[elvisniperx]

anderson looks like Tupac.

[9elephant9]

type "short guy dunks" in the youtube search box to see a 5'5 guy dunking a 10ft hoop

[oldmanwithers1]

David Stern the jew rat, he needs to be put under investigation

[angrykyo]

this was when everybody were rooting for the Nets since Jason Kidd made the Nets Championship contenders.

[playoffexpert1]

I was watching at least the beginning part of this part, I definitely remember having the tv on when the beautiful theme came on and that shot of Boston

[859slacker]

Man I love that the Celtics pick up a lot of Kentucky players. UK and Boston all the way

[iSkywalkerP]

im a laker fan, but dont u guys think David Stern and refs were really up to something in these years. Like we know the refs had a part in kings-lakers series and Boston was in the east finals, it just looked like Stern was pushing for Lakers-Celtics in 2002 but he got Lakers-Nets in the Finals. Im not saying theres a conspiracy but Im sure if the refs were trying to push LA into the Finals, they were also pushing Boston.

[Uconnjoke]

the best comeback in NBA history

[BDX169]

@Uconnjoke hell yeah

[luissyquia]

if boston won this series, it woulda been BOSTON LA!!!

[Rodzilla97]

i was real sorry to hear what happened to rodney rogers

[xXEWABB0iXx]

wat happen to him

[Gastumto]

right click > google search

[pats14fann01]

This is the beginning of the great decade of Boston Sports THIS decade. The Patriots winning SB 36. When the Celtics and their crowd saw that trophy it was like.... WE have a chance to win a championship.

Hey the Celtics in this 4th qtr was NOT going to let the Nets laugh them off of the parque.

[LmOnAy]

um. didn't the celtics take a 6 year vacation before being relevant again in 2008?

[pats14fann01]

No. The Celtics Management decided to BLOW this team up.... saying it wasn't going to last. 2003; 2nd round exit, 2005 first round exit (desptie winning the Atlantic division) 2004,06,07 not make playoffs.

[LmOnAy]

eh who knows what they could have achieved. i feel the pain. paul pierce some good years earlier in his career, just like kobe kinda wasted his prime 05-07. see you in the finals man.

[Magratheazaphod]

hope rodney rogers recovers

[termanogue]

I don't mean this to spite anyone, but is it just me or has pierce gained weight since then? (don't mean muscle weight.)

[HowzdaWeatha]

it is muscle weight

[termanogue]

lol

[Indianbrkdncer]

no it's not

[PlyrJM25]

I Find it funny how David Stern proclaims triumphantly "Basketball is back in Boston."

Sorry Stern your 6 years early.

That comeback in the finals last year was waaaay better than this one. Simply because it meant more against the Lakers.

[KHayes666]

oh hell no......THIS meant a hell of a lot more than last year's comeback.

Us Celtic fans have gotten used to Finals comebacks and come from behind wins against the Lakers.

However, the 2001-02 season was so magical and so unexpected, NOBODY thought they were going to win this game when they were down 21 going into the 4th.

In terms of overall impact, game 4 last year meant more for it propelled them to the title, but this game was so unexpected it will always hold a special place in my heart

[TempoComeculo90]

nobody thought the celtics were gonna beat the lakers after they were losing by 21 last yar also!

and it meant even more, they won a championship, so you tell me wich one meant more

[KHayes666]

From a fan's standpoint, anytime a team wins a championship it means a hell of a lot.

But that 01-02 was soooooo surprising that you couldn't believe what you were seeing. The team that won 66 games last year, if they were down by 21 you knew they could at least make a game out of it. The 01-02 team that only won 49 games it was a miracle and the building was vibrating that day.

In the long run last year's comeback meant more championship wise but those fans around in 02 will never forgetthis

[Rucks90]

I agree. Nobody thought Boston would reach the Playoffs especially the Eastern Conference Finals.

[Indianbrkdncer]

lucky for you boston fans they didn't get to the finals cuz lakers were about to destroy them

[munir99]

antoine walker used to be the best. i remember when i was in grade 4 watchin this shit live i was in awe. look at his stats from his prime look at his talent. i love it

[st0royale]

@munir99 look at his fg%

walker shot like 40% for his career

[Kruegerisgod]

@munir99 i agree he was great with pierce it's a shame the supporting cast wasn't that great

[xxchris023xx]

@munir99 hell ya i cant believe when he was in my heat he used to miss easy layups and crap alot of people almost forget he used to be the fucking man!! i used yo love this team pierce and walker to beast

[xxchris023xx]

four more views and the video will have 77,777 views lol

[AKC214]

the real team is the miami heat

[BlackaDenBlack]

Aaron Williams was clutch in this game.

[noonevincecarterfan]

the celtics are a much better team than the lakers and their chemestry is better too. something the celtics certantly gave is great fans and the lakers don't. lakers "fans" don't support their team when they don't play well or play from behind, but real fans do

[googleyueroy]

boston and LA are different

besides even LA doesnt play well

they have kobe

he could bring amazing stuff not everygame but sometines

pierce cant do that except this time but kobe has done too many stuff

sorry dude

[allinonethegreat]

Fuck the Celtics Wait til Bynum gets back. Kobe is still the best player in the game.

[roidpoleese]

You Fakers will not even make it past the first round

next year.....you base the team around 1 good player. the Celtics have a great team.

It took a long time to get Boston a team again, but what a

team it is. LA was out of that last game by the end of the 2nd quarter....they played without heart.What is up with

Phil Jackson? Did he have no motivation for them? lol

[thegovenator69]

i bet your a bandwagon fan that doesnt even like the celtics till this year lakers will be back in the finals next year ready to win us another championship so many laker haters because they know kobe is the best and he proves it...sure if hes the best byhimself he wont win but he will have a better supporting cast of players to win next year

[jjonah10]

we'll see.........

kobe is the best player but he has to be the best player within the framework of the team,ask m.j.,as for now,FUCK YOURSELF ASSHOLE !!!! tang ina ka

[zlylkai]

im not saying this to be a smart-ass or anything like that but do you think this series was being manipulated? What are everyones thoughts

[jjonah10]

yes it was..

it was manipulated by the big 3,hahaha they manipulated the gaykers

[mannyortiz36]

gotta love it when someone thinks the bruins and redwings meet in the playoffs in the same confrence. btw the bruins did the red wings and everyonelse in the league a favor by exposing montreat as a bunch of frauds

[DevinLegend]

what the hell dose hokey have to do with it this is bascket ball

[mannyortiz36]

ask the dimwit who brought up the bruins losing to "detoit" not me

[sisterblister77]

Fuck I hated this New jersey team, bunch of ugly assholes. Got their asses kicked by the Lakers. Who cares about the Nets, nobody wanted them to win.

[liltr44]

And man talk shit when you win a championship in the 2000s because we've won 3 since the last time you won one.

[JamesBeam420]

I remeber last year when you won the fist 2 games against Lebron, and then Lebron beat you 4 straight. And notice I said "Lebron" and not the Cavs, because Lebron by himself beat your entire team. Celtics in 6, wanna put money on it?

[liltr44]

No I don't want to put money on it BECAUSE THE REFREE WANT YOU AND THE LAKERS TO PLAY IN THE FINALS. ANd Hang some tissue on THE PATROITS. How about that. The League wants the Lakers and Celtics. And Lebron didn't beat us by himself. Bobby Gibson, Big Z, Larry Dam hughes stepped up. And oh yeah the REFS! People hate Detroit so much that anything that could up life the city they undercut! It's about money Boston vs. La gives them money. So f*** it have it, idk sports is nothing but CHEATING!

[JamesBeam420]

Hey man the Wings will win teh cup again this year so don't feel too bad. And the Refs are AWFUL and the Celtics have been a victem of bad cals throughout the first 2 rounds and Detroit will get calls in their favor at home becaue the home team always does. Ultimitely though the Celts are just a deeper team Offensivly and KG is a beast on defense and wants it more than anyone. And bringing up the Patriots is a low blow, in the words of T.Owens, "That's just not fair, that's my quarterback."

[liltr44]

Look the only reason IF THE CELTICS BEAT US IS BECAUSE THEY WANT IT MORE. The pistons could have 4 championships but complancy and DAM REFS TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY FROM US! I mean come on google up game 5 of last year and you'll see Lebron traveling. Year before that we scratch Wade lord forbid bump into him at the scoring table foul. The pistons can't get respect. 6 years to the conference championship and we never are on ESPN, talk radio. And the Ref's conform the disrespect we recieve.

[ace11rothstein]

Why are you two discussing the Pistons? What do the Pistons have to do with THIS clip?

[liltr44]

We're Discussing this clip because it's fun to argue SPORTS!

[ace11rothstein]

OKAY but why not discuss this on a clip of Game 5 of the 1987 ECF then? This is Nets-Celtics and if I'm not mistaken, the Celtics beat the Pistons in 5 gams to get to this pt.

[liltr44]

Blah Blah who really cares about New Jersey. The Pistons and Celtics are battling and i'm talking bout the Pistons all in fun.

[jlawrence13]

I loved this game. Too bad we lost the series, but it was still a great game.

[pats14fann01]

You can say that again. For those who actually watched this 4th qtr it had to be thrilling!!!!

CELTICS!!!!!

[WSchamps04]

Kerry Kittle's jock is still on the floor after what happens at 4:57. Ridiculous move by PP34

[Raford146]

kerry kittles. lmao

[samo5y86]

wooow wut a meltdown by the nets...but then again, they still did win this series...lol

[golddish]

the celtics are the greatest team ever. i dont care 'bout anything u say. if u think another team is better........your wrong. no doubt about it.u can like anyone u want, but just remember .......THE CELTICS R #1. BOOOOOOYAAA!

[liltr44]

The Celtics are trash golddish and we will use the Celtic jesrseys to wipe our assess with once we stomp ya'll in the conference finals. And yes it's your Masters Detroit. Come on KG choker, Ray Allen remember him crying, and Paul Perice can't stop Joe Johnson. Pay Homeage Boston before us Detroiters tell the Pistons to sweep you. And bump the season series because the Bulls had the season series against us last year and their our Property to.

[JamesBeam420]

the Pistons are a bunch of child molesters

[liltr44]

OOOH great comback james the pistons are child molestors. Yeah they are because THE CELTICS are the children they molest

[JamesBeam420]

Game one: Celtics 86 Pistons 76. 30 seconds left in the game. Talk shit when the Pistons actually win a game against the Celts ... bitch

[Raford146]

Bacardi Silver. Hmmm

[diablotga]

Ummmmmmm NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO. The Celtics r gonna wipe the floor w/ the OVER THE HILL PISTONS. THEY'RE 2 FUCKIN OLD. Billups cnt keep up w/ Rajon, Rip is OVERRATED. And Sheed cnt stop KG

[liltr44]

diabtoga Chauncey is TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG for RonHOE and Rasheed is way better then Bitch G. WE OWN YOU PROPERTAY PAY HOMEAGE. take pride in your little win against the Hawks because Lebron James is abbout to be rape the big three.

[JamesBeam420]

Chauncy is TOOOOOO INJUREDDDD to do ANYTHINGGGGGG ATTT ALLL. He's done. Game one Celtics.

[liltr44]

James you've won and just do me a favor buy the Ref's something nice. Because them b***** get on my nerves. I mean we can't even touch Paul Perice without hearing a whistle but Rondo yanks Rip and Rasheeds arm numerous times and NOTHING! NOTHING! Game 2 1-1 if not you still can't win on the road. But the Ref's decide who win what now don't they.

[JamesBeam420]

There were plenty of bad calls both ways, so go get yourself a tissue and hang on to it because you'll need it for game 2.

[liltr44]

and diaboltga where was all this tough talk last season? Where was this big bad Celtics talking last year? Look you all are bandwagon punks who didn't have the HEART defend your team last year. Ask Dwight who Rashees supposedly couldn't stop! Ask Jameer Nelson whose way faster and Better then RonHoe who chauncey abuses. You are my property build me a dam statue right now!

[JamesBeam420]

You are SO fucking dumb man.Are you serious? Where were we last year? Come on now man, I'll tell you where we were, KG was in Minnesota, Ray Alllen was in Seatlle, Eddie House and Leon Powe were in Miami, Sam Cassell was in Minnesota, P.J Brown was playing golf somewhere ... shall I continue dude, come on now you can't be this stupid dog we're a new team this year. Better hope the Red Wings win, cuz teh Pistons are out of steam.

[liltr44]

James did you not see the PACERS PISTONS SERIES in 04. WE LOST GAME 1 AND WON GAME 2 this isn't the NFL where we play one game and it's done. NO we play 7 games. I mean come on New Orleans went up 2-0 on San Antino and where are they. detroit will win game 2 and besides you needed this game more then us so don't kid yourself we aren't push overs.

[JamesBeam420]

And this bandwagon shit, we won 24 games last year man, I've always been a big Celts fan but I'm not exactly gonna throw a parade for a team that wins 24 games and comes in last place. If the Pistons were in last place you'd still love em, but you'd probobly watch the Tigers instead ... oh wait the Tigers suck, scratch that.

[liltr44]

Hmmm Where Are the Bruins right now? Oh yeah out of the playoffs because of the Mighty RED WINGS!

[JamesBeam420]

Ummm .... I'm pretty sure the Canadiens beat the Bruins ... But yeah I think Detroit will likely win the Cup this year.

[liltr44]

Who cares about HOCKEY! Joe Louis is empty for every GAME! AND WE'RE WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN BASKETBALL! Chauncey, And Rasheed struggle and we only lose by ten you ask me we lucked out and the REF's Should be executed and throwed off a mountian I mean God forgive me but the refs are just dirty now a days Tim Donaghue. Who the hell knows what real in sports anymore! Hell Take the Championship and be grateful the refs didn't hate you/ I guess so be the motto for all champions

[JSnugz]

This was such a great game. I remember watching it and the celts were just gettin their asses handed to them. Then after Toine's speech they just came out fired up in the 4th and you knew the Nets couldn't stop it. Anyone else remember Game 4? We almost won that and made it a 3-1 series lead but Pierce missed some crucial free-throws at the end.

[NewEnglandSportsGuy]

I bet if you put this whole 01-02 team back together now they would still be this good, but I'm happier with the 07-08 celtics!

[SuperGamer7]

I love the Celtics! The history, the tradition, and the pride is back!

Also, let's be honest. The NBA, as a whole, benefits from having the Celtics be a contender again! I swear the ratings for the Playoffs, and the Finals (If Boston makes it)

will skyrocket!

[dopecity666]

Pistons are great, Celtics are great... They're going to be in the East Finals

[celera11]

STERN is great....

[pats14fann01]

From 21-down @ the start of the 4th quarter & the challenge of Antoine Walker to the Truth... to 12. Boy what else could happen?

[Realistic82]

Ok yes the Celtics are good this year but all these people that are sayin they are gonna win the championship are crazy as hell, if anyone in the east is goin to the finals...it's the Pistons. Hate if u want but the celtics can NOT beat there 4 games in a row and they can run with the Pistons for 7 games...yes they are good i'm not hatin but they sucked ass for years then all of a sudden they get a good record and they're automatically gonna win the championship...come on man lol

[ajlckwd3]

Sure they sucked for years. But then they acquire KG and Ray Allen? The energy is back in Boston, and when playoffs come, it's going to be hard to stop them. KG, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce have been waiting their whole careers for a NBA championship. They're not going to blow it.

[ill4shorty]

They don't have to beat them 4 games IN A ROW nor do they necessarily have to play 7 games against them. It can be 4-2 or 5-1.

[digapigmy]

Good call. The Pistons Celtics series will probably end 5-1.

Dumb ass.

[eameagher]

A series can't end 5-1...it's best of 7...DUMBASS!

[heyheydreamz]

sarcasm, my friend.

lilshorty predicted a 5-1 series. 

thanks for playing.

[digapigmy]

Good call. If the Celtics play the Pistons in the playoffs, the series will probably end 5-1.

Dumb ass.

[reggyray]

That guy says "(player name) puts it in!" way too much.

[SkipNYK]

[diplo33]

[SuperGamer7]

Also, The "NBA on NBC" theme is one of the best in sports!

[Ihavealwayswondered]

[SeanOB43]

You might just be God for posting this

[KOBE24THEMVP]

haha celtics suck now. When my lakers came to your town u guys cheered MVP for my guy, KOBE

[bird711]

i was there, and yes, kobe was amazing. but true celtic fans were not chanting that. It was the hundreds of Laker fans that were there

[FireDannyAinge]

My friend was there and she said everyone was chanting it. NOT just the Laker fans.

[Lee95]

Which is why Celtics fans are twats.  How can all sit there and give Kobe and the Laker fans all the satisfaction by cheering for that rapist?? You Lousy Nazis. You better hate the Lakers as much as you hate the Knicks, the prick

[justblaze3417]

hahaha a kobe rapist comment, get the fuck over it he didn't rape anyone and no one gives a shit about that anymore, I love how dumbass kobe haters always go back to that because it's all you've got, pathetic

[34RedsTeamForever33]

ur faggy fans chanted, not the ones who wear green homo

[Kidz24]

NBC... I miss you way too much.

[Kizza02]

the celtics are getting owned rite now without pierce, 16 game losing streak.

[chickenparm33]

"Basketball is back in Boston." - David Stern
