Exactly why i LOVE the Celtics. Humility, love and dedication to the francise, the ego's of each individual player is Nothing like the heat's and i respect that tremendously. I'll always be a Celtic...its the Celtic way!
I think the Moral of the Story is Always have Ray Allen on your team. Even when he retires just let him sit at the edge of the bench with the jersey on! It will +100 boost all 3 pointers.
In their prime I would take Boston's big three. KG in his prime is unquestionably the greatest power forward and defensive force of all time. Ray allen is undoubtedly the greatest shooter of all time, and Paul Pierce has ice water in his veins. The dude is clutch.
I mean that Kevin Garnett is undoubtedly the best two way power forward of all time. Don't tell me Karl Malone or Tim Duncan is better because both had hall of fame like players and hall of fame coaches the minute they stepped on the court. Kevin Garnett's intensity on the court is unparalleled to any player. If I were to choose a power forward from their prime for a season or a series or a single game, there is no question KG is the best option. There is no question Tim Duncan's longevity has added to his argument of the best pf but his defensive skill set and athleticism is nowhere near that of Kevin Garnett. I'm not talking about long term success, I'm talking about taking a PF in their prime for small stretch of time.
Arjun Ramachandran Well you started off broad and got ver specific really quick to defend yourself so this argument would be a comolete waste of my time but good trolling technique.
As an LA fan, I hated that Boston team back then, especially KG (I always respected Pierce, but I was never vocal about it). When the whole Miami thing happened, it didn't rub me the long way until the lost in the Finals in 2011. All of this hype and build up that they created for themselves, just for it to blow up in their faces. I didn't care about Lebron going to Miami, I just care about how arrogance he acted at this point and even in the 2015 Finals when he "answered" a question by saying "I'm the best player in the world". Nothing has changed. I never saw this introduction of the Celtics Big 3 and I have a lot of respect for those guys and that organization because they realized that nothing has been accomplished or guaranteed. Those battles between Miami and Boston were amazing to watch in those years. I just wish the refs officiated a fair series and let Miami get beat like they should've been.
Celtics big three had a legendary bad luck. Injuries in 2009 and 2010, destroyed team chemistry and no center in 2011, injuries in 2012 and injuries in 2013 once again. They shouldve got three rings (09 and 10) IMO.
I respect your opinion but lebron personality inside the court is hates by so many i understand when he said hes the best player that lebron thing deal with it how about lets see how good father he is and a husband to her wife how many organizations hes helping and foundation how about that hu be neutral too
Chelo Figueroa I wish they would've both jus signed with the celtics in like 04. Kenny Anderson ray allen paul pierce Antoine walker and Kevin garnett loll. and still a young Kendrick Perkins
The Celtics had class having a party would people even hate them more. Celtics Big 3 would have been more successful if they joined forces when they were in their mid 20's.
I think we can say that about any sport and any team lol. If you take some of every franchises best players, and you put them on the same team during their mid 20's ofc they'd rape face lol. This is the 2000s. You don't get that much talent - at that young of an age - on one team anymore. The closest you get is probably GSW or The Cavs atm, and I don't honestly think either of them will win the championship this year. I'm fairly certain that Dallas is going to win it all. Dirk is getting up to some of his final years, and this is probably going to be his best shot at getting another championship, so I just have a feeling they're going to get it(not to mention the fact they're underdogs when you look at the rest of the playoff picture).
The crazy thing is, the first two years, they were still in their primes. Pierce averaged 25 the year before they got together (06-07), and averaged 20 in their second year. Allen averaged 27 in 07 and still averaged 18 in 08. Garnett had just averaged 22 and 13 in his last MIN season and had almost 20 and 10 in Boston. That's why they were just so dominant, they were as much in their primes as the 2014 Heat team, just getting old. If KG doesn't get hurt in 2009, they repeat as champions.
This is a very stupid video, for the fans who don't know, The Celtics are the origin of the Big 3 era, every other era, Heat, Okc, Knick etc are just imitations. Thats why the Celtics are a class organization.
Pretty sure they weren't the first big three... Lakers with Kareem, Magic, and Worthy, the Celtics with Bird, McHale, and Parish the Bulls with Pippen, Jordan, and Rodman... And if you consider the Knicks as a "Big Three" then we've got problems
+Christian Rivera I'm almost positive, the very first SuperTeam (3 Very Good Players) was the 60s Lakers with Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor..
+KD3D1 are you nut headed? reason for the heat's ring is that they faced a young okc. and the 2nd ring is with the help of . ray allen(from celtics btw) dumbass
Difference is clear : Boston a respectable likeable team that was brought together as they were exiting their primes. Heat: A cocky trio that knew they were unstoppable in their primes with a dickhead fan base that won championships literally only one city in America respects.
Meh, you can't really call Lebron "cocky". He's just VERY confident. A cocky player doesn't back up their ego. Lebron has done more than enough to justify his ego. The dude is a fucking legend. He could retire, RIGHT NOW, and be a top 5 player of all time in the NBA. That's saying something imo. While I loved the Celtics big 3 and all, I can't hate on Lebron at all. Also, Bosh wasn't very cocky. Bosh is pretty humble overall. He's like Garnett in many ways. He's just a big goofball. Wade has always been cocky, and if I was a Miami fan, I wouldn't mind it. The things Wade has done for the Heat franchise is just unbelievable. He's definitely a legend of the city. Miami would be ignorant to not retire his jersey after all he has done for them.
um yes, they did get together in the back end of their careers. Ray came to the celtics when he was 32, KG was 31. So they already went through their primes by the time they got to Boston. Miami on the other hand.... all those guys are in their mid/high 20's which is your prime.
The way the heat did it was what made it so bad. Like if they would've grown up on the same team or like quietly joined the heat it would've been fine, but they did it so douchely. I mean a fuckin concert? They were like so confident too, like they were 100% sure they were the best team possible, that they'd like never lose a game and win championships over and over and over. I love lebron, and I have no problems with bosh or wade, but this was just awful. Shows u what men do when they have a great opportunity that, even if it ruins their public image, will make them a lot of money and way more popular and successful
Even though my favorite team is the heat, the celtics had a better big 3 because that weren't trying to be soo cool, and Ray Allen is the only reason that they won the championship
LOL. Great vid man. And Boston won it the first year out too. I'm a Laker fan and this kills me, but I've been rooting for Boston. Hopefully they get it done tomorrow night. Besides if its OKC/Heat I'd root for none of them haha.
lol, and I'm a Miami fan. I felt the way in the Miami one inside when I heard they were coming back, but watching it happen was like okay really...really. Can we just get business done.
Heat are a good team, and congrats to them... but I still will stick with the Celtics as my favorite team. The fact that the Celtics made it to the ECF considering all the injuries (like Jeff Green & Chris Wilcox with heart surgeries, etc.) and considering the ages of the Big 3... I'm very proud of them. Can't ask for any more effort than they put out there, as a Celtics fan. :) Congrats to the Heat for making it to the Finals though. :)
+Mark Sigur Well, who were the Big 3 playing when they won their first championship? The Oklahoma City fucking Thunder, a young, inexperienced squad with a Kevin Durant who hadn't yet reached his prime. And the year before that? They also didn't have Ray Allen (not that I'm necessarily saying Allen would have been the vital piece which would have gotten them a championship), but they had the Big 3, and they lost to the *Dallas Mavericks*, which was not only the heavily unfavored underdog, but also a lower seed as well. I don't usually like to use immature nicknames for players but during that 2011 Finals series "LeChoke James" definitely lived up to his moniker.
ZhangK71 Chris Bosh rebound and Ray Allen three pointer buzzer beater saved Miami heat in game 6 and overtime bosh block danny green save Miami win in game 6 NBA finals 2013
The celtics big 3 have teammate chemistry, the 3 work very well together and cannot be separated, like they say, they're brothers for life. The miami heat are just 3 guys wanting a ring and just leaving their teams for a championship, while they may have heart, they have no dignity nor respect for the game
It's not Miami has done something totally wrong, the celtics just took a classier approach. I'm a Celtics fan, but don't hate the heat, they were just having a good time. I love that the Celtics are humble and classy guys though.
We here at PMS think that it is all well and good to compare how the Miami Heat welcomed its big 3 versus the Boston Celtics, but just wait until the Milwaukee Bucks get theirs. Schlemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated, baby! Keep those pads on!
It's not THAT he left Cleveland for Miami, it's the way he did it that gives people an incredibly justified reason to hate him and everything he stands for.
Based on Dwyane Wade the main purpose of the celebration was to uplift the city. Miami is not all beaches their community is poor and they wanted to uplift the morale of the city! Dwyane wade also said if they had to do it again, they would do it again except for the cameras. For the uplifting the morale of Miami for sure
they should have won at least 2-3 rings if they never got hurt. KG battled with his knee injury in 09 and allen as well. plus they were aging. They were in their 30's when they got together.
and yea, it's been since '80. i know, to a Heat fan its hard to imagine that anybody could be a fan of their team for that long. i bet you'd understand if i told you i'd been a Celtics fan since Garnett got there though. like i said, the Heat aquired 90% of their fans in 2010, and yes that includes you!
In Wade's defense, if you watch the original clip, D Wade looks pretty uncomfortable while LBJ and Bosh are bent on milking every minute of the limelight...
to be completely honest i don't' understand why everyone is mad at lebron for saying not 1 not 2 not 3 not 4.... i get that it was a bit arrogant and he thought it was going to be easy. But he realized he was wrong in thinking that it was going to be easy... but as an athlete isn't it instilled in your brain to try to achieve to be the best and be the winner of your sport. What did you expect him to say... "this is going to be a great team hope we can make playoffs but if we lose its okay!"
Boston has got Terry now who's 3 years younger than allen, better perimeter defense and shoots threes just as good if not better. We have upgraded our big three. Mia is going down.
It was smart to trade them, but I think they held onto Rondo a few seasons too long. It was obvious the guy had a bit too much talent for the Celtics to tank properly, and nobody was going to cough up anything big to the Celts because the Celts had nothing to offer after the big 3 left - except Rondo, which meant they weren't going to be able to put together a championship team until they got rid of him. It sucks when franchises have all-star talent, such as Rondo, but they can't put any pieces together due to the fact the player wins his team too many games for them them to get a nice draft pick. Look at Lebron, the first time he was on the Cavs.. They got him NO talent for so long because he was just too damn good. He would carry that whole team on his dick, but one man can't win it all. I think these teams are getting A LOT smarter now. They know that if you don't have a championship caliber team(or playoff bound team - depending on your city and situation) then you just gotta go into rebuild mode. I think a huge flaw with the NBA is the salary caps. Teams like the Lakers should almost NEVER have a bad season because they're one of the wealthiest teams in the NBA - this means they can afford to get the talent. Not to mention the fact they're in LA - a fairly desirable location compared to the likes of the Timberwolves or Pistons. I'm not hating on LA by any means as they have done very well for most of their franchises existence, but what I'm pointing out is how flawed the system can truly be. You need to have set salary caps on teams - to prevent monopolizing things. There's a reason why the big 3 could happen in Miami, but it will never happen to the Timberwolves... location and money. Either way, I think increasing the salary caps next year is slightly stupid as it won't help out anyone really. All the players are just going to expect to get paid more, which means all that "extra money" will just be given to them - rather than trying to help teams expand their rosters and shit.
But recently D-Wade has seemed more of a punk on the court if anything, with Lebron's ego rubbing off on him. I used to love watching him play before the 2010 season (where he lost the Celtics in the playoffs). His athleticism, and skill set was amazing to watch until I watched him fly around thinking he owned the world with Lebron, trucked Paul Pierce, Yanked Rondo down which led to broken elbow, breaking Kobe's nose, and even if they can be unintentional, he definitely has the look in his eyes
I like both #respect stop the hates people wonder why 👑 lebron had so many hates now i know why😂😂😂😂but for now #lets go celtics #lets go kyrie the unguardable point guard ever👍👌👏👏👏
We already got... Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, not eight, not nine, not ten, not eleven, not twelve, not thirteen, not fourteen, not fifteen, not sixteen, but 17 championships and we gone get our 18th before you get another! We are better! #BLEEDGREEN #OnceACelticAlwaysACeltic #BOSTONSTRONG #BANNER18 #BeatTheHeat
Might wanna check on those *astounding* stats from the rest of the entourage. Until now, Miami hasn't played anyone close to OKC... lets just wait two weeks and see who brings out the four wins.
But the heat could have done a press conference the same way the celtics did. They didnt have to go on stage and make a huge deal out of it before the team even had a pracice.
this make them look stupid honestly I'm not tryin to hate but them made such a big ass deal of them that they can arguably the the best 3 play nope the spurs big 3 are the best stuck together for so long n have gone through ups n downs especially last year n enjoy playing together I'm glad they won it they are well deserved n as well the coach n the whole team spurs nation! (:
OKC beat the defending champs, and the two teams that made up more than half of last decade's championships. The way they're stacked, it'll be hard not to see them win in at least 5. Humble and hungry young guys playing for a small city vs. over blasted egos that are quite frankly, more hollywood than LA, in the party city of Miami. It's not hard to pick the more likeable team unless you just love Lebron.
This is pretty unfair, the Boston clips are of a press conference speaking to sports reporters and the Miami clips are of a fan event where they're clearly trying to fire up the crowd.
Exactly why i LOVE the Celtics. Humility, love and dedication to the francise, the ego's of each individual player is Nothing like the heat's and i respect that tremendously. I'll always be a Celtic...its the Celtic way!
2:38 vs. 2:49
That is the difference between these teams.
I think the Moral of the Story is Always have Ray Allen on your team. Even when he retires just let him sit at the edge of the bench with the jersey on! It will +100 boost all 3 pointers.
Facts.lol💯💯
The Celtics's 3 are so humble by comparison. The difference is incredible.
In their prime I would take Boston's big three. KG in his prime is unquestionably the greatest power forward and defensive force of all time. Ray allen is undoubtedly the greatest shooter of all time, and Paul Pierce has ice water in his veins. The dude is clutch.

LETS GO CLIPPERS
Heat fans left the building then tried to get back in. C fans stay til the end. Win or lose.
If Boston's big three would've gotten together in their primes they would've won multiple championships.
Well earlier in their primes they were in the last year of their primes.
And you are in the last year of your prime I'm sure.
Chelo Figueroa I wish they would've both jus signed with the celtics in like 04. Kenny Anderson ray allen paul pierce Antoine walker and Kevin garnett loll. and still a young Kendrick Perkins
They were in their prime when they got together......
No they weren't, they got together late in their careers.
The Celtics had class having a party would people even hate them more. Celtics Big 3 would have been more successful if they joined forces when they were in their mid 20's.
I think we can say that about any sport and any team lol. If you take some of every franchises best players, and you put them on the same team during their mid 20's ofc they'd rape face lol.

They were in their primes in 08 but got older year by year. The emergence of Rondo also helped give them a boost
Bob Jones man fuck outta here they got exposed that’s what it was tried to make a super team and they got they shit spolied
The difference is that if the Celtics were at the same stage of there careers that the heat were in there would be no question who was the best.

Forgot to add that the Celtics big 3 won it their first year together ... Which Miami didn't #CelticsNation

+Brandon Ang no there are not Celtics are done now in 2016 heat are not
Glad the heat lost their first year, they were hella cocky!!!!!!!!
Boston is better plus they were in there primes and the heat one the second ship cuz of Ray
um yes, they did get together in the back end of their careers. Ray came to the celtics when he was 32, KG was 31. So they already went through their primes by the time they got to Boston. Miami on the other hand.... all those guys are in their mid/high 20's which is your prime.

Yea we were cocky but we still have twice as many rings as your big 3 and whooped ya asses in the playoffs twice.
mothurman well 11-12 u almost lost to the celtics.
Almost lost isn't losing.
They got 66 wins in their first year. So if the big 3 was younger and better, it's not crazy to say they could win 70 games.
Even though my favorite team is the heat, the celtics had a better big 3 because that weren't trying to be soo cool, and Ray Allen is the only reason that they won the championship
I still give credit to Paul Pierce
Zach Trivisonno Wowowowowowowo! U betta not be talkin bout the C's or u bout 2 get shot. BOS had the SKEWAAAAUD!
Serron Shepard WHAT?!
SKEWAAAAUD!, black for squad
LOL. Great vid man. And Boston won it the first year out too. I'm a Laker fan and this kills me, but I've been rooting for Boston. Hopefully they get it done tomorrow night. Besides if its OKC/Heat I'd root for none of them haha.
They had to team up against the celtics, its that simple, Wade couldn't beat them by himself neither could lebron and forget about Bosch.
wat shut up
as a kid from fl you are spot on
lol, and I'm a Miami fan. I felt the way in the Miami one inside when I heard they were coming back, but watching it happen was like okay really...really. Can we just get business done.
The difference is the heat are all cocky while the Celtics are all relaxed and honored to play with each other
Heat are a good team, and congrats to them... but I still will stick with the Celtics as my favorite team. The fact that the Celtics made it to the ECF considering all the injuries (like Jeff Green & Chris Wilcox with heart surgeries, etc.) and considering the ages of the Big 3... I'm very proud of them. Can't ask for any more effort than they put out there, as a Celtics fan. :) Congrats to the Heat for making it to the Finals though. :)
Wow, The celtics were so much more humble in there interviews
This video is brilliant!
Boston - class. Miami - swag
Honestly the heat wouldn't have won 2 championships without Ray Allen and he use to be in Boston so yeah
Ray Allen wasn't their for the first ring
Ray Allen wasn't their for the first ring
+Mark Sigur Well, who were the Big 3 playing when they won their first championship?

this needs to be seen by more people
this video needs to be watched by EVERYONE
The celtics big 3 have teammate chemistry, the 3 work very well together and cannot be separated, like they say, they're brothers for life.
The miami heat are just 3 guys wanting a ring and just leaving their teams for a championship, while they may have heart, they have no dignity nor respect for the game
Both lebron and wade at their peak of the game that's make them a superteam Back then.
The difference is the Boston big 3 joined together in their later days, Big 3 joined together in their prime
Amen brother. Couldn't have put it better.
Oh yea I forgot about that. Rondo then is different than Rondo now. You're right.
It's contagious!!!!! Quick, It's spreading too fast. Save yourself before it's too late!
Boston's big 3 in their first season together would KILL this current Miami Big 3 like it was no business....
you said almost exactly what I wanted to say.. LET'S GO HEAT!
this is the greatest video i have ever seen
It's not Miami has done something totally wrong, the celtics just took a classier approach. I'm a Celtics fan, but don't hate the heat, they were just having a good time. I love that the Celtics are humble and classy guys though.
We here at PMS think that it is all well and good to compare how the Miami Heat welcomed its big 3 versus the Boston Celtics, but just wait until the Milwaukee Bucks get theirs. Schlemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated, baby! Keep those pads on!
Dirk and Kawhi were the last stars to carry a franchise to a chip without needing a super team
That would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that one of the members of the Celtics' Bid 3 came to Miami.
@patscelticsredsox2 you are correct.
both these big 3's in their prime can have a seat.. The spurs big 3 in their prime would expose both.
maybe
Sorry the best big three in their prime was magic Kareem and worthy.
It's not THAT he left Cleveland for Miami, it's the way he did it that gives people an incredibly justified reason to hate him and everything he stands for.
Difference? How about 2 rings vs. 1? How you like THEM differences?
I think basketball is entertaining enough without fireworks.
great vid man. love your chiddy bang shit too
That Heat team will never have a lasting legacy like the 80s lakers, 90s bulls, 00s Lakers, spurs and todays warriors.
Harsh, but true. But don't tell Heat fans, excuse me Heat trolls, because they'll go insane.
Based on Dwyane Wade the main purpose of the celebration was to uplift the city. Miami is not all beaches their community is poor and they wanted to uplift the morale of the city! Dwyane wade also said if they had to do it again, they would do it again except for the cameras. For the uplifting the morale of Miami for sure
Lebron did not get his teammates involved in game 7. His first assist came in the 4th quarter. Might want to look back at those stats...
the best thing is that miami lost the NBA finals that year, against dallas
I think they didn't have the best chemistry since LeBron and Bosh came
So we (the celtics) won in our first season^^^^
^^^ and didn't win a single one after that :)
Marvin Garcia still overall a better team...
How? More rings, more talent, more finals app, and 2-0 vs you guys, better at nothing lol
they should have won at least 2-3 rings if they never got hurt. KG battled with his knee injury in 09 and allen as well. plus they were aging. They were in their 30's when they got together.
Don't forget about them getting anally fucked by the zebra's in game 7 in 2010.
Imagine if the Celtics and Heat big three never got traded
if Boston's big 3 were together on their young age like miami, they would have more rings on their hand
While it seems that the argument to compare these two events is valid, the point is that Miami did hold a fan event such as this one...
the heat have swag. the celtics have CLASS.
Boston's big 3 seemed to have humility when they came together.
celtics are a classy organization while the heat are a team that has to make it big
guess you've never heard KG talk during a game
Miami was like a wwe bad guy
and yea, it's been since '80. i know, to a Heat fan its hard to imagine that anybody could be a fan of their team for that long. i bet you'd understand if i told you i'd been a Celtics fan since Garnett got there though. like i said, the Heat aquired 90% of their fans in 2010, and yes that includes you!
I think this is more the difference between Boston and Miami as franchises
Agreed; Pierce and LeBron are neck and neck at their peak and Ray Allen can match Wade's scoring but KG would absolutely eat Bosh alive in his prime.
What about Dwade?
In Wade's defense, if you watch the original clip, D Wade looks pretty uncomfortable while LBJ and Bosh are bent on milking every minute of the limelight...
to be completely honest i don't' understand why everyone is mad at lebron for saying not 1 not 2 not 3 not 4.... i get that it was a bit arrogant and he thought it was going to be easy. But he realized he was wrong in thinking that it was going to be easy... but as an athlete isn't it instilled in your brain to try to achieve to be the best and be the winner of your sport. What did you expect him to say... "this is going to be a great team hope we can make playoffs but if we lose its okay!"
Its like night and day
They will have 1 after this year's Finals ^_^
@mushroom, Wow, I completely agree with you! It's really sad, though. I wonder if LBJ's ego rubbing off on his has also affected his work ethic...
Boston has got Terry now who's 3 years younger than allen, better perimeter defense and shoots threes just as good if not better. We have upgraded our big three. Mia is going down.
sucks about boshs health hopefully he makes a comeback someday
From 2:38 - 3:02....that is the most important telltale moment of this entire video.
Differnce boston had 5 years together and heat had 4 and 2 would still be here because they were getting old they traded them which is smart
It was smart to trade them, but I think they held onto Rondo a few seasons too long. It was obvious the guy had a bit too much talent for the Celtics to tank properly, and nobody was going to cough up anything big to the Celts because the Celts had nothing to offer after the big 3 left - except Rondo, which meant they weren't going to be able to put together a championship team until they got rid of him. It sucks when franchises have all-star talent, such as Rondo, but they can't put any pieces together due to the fact the player wins his team too many games for them them to get a nice draft pick.
Look at Lebron, the first time he was on the Cavs.. They got him NO talent for so long because he was just too damn good. He would carry that whole team on his dick, but one man can't win it all. I think these teams are getting A LOT smarter now. They know that if you don't have a championship caliber team(or playoff bound team - depending on your city and situation) then you just gotta go into rebuild mode. I think a huge flaw with the NBA is the salary caps. Teams like the Lakers should almost NEVER have a bad season because they're one of the wealthiest teams in the NBA - this means they can afford to get the talent. Not to mention the fact they're in LA - a fairly desirable location compared to the likes of the Timberwolves or Pistons. I'm not hating on LA by any means as they have done very well for most of their franchises existence, but what I'm pointing out is how flawed the system can truly be. You need to have set salary caps on teams - to prevent monopolizing things. There's a reason why the big 3 could happen in Miami, but it will never happen to the Timberwolves... location and money. Either way, I think increasing the salary caps next year is slightly stupid as it won't help out anyone really. All the players are just going to expect to get paid more, which means all that "extra money" will just be given to them - rather than trying to help teams expand their rosters and shit.
Miami my team but damn that video put it all in perspective for me.. Why they gota go do it that way x_x
Class Boston has more indeed
The Boston big 3 is just more modest & have more experience as to where Miami's big 3 is more talented & athletic
Two completely different views to the same thing, amazing.
But recently D-Wade has seemed more of a punk on the court if anything, with Lebron's ego rubbing off on him. I used to love watching him play before the 2010 season (where he lost the Celtics in the playoffs). His athleticism, and skill set was amazing to watch until I watched him fly around thinking he owned the world with Lebron, trucked Paul Pierce, Yanked Rondo down which led to broken elbow, breaking Kobe's nose, and even if they can be unintentional, he definitely has the look in his eyes
heat are in their prime with wade, lebron, and bosh. The celtics big 3 got together in the back end of their careers.
I like both #respect stop the hates people wonder why 👑 lebron had so many hates now i know why😂😂😂😂but for now #lets go celtics #lets go kyrie the unguardable point guard ever👍👌👏👏👏
god i'm going to miss the boston three party
miami heat 2 time champs - celtics 1 time champ
wade look so funny in this video lmaooooo
***** yeah but not by the big 3 jajajajajajajajajaajaaajajajajajaaajajaj
aj
We already got... Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, not eight, not nine, not ten, not eleven, not twelve, not thirteen, not fourteen, not fifteen, not sixteen, but 17 championships and we gone get our 18th before you get another! We are better! #BLEEDGREEN #OnceACelticAlwaysACeltic #BOSTONSTRONG #BANNER18 #BeatTheHeat
Might wanna check on those *astounding* stats from the rest of the entourage. Until now, Miami hasn't played anyone close to OKC... lets just wait two weeks and see who brings out the four wins.
difference is Miami's Big 3 is now 2-0 against Boston's Big 3 when the playoffs came around.
Both are infinitely more respectable than the Golden State Warriors*.
But the heat could have done a press conference the same way the celtics did. They didnt have to go on stage and make a huge deal out of it before the team even had a pracice.
A lot of over hyped bullshit in Miami. The dream is over now.
this make them look stupid honestly I'm not tryin to hate but them made such a big ass deal of them that they can arguably the the best 3 play nope the spurs big 3 are the best stuck together for so long n have gone through ups n downs especially last year n enjoy playing together I'm glad they won it they are well deserved n as well the coach n the whole team spurs nation! (:
OKC beat the defending champs, and the two teams that made up more than half of last decade's championships. The way they're stacked, it'll be hard not to see them win in at least 5. Humble and hungry young guys playing for a small city vs. over blasted egos that are quite frankly, more hollywood than LA, in the party city of Miami.
It's not hard to pick the more likeable team unless you just love Lebron.
WTF who gon stop LeBron nd d-wade and imagine chris bosh playin like he was in toronto
Yup. Closer to the WWE than any other sport. Character-drive, made for TV entertainment.
This is pretty unfair, the Boston clips are of a press conference speaking to sports reporters and the Miami clips are of a fan event where they're clearly trying to fire up the crowd.
Funny because where's Ray now?
Anyone notice how much Lebron sounds like Forrest Griffin?
The boston big 3 acted classy after wining their championship
Clearly Miami knows how to party better.
