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...

Boston Sports fans I swear are blessed with comebacks in bigtime moments. 2002 Celtics comeback against Nets in the 4th quarter to win the game in conference finals. 2004 Red Sox playoffs comeback down 0-3 against the yankees to break the curse of the bambino. 2008 Comeback against Lakers. 2015 Patriots comeback in the Superbowl. There has to be something about Boston that brings out the best in its players when they're down.

I think that Celtic team deserved at least 1 more championship, maybe the one in 2009 when they lost in the Eastern conference finals to the Magic, and definately in 2010 when they took the lakers to a game 7 without Perkins. That Celtic team was just too good to have only won 1 in my opinion. It should have been a 3-peat 2008 to 2010. Shoulda coulda woulda.... I'm going to go there: I think Doc Rivers could have done better to get them one more championship, although some of you may think that Rivers is the only reason we won in 2008 to begin with.

Greatest comeback in NBA History!

This was so frustrating as a Laker fan. Then later in the series I feel like the Lakers failed to finish a big comeback. Weird series.

As a die hard Lakers millennial fan, this was the hardest most heartbreaking game to ever watch. It took me 15 years to watch the highlights of this game, I now have to share my thoughts. After Kobe’s death, getting older, and appreciating the legends like Pau, KG, Pierce and Odom I can now put my sports feelings aside and just appreciate the grit and toughness the Celtics brought during this game. Posey was the prototype 3&D guy and really spurred back the Celtics. This was also the first game I’ve ever seen where Phil had no answer. Just a masterclass defensive performance by the Cs. Of course it doesn’t hurt that I watched game 7 2010 highlights right before this.😂 I loved this era of basketball, it was the perfect mix of the slow pace era and the run and gun positionless basketball now. Thank god we got them back in 2010, that makes it hurt just a little less!!!

As a C's fan all my life and having been born around the turn of the century, the Celtics-Lakers rivalry was an object of legend to me as a little kid. My dad really imparted the history in me, being from the Bird-Magic era. I remember jumping up and down when we won in 2008 and being devastated when we lost in 2010. It's honestly a shame that we haven't seen a Finals against each other since, despite both having been consistent title contenders in recent years. Of all the teams I have watched since '08, this is (in my opinion) by far the best shot my C's have at winning 18. I suffered through so many "just good enough to get beaten by Lebron in the playoffs", "what if so-and-so wasn't injured", and "next year is our year" seasons growing up. But this year is different. Rewatching the seasons the Celtics played the Lakers in the Finals is nostalgic like nothing else. It's more than basketball. I want to see a ring on Tatum's finger regardless of who we play, but there's no one I'd rather face in the Finals (if we get there) than the Lakers.

David Pineda Sasha came back and he sucked to some degree but was a good 3 pt shooter Ariza is a good player and he started for the hornets and now the rockets. Bynum was alwayd hurt and 09 was statiscally his prime beginning

With Brian Scalabrine on the roster. Coincidence? I think not.

Man, that 08’ celtics team was something else…

Legend has it Ray Allen’s reverse lay up on Gasol still has him bamboozle till today.

Had to watch this after the amazing performance from the clippers yesterday. I honestly gave up on them and went to bed. Got straight up to start the day after I saw the score. Doc Rivers is an amazing coach.

Kobe was pissed walking into that locker room

posey pierce ray tony kg and even pesky rondo ..i would be pissed too ..thats a scary team to go against for kobe...they had so many guys to cover him

I remember watching this on TV the day they had that game. That comeback was amazing.

Shannon Sharpe said on Undisputed that no matter how many times you win, you always remember the losses. This game hurt. I mean bad. I'll never forget the feeling I had as a 17 year old when we blew this game. I don't even know why I searched this video. I know we ultimately got our revenge in 2010 but ask any Lakers fan, this game cut deep.

Way back 2008 i was 5th grade and this is the 1st nba final series i have watched, even thou every people in my place always cheer up for lakers(specially kobe) deep down i am rooting for the guys in green, was really amazed on how the celtics played the series and eventually winning the title fast forward And now year 2019 and im still a celtics fan ☘☘

Man time flies all these guys are out the league except rondo and Ariza rip kobe

I miss the big finals trophy logo (07,08,09)

Lebron and the Cavs put up more of a challenge than kobe and the lakers in 2008 lmao. God damn i wish we would have saw cavs vs lakers in the finals. Lebron always does good against kobes lakers.

Remember watching this in a bar with a buddy. Had never really watched Paul Pierce play before and remember loudly going "Jesus, he's good!" while watching this. This was a hell of a game.

Can't Wait To Play With This Team On NBA 2K16!!

Kobe was really trying to get his team involved, but they just gave in to the Celtics. He was looking for the pass early, especially to Gasol and Odom. He shot his first field goal in the 2nd quarter. This Lakers team was actually the best of the Kobe-Gasol era. Their offense was high octane, and they would run most teams out of the gym. They even had the “bench mob” with Sasha Vujacic, Farmar, Shannon Brown, Maurice Evans, Trevor Ariza etc. They just didn’t have that mental toughness. They really gave the Celtics this one. I thought they were good enough to win.

James Posey was really the unsung hero for this championship team.

This is when I used to watch Basketball there was more passion for the game One of the best rivalry in my lifetime definitely will be classic

Looking back now... this was an amazing game, but man was it a rollercoaster ride of emotions when i watched it.

10 years later. Kobe 🐐rest in peace

If they could have kept this particular roster together a little longer, no telling how many championships they could have won. This was a great roster, plenty of depth, great coaching - a dynasty in the making...

Awesome edit for this video man thanks for sharing

Posey reminds me of Horry. Great 3 and D guy, not afraid of the moment, steps it up in the playoffs. Role players/veterans like them are so valuable to teams. The term "role player" sometimes carries a negative stigma, but never underestimate a player who performs his role exceptionally well like James Posey did.

Who's watching this amazing comeback at 2020? R.I.P Kobe Bryant.

Cant imagine how kobe felt after this game,knowing his way of competing you could tell how this one hurt

If Kevin Garnett doesn't get hurt in 09 and the Celtics don't choke away a 13 pt 2nd half lead in game 7, this would have been a 3peat

Kobe can't have 6 rings and 3peat again when he couldn't the Celtics then KG's injury the next year gives Kobe a free ring and Perkins Game 6 injury in 2010 when the 4th seed Celtics were up 3-2 on Kobe helped the Lakers win. That Lakers team was beatable and it was obvious because they were down 3-2 to a worse Celtics and got destroyed by the Mavs the next year. Celtics starting 5 never lost a series or gave up a series lead.

There would have been no Celtics championship that year without Ray Allen's masterful run! Respect!

Estos Celtics tenían gran corazón y coraje,no como los de hoy sin hambre de triunfo!

I miss the Big 3 :(

Damn James Posey the goat

One of my fav series to watch, The Celtics showed grit, composure and everything it took to win. Even more impressive that this was their FIRST finals together lol.

That was a GREAT series!!!
