The 2008 NBA finals were won by the boston celtics. The Celtics walked right over the Lakers to pick up their 17th championchip banner. I dont think the Celtics could have pulled it off if it werent for some key additions to the team, this year. In order from most important to least important this is a list of the additions to the team.
Kevin Garnett the power forward, the Celtics got him from the Minnesotia Timberwolves. Where he had played his whole career. Something I found intresting is that Kg said he never would play for the Celtics he said he would only play for the Timberwolves or the Suns. Paul Pierce said that he wanted to go to the Wolves if Kg didnt come to Boston but then one later, Kg ends up bringing the championchip back to Boston and he is probably glad he got traded.
Ray Allen- The superstar strong guard, that the Celtics got from the Seattle Supersonics. Ray Allen is known for his abilaty to make 3 pointers, he is also one of the best shooters on the floor. This year he played a big part in bringing the championchip back to Boston for its 17th time. He tied the record for most 3 pointers made in a finals game which is 17. A weird circumstance is the last finals game happened on the 17th, and Ray Allen tied the record with 17 3 pointers, which brought the Celtics their 17th championchip.
Rajon Rondo- the stellar point guard from Kentucky he is known for his ability to find the open man.
Pj Brown- The veteran from the bulls he is a great shooter and ball handeler he used to play with Micheal Jordon himself. Kendrick Perkins- The center he is a great deffenceman. Him and the deffencive player of the year Kg is one of the best deffencive combos ever I think.
Sam Cassel also a great veteran used to be one of the highest point scores in history he came out of retiremant to play for Boston thisyear. Big Baby D- The back up for Perkins used to be a football player, thats must be where he gets his huge size and monster agression from. He was doing great at the start of the year then Perkins took over.
James Posey- Also known for his agression, size, and consitancy from the 3 point line.
