The Great coach Jimmy Mcginty once told heralded QB Shane Falco " But what they didn't know, was that their lives had been changed forever because they had been part of something great. And greatness, no matter how brief, stays with a man forever"

After watching that incredible Celtics run last night I couldn't get to sleep all night cause all I could think of was how incredible it must be to "Be On Top of the World" like these guys were. It was obvious these guys were a true team, they were genuinely happy to have won this thing together....as a Team. Paul Pierce was the Finals MVP, deservedly so.....but I think the real MVP of this team was KG. This was a superstar with no ego, who came in and transformed this team because he was seeking a championship and he knew the only way to do it was with all 11 guys on board...100%.

Doc Rivers instilled in these guys from day one the African Ideology of Imbuntu which loosely translated means "how many people working together can achieve something much greater than one person alone" — and I agree the term fits.

Anyways, it is amazing to see how KG changed this team's mindset and how they were polar opposites of the Lakers. KG showed love to every player on his team, even the trainers, ball boys, security guards, everybody involved. No Superstar nowadays even comes close to engendering that much camaraderie anywhere. On the opposite end of the spectrum you had Kobe constantly bitching at his teammates and screaming at them during timeouts or missed passes. When a Celtic was knocked to the floor the whole team would run over to pick him up, almost never did you see a Laker running over to pick up a fallen teammate.

So congratulations to the Celtics and Mikey (If he has remembered how to read on the intranet) for winning a championship. I was glad to see KG get a ring and hope he is an inspiration to a new generation......and for the Cobra Kai's.
