It has come...the 17th of June 2008. The day that the 17th World Championship of Professional Basketball will come to rightfully reside in the professional basketball capital of the world...Boston, Massachusetts.
The force with which this most coveted of titles shall be attained has been deemed “The Unleashing”.
Albert Camus once wrote - “We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes, and our ravages. But our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to fight them in ourselves and in others”.
Kevin, Paul, and Ray – DO NOT HEED THESE WORDS!
All of you carry your places of exile, your crimes, and your ravages.
You have been called loser, cancer, and plague.
You have never been considered winner, valiant, or champion.
Your attitude, skill, and desire has been questioned.
When your teams of the past lost...you received the blame.
When you received your wages...you were made to feel guilty.
You have been labeled, branded, and judged.
Tonight is your opportunity to respond.
Unleash the rage within. Resist the urge to fight yourself. Submit to the primal feeling of revenge and redemption.
Make the world recognize that you are willing, ready, and worthy.
One team, one game, one task stands in your quest to the ultimate goal.
It is here.
Unleash!
