"The series ain't over. It's far from over."
-Kobe Bryant, after game 4 of the 2008 NBA Championship Series
The Celtics crushed the Lakers last night, 131-92 , to win the 2008 NBA championship, an NBA record 17th overall, their 39 point win surpassing the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in a championship clincher.
I'm still giddy.

Player of the game Kevin Garnett dropped to the parquet and kissed the leprechaun at center court and then found Bill Russell, the Hall of Famer who has 11 Celtic championship rings and taught him the Celtic way, for a long embrace."I got my own. I got my own," Garnett said. "I hope we made you proud."
"You sure did," Russell replied.
Perfect ending, a 17th title on the 17th of June.
I'm still giddy.

The Celtics were the best team in the NBA and it's fitting that they won the title. I just hope that the comparisons between Bryant and Jordan will stop now. Kobe Bryant couldn't hold Jordan's jock!
