After 22 years (15 of which myself being a loyal fan) the Boston Celtics have reclaimed their status as the NBA champions. They did this tuesday night with 131-92 victory of the oft hated Lakers.
To be honest, I can’t help but be excited about this. I have been a Celtics fan since I was 7 years old and have watched them time and time again lose and be eliminated. So, to finally see them grab the proverbial brass ring is sweet indeed. Especially aganist the Lakers.
In 2002 my other favorite NBA team, the Indiana Pacers, squared off aganist the then mighty Lakers lead by a younger Bryant and Shaq. Reggie Miller pulled off many trademark threes, but it wasn’t enough and they ended up being beaten in 6 games.
For this fan, seeing one of my teams finally win a championship in any sport, especially my favorite sport, is great. Beating the Lakers just adds to the greatness.
