I've got to hand it to those remarkable Boston Celtics who were determined throughout the season and played with so much heart and athleticism in the Finals. It was no doubt in my mind they would be NBA champions before the historic series got underway with the Lakers. In fact Game 5 was a blowout much to the satisfaction of Boston fans and a surprise to everyone else. The highlight of the night for me though was KG's celebration speech or their lack of on live national TV. I thought the first question he'd be asked was, "KG now that you've won the Finals what do you plan to do? His response:
"Baby, I'm gonna party like it's 1999 drinking champagne and go bligging it up all night on the town with my fabulous ring. Oh yeah, I'm going to DISNEY WORLD! I'd also like to give a shout out to those bums managing the Minnesota Timberwolves, HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW B*TCHES! I finally gonna get my NBA title, no thanks to you dumb !*&$#! Oh, how sweet it is baby!"
Of course this isn't quite the reaction I'd hoped for personally. Rather he was so overjoyed he just lost control and kept shouting, "Top of the World, top world....top of the world baby! Woooooo!" So filled with emotion Garnett was partially lost for words and shared the spotlight with former Boston Great Bill Russell. Next to the much younger lean, mean rebounding machine Russell looked like an old white-haired dinosaur. He's still one of the greatest of all-time though. Since the top scorer in the series, Paul Pierce got such little camera time it was the All-Star Celtics forward's night. Moments like that in sports are priceless. At least he basked in the glory of victory in a respectable manner. Good for you KG, you've earned it.
