I was not hugely into the Celtics as a kid, so my list is made up of embarrassingly recent stuff.

1. Last years Finals
2. Antoine's game winning bank shot three in LA
3. Two KG moments - Him barking in Leon's ear after a particularly nasty dunk in the Hawks series and the block on Arenas in the 08 season opener.

Sorry, drawing a huge blank now.

In no real specific order...

Antoine coming back with Paul, Payton, and Ricky. I kind of wish we had a time machine for that team... Make Payton a little younger, Walker when he wasn't a porker. Then fast forward and you got Big Al in the middle. Woulda been fun (Not this fun, though.)

Bill Walker on Theo in preseason. Loved that dunk so much. Extremely insignificant in a Celtics time line, but I especially loved it because Theo just dogged it when he was here and played hookie.

Being able to watch all our more recent crop of develop and a couple of them blossom into stars. Al, Rondo... Love watching both of those guys and seeing them both get better every year is extremely gratifying for me, I was here when people were throwing Al into deals for Pau Gasol and Allen Iverson. Shame he had to go down with the ACL. Hope he gets back to proving doubters wrong.

Then either coming back huge in LA or destroying LA in Boston in game six. Probably a tie.

Will Solomon. Enough said.

Well I probably wouldn't even be a fan anymore if it wasn't for him. Do you have any idea what it's like to come off a championship season and then be favorites AGAIN? It's not easy to deal with.

Every day it's like "Wow. This team is great." William brought back something that we've been lacking since 2006.

I remember I had a particularly good cup of coffee during the Will Solomon era.  Everything was just better then.
Yup
