo is also one of my favorite players it's him and Fred vanvleet from the Toronto raptors
Fuck yeah! I choose football just a (tad) bit over hockey, and honestly don't even really like basketball or baseball.. But I gotta say.... That 2013 final really hurts even more (now) knowing that the team isn't as dominant anymore.
+jw24bostonceltics Yeah, Posey and House aren't officially on the roster. What a damn shame. But thankfully, there's custom rosters people make and I dl one that someone "player created" House and Posey and added them to the roster.
Chan Lach Oh man what. Posey was a huge part of that roster. Besides his strong shooting he was also a lockdown defender on the wing. Then again, Chris Webber wasn't on the Kings 2002 roster for one of the 2K games...
I still get chills watching these highlights. The team was so bad for so long.....I was afraid Pierce would never be rewarded for sticking with the C's through all that crap. I cried that night....tears of pure joy.
Sa karamihan ngayun sa lahat ng mga man lalaro ng basketball sa buong mundo. Ibang iba talangka si Bryant at jordan ang ganda ng mga moves. Bihira lang siguro ang maka gaya sa katulad nila bilang isang man lalaro. unique talaga ang galawan sarap panuorin paulit-ulit..❤❤❤
I actually feel pretty pissed.. Because this just reminds me of them blowing game 7 (which they were winning practically the entire time) of the 2010 finals...
Beerus - God of Destruction He stayed, and they were defeated by Miami in 2011 and 2012. By 2013, they had no shot of beating the Heat, even had Allen stayed.
Kory Green kobe was injured in 08, but still kobe manage to win 2..while labron got beaten so bad against the spurs with an average of 20 a game and only won 1 game with a bunch of superstars on his team..lol
what a finals run for those celtics rondo, allen,pierce, garnett and what a series it was what a team they had this team should've at least win one or two more championships
Been the best NBA finals match up between the Lakers and Celtics. Lakers and Celtics rosters has been strong. So far I am watching more Kobe and Ray both shooting 3=point shots. It's too amazing. Rondo making amazing passes.
It's pretty cool that out of all main four sports, NFL,NBA,MLB,NHL Boston owns three of the best rivalrys in each sport... Just realized that. Bruins-Candiens, Celtics-lakers, Red Sox-Yankees.....
***** Yeah but only for like, last 5 years in the playoffs man.. It's normally the Ravens and steelers who are a big time football rivalry. But I'm talking like all time.
***** Very true. It's shitty that the Bears haven't really been able to make it one for a long ass time though. And Alex, I'm talking "all time" man.. The biggest rivalry RIGHT NOW is probably the Steelers and Ravens yeah. Playoff wise.. I'd say as of the last 4 or 5 years are the Pats and Ravens, but ever since Brady and Manning have been around the Colts and Pats. That's playoffs. All time though (Packers-Bears, Canadiens-Bruins, Celtics-Lakers, and Red Sox-Yankees) 4 main sport rivalrys.
***** Yeah but no offense, that really has nothing to do with the rivalry between them and the Packers though.. but '85 is when they beat the Pats yeah. I actually own a real patriots 1985 AFC championship ring.
Hi everyone , 12 years ago I start watch this game to know who is Kobe Bryant . He is so amazing in NBA basketball legend . So sad after lose this game when I saw in TV. And more sad is unexpected after 12 years ago .the year 2020 he left us . R I P KOBE MAMBA
you are right. But sad to say they got only 1 Championship. They can get 2 or 3 Title if they had a very good coach and GM. Doc Rivers was an average coach. Look what happened to Clippers now. He was a choker.
Curry has made 400 three Ray Allen never did sorry... I agree Ray Allen is better rn but in the next ten years curry likely will emerge to be better than Ray
Man....i was like 4 years old watching this game and i kept on shouting "CELTICS CELTICS YAAAY!!!!!"......good times.....I hope Isaiah brings one to Boston
KG is my favorite player of all time. I always tear up when he shouts anything is possible and hugging Bill Russell and telling him he got his own. Been a fan of the Celtics since. The team that helped KG get his only ring.
#BigTicket
Leon Powe holding him and saying "I got you, I got you". Man did that championship felt good :')
Rondo,Allen,Pierce,Garnett,Perkins - One of the greatest starting 5s of all time
I will forever miss this team 😩😭
Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Devean George, Karl Malone and Shaquille O'Neal. We lost but still. Dream team
That starting 5 never lost a 7 game series when they were all healthy.
lmao what happened to Perkins? He was their best post defender and was great against Howard, Bynum, and other elite big men. Now he's just a Shaqtin' a fool regular.
+cb4allstar4 yeah ikr what tf happened to him
Rajon Rondo and Trevor Ariza are the only two players from this series who haven't retired yet.

Put KG in todays lineup. They are Championship contender. KG, Tatum, Brown and Walker. Man what a lineup.
7 feet MJ

+Rene Valladares yup the lakers and the Celtics have great players
it will never be the same again what a Rivalry
How did this team only win 1 championship like damn... Pierce, Garnett, Allen, Rondo and Doc Rivers was the coach...
We shoulda won in 2010 but the refs cheated us out and had the lakers win like in 2002. We almost beat Lebron and his Heat
Year after celtics were destroying the nba and Garnett got hurt . That ruined the year and 2010 they made it back. Blew a 3-2 lead
Also James posey leaving was huge. He spread the floor for rondo and pierce

Esse trio do Boston Paul Pierce,Ray Allen e Kevin Garnet era fantástico

i cry everytime i see that kg interview gets me everytime really inspiring moment dont get no reala than that
What a legendary night. I came back here after watching Pierce's number got retired. Never forget - June 17, 2008!
Coming back to this after celtics won another ring with jt and jb. History repeats
Amazing players and the best coach. i miss the 08 celtics
Man not even a Celtics fan but when Kevin gave his Anythings Possible Roar.. It gave me chills. Pure Greatness
Man that run started with a 3. Tonight's run to put away the game also started with Sam Hauser's 3. Crazy lol 617!!!
The 2008 celtics were something very special
I miss this... :(
I don't

16 years later... celtics nba champs! 🍀🙏🏼
This is probably the best celtic lineup of all time. No regrets
I never loved a basketball team more than I loved this Celtics team, wish they never split up I was a serious fan when they had the big three
Yeah, it's shitty.. But at least the team has rebuilt itself into something pretty decent now. 4th in the eastern conference as of February 3rd. And I mean, if they were to get just one more key player like Carmelo Anthony or something.. Then they could be back in the finals in no time!
Now the Lakers.... That's a different story.
+Greysen Gagné How far do u think they will get in the playoffs,my prediction maybe second round
Angel Mercedes Second round as well.
+Greysen Gagné i believe we can be eastern conference champions
This is the reason why I became a Celtics fan
And I am still a Celtics fan
The most dramatic NBA championship for me..
I wish My favorite player, Rondo got his 2nd Ring this season.
He did nba champion with the Celtics and with the Lakers. BTW Rondo is also one of my favorite players it's him and Fred vanvleet from the Toronto raptors
And he got it ;)
He got it
I watch this again when Boston went 3-0 vs Dallas. One more! Let's go!
Been watching this video yearly. It legitimately feels like yesterday and can't believe we're going to win another one!
I choose hockey over any sport but this was one of the best nights of my life. I love living in MA, city of champs baby
Fuck yeah! I choose football just a (tad) bit over hockey, and honestly don't even really like basketball or baseball.. But I gotta say.... That 2013 final really hurts even more (now) knowing that the team isn't as dominant anymore.
DAMN RIGHT
+Tuukka40 2011 though my man, boston STRONG!!
in MA u guys are big on professional sports am I right?
+Antbeast23 yes you are
tears with garnett at the end he earned that..
KG and Pierce deserved this soo much! I am a Celtics Fan because of this Team
I was so happy for the Celtics, still gives Goosebumps to watch this
10:09 - Big Baby throws the ball through the arena roof and into space, still hasn't come down 8 years later...
You can see the ball boys chase after it as soon as he throws it up
2018.... and many times I rewatch this makes me goosebumps
This roster is going to be on NBA 2K16. The BIG Three leading the charge with Posey and House draining 3s!!!
+Chan Lach Scalabrine swatting ya shit away too doe!!!!
+Chan Lach Too bad they didn't put James Posey and Eddie House on there. That was just dumb.

Oh foreal? I hope they good. I'll look into that.
Chan Lach Oh man what. Posey was a huge part of that roster. Besides his strong shooting he was also a lockdown defender on the wing. Then again, Chris Webber wasn't on the Kings 2002 roster for one of the 2K games...
This was my favorite all time team
Garnett Retired
Allen Retired
Pierce retiring next season
😔 this team was the best to watch
Booch i sure do miss the old days
Booch and Rondo with his smooth play.. My fav PG
This is legendary! People gonna miss this.
The greatest to ever do it. The white mamba in the background after leading the Celtics to a victory
The goat
I still get chills watching these highlights. The team was so bad for so long.....I was afraid Pierce would never be rewarded for sticking with the C's through all that crap. I cried that night....tears of pure joy.
I cried this day, was so happy.
I did too. I was born in the 80s but never saw a Celtics championship.
Man I used to hate Kobe, but he is definitely one of the greatest of all time.
This is a celtic highlight vid, kobe has NOTHING to do with this
erm it is actually a Lakers vs Celtics highlight vid. And one of the Lakers player is called Kobe Bryant so umm yeah he has something to do with it.
He plays here even when his team is in the mid losing. He still fights. Goat mentality
Rip kobe
you hate kobe then u are nothing
10:09 Ball went outta space, lmao.
lol
+Cole Phelps if you look closely, you can see it hit the commentator's area
That ball left the TD Garden. I'm not sure how, but it did
for real where did it go tho
it bounced right in front of the scorers table

Iconic

I'll never forget watching this. can't believe how long it's been
This team is so good that they didn’t even need to play Brian Scalabrine
I remember this season like it was yestarday. Our team was so complete from the starters to the Bench. #BleedGreen
How the hell was Ray Allen open so much lol
Weak d
+sleepoverparty he's Ray Allen
kobe played some killer d that game haha
Lakers gave up mid way the 3rd qtuarter
cause lakers gave up so quickly
One of the best days of my life love that team !

I so clearly remember My 8 year old self crying tears of joy after this game. Still just as hyped every time I watch it. GO CELTS!
Lakers Vs Celtics were just so great to watch. Kobe Vs ray Allen, Paul piece and KG. great Finals 👌👌
It's so sad knowing there's non from this championship roster that plays for Celtics now 😢😕
Yeah even the guy who was the mascot left it makes me sad favorite team gone like that
I agree
yeah only if Allen stayed.. felt like he held the big 3 together
ZneR_25 If my Celtics had won back in 2010, Avery Bradley could have still been considered an O.G.
Beerus - God of Destruction
He stayed, and they were defeated by Miami in 2011 and 2012. By 2013, they had no shot of beating the Heat, even had Allen stayed.
Dang greatest team ever I got chills when KG said anything is possible
From Larry Bird(#33) ➝ Paul Pierce(#34) ➝ Jaylen Brown(#7) is FINALS MVP
Anything is possible, THEY DID IT! ☘️
BANNER 18! 🏆☘️
God damn I miss the old Celtics! 😢 great times.... 🙌
This was quite possibly the greatest moment of my Kobe-hate career. I've never seen an ass whipping so thorough before and so satisfying.
What about the 2004 NBA Finals?
DonKrieg95 I didn't hate Kobe as much then. Not until he got rid of Shaq.
Those days Shaq was the better player so
Why do you hate one of the greatest players to play?
Kory Green kobe was injured in 08, but still kobe manage to win 2..while labron got beaten so bad against the spurs with an average of 20 a game and only won 1 game with a bunch of superstars on his team..lol

Coming from a huge Lakers fan, I really respect this big three. In my opinion, only 2nd to the Larry Bird Celtics squad.
I agree
What about Bill Russells Celtics team that won 11 rings in 13 years?
Rememba Kemba Bill Russell was good, but his era is arguably called the weakest era of the nba. Few stars towered as high as Russell did.
I LOVE THE WAY BOSTON CELEBRATED WHAT A TEAM!!!!
I want the current roster to realize that they are playing on the same court as where the 07-08 Celtics celebrated their championship.
That 2008 Celtics line up was better than injured 2010 team
2019 anyone??Hope this kinf of moment will happen to C's soon
Eddie House and James Posey never stopped making draining threes!! damnn
