memories.

stories.

something to tell me kids.

something to think about when my spirits are low.

KG's reaction.

Paul's reaction.

One word for it all: vindication.

**** Faker fans will try to minimize our accomplishments and demean us in every way. The fact is, we delivered the biggest smackdown in finals history. Suck on it LaLaland.

Something no one can take away.

2008-- the year I've seen the c's win live.

OUTSTANDING.

CELTICS! (HOO-RAH!) CELTICS (HOO-RAH!) CELTICS (HOO RAH!)

Banner 17 means a payoff after 20+ years of tough times.  I've given this franchise everything I've got for so long and I finally got everything they've got back.  God Bless the Celtics.  17 baby!!!!!  Wooooooo!

It means, no better feeling as a sports fan. As a 6 year old my earliest memory was Magic Johnson's baby hook. Then, when Reggie Lewis passed away, the saddest day as a Celtic Fan. Years and Years of mediocre Basketball and bad luck made me believe the Celtics were cursed. After so many Championships the sports Gods decided we had enough success. It was bad for my generation cause we never got to experience those glory days. Even though I'm from Northern California, as a kid there were 3 teams to pick from, Celtics, Lakers, or Sixers. I chose Green. And the Celtics have been my favorite sports team by far. I've watched my 49ers win Super Bowls. I've seen my A's win the World Series. But none of those  Championships compare to this. I was always made fun of for being a Celtic fan. Laker fans would always rag on me. "Why do you like the Celtics?, they suck". Well, we don't suck anymore.

GO CELTICS!!!
UBUNTU!!!

The payoff for sticking with this team for so long, knowing that I was with this team from the start.

Phil Jackson is overrated, and Doc is a better coach than he is.

Banner 17 means i can get that tatoo i promised myself mid-season.  I made a deal with me, that if we won, i'd get a shamrock with 17 in the middle.  Guess i should follow through.

Also, 18 years of following some fairly ordinary Celtic teams finally has its reward.
