WILD ENDING Celtics vs Lakers 2008 NBA Finals 🔥🏆

[johnlinks]

One of the greatest comebacks ever. I remember this game I was clapping so hard for the Celtics coming back to win

Anyone here after Boston Celtics won their 18th Banner! Can't believe it's been 16 years. Congratulations Boston Celtics 2023-24 NBA Champions.

Wait 8 years Mike Breen

Still remember this like it was yesterday. Awesome comeback. The Truth and Kobe went back and forth. Pierce had the best footwork in the NBA. Great team in 2008. As soon as they traded for KG and Ray, I knew it was a special year 🍀🍀🏆 this year definitely feeling that same energy

This Celtics team will always hold a special place in my heart. They were the team that got me into basketball.

One of my favourite NBA comebacks. James Posey and Eddie House hitting BIG shots and I vividly remember there being an insane slomo of this layup 4:56

One of the most heartbreaking Lakers playoff losses ever.

This is my favorite championship team of all time; the 2008 Boston Celtics. I followed that team from the big 3 trade in the summer through every single game of the season and the title. I became a true basketball fan that season. 🏀🙏🏾💪🏾

It's so weird not seeing 3 pointers every possession. Miss this basketball.

I was at a weeklong sleep-in basketball camp during this series, and that was a great place to be for an event like this. As a Texas kid, i didnt care about the teams, or even their history together at the time, but can still remember watching the games with that crowd of players and having some fun nights.

This Finals is what got me really interested in the Celtics and basketball in general.

[dentonyoung]

I'd forgotten that the big comeback was pretty much complete by the end of the 3rd. The 4th quarter was a seesaw battle between two stacked teams with great players and both teams had effective role players as well.

What a game, What a series….. Great win

[onlinegremlin]

Incredible game, legacy defining. A hood and hardwood classic.

[Mitch_Feral]

Pierce drive at 1:05 is one of my favorite plays in NBA history. Ludicrous to take on 3 defenders in the teeth, but does it, ensures the foul, then finesses the ball in for 2...Truth was ruthless.

[somerandomguy]

How did Doc go from a guy leading comebacks to blowing leads lol

[enthused]

"And no team has ever come back from being down 3-1 in NBA Finals hstory"

Oof lol

[tylerensminger]

Iconic rivalry that I hope we see again in a finals soon

[RedENBAK]

These type of comebacks were not normal before the 3pt happy pace and space era. It hurts that this should have been a tie series instead of a 3-1 lead for Boston. Anything can happen in a 3 game series.

Ray Allen and Paul pierce are mostly known for their scoring and shooting abilities but I think they were very underrated ball handlers and playmakers in this series 🤔
