Game 6, Boston. Congratulations to the Boston Celtics on their 17th World Championship. They came out to win game six and win they did 131-92! They beat a Hall of Fame Coach (Phil Jackson) and player (Kobe Bryant) who many thought, including myself, were unbeatable. The Celtics beat the Lakers in all phases of the game tonight. Besides winning each quarter of the game, they forced L.A. into 19 turnovers with 18 steals. That's great defense. Los Angeles on offense, only made 27-64 field goal attempts (42%). The Celtics took an unbelievable 23 more shots than the Lakers and made 43 field goals total (49%). An incredible performance for the Celtics.
Since their last championship in 1986, Boston had struggled to have winning seasons, much less a championship. I think it began with the death of Len Bias. The University of Maryland star forward had just been drafted number one by the Celtics, when he died from cocaine use. It seems that this started years of bad luck for the franchise, until this year. Again congratulations to the entire Boston Celtics organization. You are true champions.
