Memo to all the head honchos at Planet ESPN. Re: Ways to save your company a lot of money in airfare, hotels, meals, cabs and other travel expenses this summer? Call off this stupid charade of visiting 20 cities to find out who Titletown USA is and just award it now to the most obvious choice.
The City of Boston.
We've won every other title over the past few years so why shouldn't we win this win one as well.
The Quest for NBA Title#17 ended last evening for the Boston Celtics as they extracted a beating upon the LA Lakers in Game 6, the likes of which we haven't seen since Mel Gibson was strapped down on a slab at the end of Braveheart. The Celtics carved the pride out of the Lakers players during a 34-15 advantage in the second quarter and left them beaten by the side of the road.
With today being YouTube Wednesday (see yesterday's post for explanation), today's videos will commemorate the Celtics victory. A quick note before we get to the videos. In looking for videos to post, I saw some videos that showed Kevin Garnett in his Minnesota uniform. Garnett had played 12 years in Minnesota, was the face of that franchise and was a member of the Timberwolves just 11 months ago, but in looking at Garnett in that uniform, it felt like his time in Minnesota happened a million years ago.
First off is the obligatory "We are the Champions" video.
The next video is a great commercial from Reebok. The commercial shows that even Red Auerbach (wherever he is) is getting enjoyment from the Celtics championship victory. I admit, I got chills (and a couple of goosebumps) while watching it.
Finally, with the Celtics winning title #17, and me being a child of the 80's, I have to post the video for the song that I most associate with the number 17 (and has nothing to do with basketball). ENJOY!!
