To this day, this remains one of the best days of my life. I was 18, just graduated high school, had just bought a new truck that day and had a beautiful girlfriend to ride in the passenger seat lol and to watch my favorite team destroy the hated Lakers alongside my dad was the cherry on top. I'll never forget that day.
Brother same goes. I was really excited when the Celtics got the champs even if it was 4.7 sec left. Damn who knows this remarkable moment will stuck in my brain for the next 10 years urrrge😔
I was 18 too I was turning 19 like two weeks away when this game happened. I was so emotional that day. I watched the Celtics since the 90's when they were bad and I never gave up on them. When this game happened I felt like the pain and misery went away in just one night.
It’s June 16th 2024, a game before game 5 in a series in which Boston is up 3-1, game 5 in Boston. Im hoping to relive this joy on Monday June 17th 2024, the exact date, 16 years later☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
I’ll give anything to see Tatum,Brown and Smart doing this at the end of the season Edit: heartbreaking end but I still love this core. Onto next year Edit: We did it!!!

Whenever I am bored and there is nothing really attractive on TV is when I dial up the 2008 game. It had everything! Ray Allen and his seven 3 pointer's, as well as Posey and House. Rondo and his "gutsy" plays. Paul Pierce leading the pack, and KG out-do Lamar Odom. I JUST LOVE YOU TUBE!!
The two NBA championships I was so happy to see is when Boston won and when the Mavs won. KG deserved that ring. I remember seeing that interview when he was crying about losing on the Wolves, and Dirk played the best individual playoff basketball Ive ever seen in my life in those 2011 finals. The underdog slayed the big 3 after like 14 years in the league.
I watch this game a few times a year. Today is extra special. This is the high us Celtics fans have been chasing for 16 years. Let’s get 18 for Russell and Walton. ☘️
Still gives me chills to this day. Remember watching this game with my friend and his parents when I was 14 at the time. Hopefully, game 5 on Monday turns out the same way with the same energy.
As the Celtics are on the verge of yet another Eastern Conference championship tonight, I had to come back and look and listen at the celebrations from 2008! And of course for KG’s “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!” The announcer Mike Breen was right about one thing when he said the Lakers would be back though. Because just two seasons later #8/#24 Kobe “bean” Bryant did return to the NBA finals to win his last of (5) five championships. RIP MAMBA we all miss you! ✌🏾🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
+Cesar Meza if your gonna let tony allen stop kobe on one end and hit a jumper in his face on the other then steal it and take it past him to the rim for a flush and guys like eddie house pj brown leon powe rondo and glen davis perkins and a hobbled old kg beat you by 39.....and an out of shape pierce and a slow moving ray allen....then you deserve to lose ...the warriors spurs and heat of 2011-2016 would destroy these two teams lol ...sweeps.....
Asmosis Jones lmfao what? sweeps? fuck outta here man. maybe out toughest opponent would be the warriors but even then, the celtics nowadays have beaten the warriors @the oracle with guys like IT4, Bradley, horford, olynyk, crowder. and 2016/2017 Celtics aren't even half of what these 08 Celtics were and still whooped on the warriors, TWICE, @The Oracle! a place where they are supposedly almost a guaranteed win.
Ossie Luktes I mean the Celtics the only team with a Case because they went 7 games with the heat in 2012 and LeBron destroyed them at the end, but he is right 2011 heat destroyed the Celtics. Mavs blew the Lakers off the floor with 3s what do you think the warriors are gonna do. Nobody on either team would be able to guard KD or LeBron.
Honestly ...... I became an NBA fan when I saw this series. (Even tho the Lakers beat them 2 years later) I became a bandwagon when they won this title and still to this day I still root for the Celtics. NBA has never failed me regardless of who was playing in the Finals. RIP Kobe, CELTICS FOREVER.
@@veronicaayala263 You guys cheated in 2008. Lakers won the title in 2009 and 2010. I have been fan for 30+ years. All Boston Fans are losers and morons
@Greg Hubbard You are a moron and a loser. Lakers won in 2009. In 2010, Lakers won at home in Game 7. Boston Leads NBA Finals 3-2 (Lakers Win NBA FINALS 4-3). Boston had a 13-point lead in Game 7 and blew it. HA HA. Losers
Wow the NBA just had so much aura back then. The Celtics won this years championship but it felt nowhere near the same as this. TD garden was loud tonight. But THIS TD garden is DEAFENING. Just look at the scenes man and what it meant to KG. Wow what a moment in time and a testament to just how hard it is to win a ring considering this Celtics team would only make one more finals appearance and lose it to the lakers.
This team was so special...they would have won more titles if it wasn't for injuries (esp KG 2009). That's why they are still talked about to this day.
What a surrounding cast this Celtics team has. Such depth, I’d put them as one of the top 5 overall greatest single season teams ever. If their veterans were all a few years younger I’d say top 3. So good.. I miss those days.
oh the memories; summer of 2008 i had just graduated high school in duluth mn, was packing up the house with my sister cuz my stepdad was moving us to minneapolis. i remember rooting for the lakers in this series oddly enough lol
That Lakers team with Kobe, Farmar, Odom, Fisher, Gasol, etc. was very classy. Coming off the bench was the now-coach, Luke Walton. This was one of my favorite finals...not just as a Celtics fan, but as a person who now lives near LA.
They spanked our ass !!! I remember this game like it was yesterday …. Bynum was injured / & ariza wasn’t around yet….. &in 2009/ 2010 we got Ron. ….This was by far the worst loss of Kobe’s career. & it also resulted in 2 championships back to back!!! & Revenge …. He shook all the hands of the Celtics never walked off that floor &&& iv heard the stories about the bus & the rocks being thrown by the fans and surrounding not letting them leave …. Memories and hauntings forever. But also. Motivation RIP to Kobe Bean “BlackMamba” we miss you mane it ain’t the same without you.
As a LA Lakers fan that asswhipping we took that night motivated my boys to win back to back NBA championships.celtics fans knows we was better team in 2010.
@Alexander Melnikov You sound Max Kellerman with that dumb ass statement. U do know the first 5 Lakers Rings came before Bill Russell played. So next time think before you speak. The NBA started before 1980
This was the most fun I had watching any C’s team. The Big 3, Ayo! As the theme song, best defense in years, complete team from top to bottom and we beat the Lakers to win it all. What a vibe.
Screw the Warriors, this was the team I grew up with as a kid and I’ll always remember the most, I’m a Blazers fan but that was glorious seeing the Lakers get slapped around.
KG telling Bill Russell "I got my own" always gives me chills
you need a coat buddy ?
