How sweet it is! Boston Celtics: 2007-08 World Champions.
This championship is the first one I can really remember, despite being in born in 1983. This is the 3rd Celtics championship of my lifetime. Wow, though the NBA has fallen some from its 80s glory days, the championship level requires team chemistry and defense, and boy did the Celtics make us proud this season! How fun is it to see sacrifice and dedication to excellence rewarded in this way. Paul Pierce and the guys made me so proud. I am so glad I was able to watch games 5&6 from 2-5am on Monday and Wednesday this week. Despite being a zombie the following day, it wasn't in my chemistry to skip the Celtics versus Lakers finals. The Celtics were classy and respectable. Truly the teams and individuals that win always have those traits. Nothing like being a sports fan in New England these days!
