Boston Celtics' amazing 24 point comeback vs Lakers (2008 NBA Finals Game 4)

One of the greatest comebacks in NBA Finals history took place in game 4 of the 2008 Finals as the Celtics were down by 24 and still won in the end.

Ray Allen played all 48 minutes in this game. Running off of screens and still driving to the basket at game's end. Dude's conditioning was unreal

[jcapo]

8 years later and only a handful of these guys still in the league. Times flies

i forgot how big Posey was for us. Every time the Lakers were gonna pull away...bang

[jeffreyjean]

Quick fact:

The 2008 Celtics played the MOST total games in a season in NBA History ... 82 regular season and 26 postseason games.

Ray Allen playing the entire game and then just driving by Vujacic and Gasol for the easy layup with 16 seconds left to put a dagger into the Lakers heart. Straight up gangster.

This team just clicked amazingly. From the "Big 3" of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett,  3 vets hungry for their first ring. To that bench of Posey, House, Powe and P.J Brown. To a young injury free Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins. To a talented coaching staff in not only Doc, but Thibs, a huge factor in their defensive greatness as well.

I can't help but think if only...

If only KG didn't get injured in 2009.

If only Perk was in Game 7 of 2010.

If only Perk wasn't traded away in 2011 for Jeff Green...If only the team wasn't so injured that year

If only Danny Ainge kept the core 5 of Rondo, Ray, Paul, KG and Perk together for just one more year... 

Sigh...

this Boston team is easily my favorite basketball team of all time. they were just so much fun to watch and their lineup was so star studded, absolutely amazing

[TheEpicHitmarker]

Bryant (RIP), Gasol, Pierce, Allen. Damn I can't believe how fast time flies. I miss this era of basketball. You just don't get that same excitement like you used to.

What great finals that was. As a long time Celtics fan, I finally got to witness us winning a championship. After struggling in 90s and the early 2000s. I was so happy for Pierce, KG, and Ray to finally won a ring. We have lots depth pieces too. My guys Eddie House and James Posey were killers in that series. Powe had that great game 2. Plus the leadership of Cassell, Tony Allen and PJ Brown.

Thanks for the footage. Seeing PP and KG's return tonight made me feel nostalgic. Man, stuff like this makes me miss that team so much.

[wilhelm]

Can't believe this happened 5 years ago. Time really flies. Thank you for this amazing clip.

[lionelt]

Ray Allen clearly should of won Finals MVP during this series. Pierce only got it because he was the face of that team. Ray Allen was the most consistent out of the Big 3, in all six of those games

[wohlstanddurchbirnen]

By far, the 2008 Celtics are my favourite team of all time.

[infinitygauntlet]

House and Posey are underrated players ..

[aiyachristian]

As a Laker fan, I still don't know how we lost this finals, I mean we looked good. We swept the Iverson-Melo Denver team and beat the defending champ Spurs 4 games to 1. But this Celtic team just destroyed us. 

[liberalandprogressiveathei]

I love to look back at what a team. 2010 makes me mad to this day. We were the best

[ChristianRobertPeterson]

2008, first year of high school, diehard Boston Fan. To see my Boston team come together like this when it mattered most, putting the team first by bringing out the best in themselves to overcome the impossible. Honestly. Brought tears to my eyes
