1969 - 4th place in their own division. Barely sneak into the playoffs. Nobody expected them to get out of the first round, let alone make the finals. Sam Jones hits a miracle shot to force the 7th game, and the iron clad will of Bill Russell, and one hell of a lucky bounce from Don Nelson adds the most unlikely of all banners. Awesome.

And Bill Russell rides off into the sunset.

This is my favorite moment in my lifetime of watching sports.
The post game interview he did in the locker room says it all.

What he said to West before the game was pretty cool too: "Those [expletive deleted] balloons are staying up there".
