Boston Celtics Comeback: '02 NBA East Finals Game 3 (1 of 5)

[Dxh096020]

Jason kidd was a beast during these years

[DeanAndMarty]

Pierce has changed sooo much! (not in skill, in physical appearence) Go celtics!

[siege86]

@DeanAndMarty he got all fat lol not dissing him, hes my favorite player

[elvisniperx]

is this 2002? it feels like it's 1970's or sumthin;

[boygalak]

paul pierce was an underrated superstar throughout his career specially in the early 2000's , everybody is takin bout tmac vs ai but look pierce right now ! paul pierce looks looks like a top 5 player back then

[siege86]

@boygalak its because hes not as flashy

[TheStinkNasty]

i remember watching this game, i was going for the Nets, and it was a heartbreaker

[Kruegerisgod]

Byron Scott sees the Celtics in his nightmares.hahaha

[a709198315]

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

[DemonToad14]

It would have been better if the Celtics and Lakers faced back then in 2002 than the Nets :D

[Air23Davis]

Antoine Walker was the shit as a Celtic in his 1st Stint.

Him and Pierce if they had more help.. could've been relevant.

that year Walker averaged 22pg and pierce 25ppg...the rest of the team averaged 10ppg or less...no help whatsover!!

[DrSanto91]

@Air23Davis blame jim obrien for letting pierce and walker basically running the team, that is why doc rivers is a way better coach and also if they had chauncey billups, and good supporting cast of players, celtic basketball would have been healthy again.

[Air23Davis]

@DrSanto91

Im wondering why nobody wanted to play for the Celtics between

the end of birds era till 02. i know they stunk for a bit but its a huge market...

[GABZodIna]

too bad antoine walker is bankrupt now :( and playing in the d-league..

LEGENDARY GAME... Thats all I can say about this Legendary, Celtics 2010-2011 NBA World Champs this is our year!!!! Thumbs up if anyone agrees.

[onblock7]

@MrLos8 I will remember where I was at the time and a Nets fan at the time that day forever! That game is one I remember well and where I was.

[Chojisensei]

Only New Jersey... Only New Jersey...

[mikec62978]

Thanks so much for posting... What a great game in Celtics history!

[xbuildanempirex]

antoine walker...the inspiration? haha. i love it.

[dedserious93]

This was the beginning of a new era...I'll never forget this day as long as I live ... everyone started heading out the door ...like we suck we lost again blah,blah,blah...then it happened a fucking miracle ...everyone ran back to my crib cause I was yelling ...WE'RE COMING BACK!!!! ... I too wish Tonie would of won with us ...but I'm really glad he did win one w/ The Heat.

[yokiisthename]

miss THIS Antoine Walker.

[bostonredsox49]

What's just as impressive is that the Nets won the next 3 games after losing this one to go down 2-1. You would think that blowing it this way would really wreck a team....

[Kruegerisgod]

I remember this game way back when Paul just had Antoine,and Kenny Anderson.One of the best.ever

[rickmei3072]

bodyofwater I am 5 8 and I dunk all the time in official games. I m in my high school's varsity team and my dunking impresses everyone (the girls lol). It was seriously really easy, I just followed the nba workout program over at (50 inch vertical [dot] com) - anyone can do it

[nickgators]

i love mike breen

[Kruegerisgod]

@nickgators He's badass.I give him that.Bang!!!!!!!

[nickgators]

@Kruegerisgod yea congrats to your celtics im a magic fan

[Kruegerisgod]

@nickgators Thanks but nothing has been done yet.Get me on that.

[nickgators]

@Kruegerisgod good luck vs lakers 

[Kruegerisgod]

@nickgators Hope you guys come back strong next season for another playoff run

[bostonredsox49]

@nickgators

I was worried for a minute about Orlando coming back lol

[nickgators]

@bostonredsox49 yea i thought it could happen but it didnt good luck in game 6

[leroywest3218]

bodyofwater I am an awesome 5'9 white guy and I am able to dunk on 11 foot rims. Anyone can do it, you just need to follow the right training program. I personally followed the 1 from 50inch vertical[dot]com but just about any training prog is fine as long as they work which many do not

Boston Celtics Comeback: '02 NBA East Finals Game 3 (1 of 5)

[vernonbryant47]

#VIDEOPOSTERID# you play ball? you have to check this out - 50inch vertical[dot]com - It's a specialized training program that will def help you begin dunking without even going to the gym , it's optional!

Boston Celtics Comeback: '02 NBA East Finals Game 3 (1 of 5)

[glennlweis0849]

bodyofwater I am 5 7 and I dunk nonstop. I m in my high school's ball team and my dunking impresses the crowd (esp the girls lol). It was honestly extremely easy, I just followed the nba training workout over at | 50 inch vertical [dot] com | - I m sure you can probably do it too

Boston Celtics Comeback: '02 NBA East Finals Game 3 (1 of 5)

[hotmoney5000]

good game but regardless both of these teams were heavily inferior to the kings and lakers

[freddyevan25]

eh bodyofwater, if you want to improve in basketball, you have to start following the nba training prog. I used the nba a real workout at |50 inch vertical [dot] com|. I haven t even told this to my basketball teammates yet lol

Boston Celtics Comeback: '02 NBA East Finals Game 3 (1 of 5)

[usceltics]

omfg this game was awsome. we need to make a move before the deadline. we gotta get ray allen out of here and sheed. IF WE CAN GET IGGY THE LAKERS WILL BE OUR BITCH!!!

[hotmoney5000]

both of these teams were definately inferior to the kings and lakers. the finals should've been the kings and the nets, which the kings would've won.

but i hate the lakers and celtics, they're like the yankees in baseball. like alright guys, it was cool, the first 10 times

[dedade8]

Hey guess what Celtics fans you guys still lost this series Buck Foston

[tyakack]

yeah and we won in 08 so fuck you bitch

[RageAgainstMachine45]

hahaha! hey nets fans, your team is the worst basketball program in the history of ....well ever loLLLL

[UnionKid15]

The greatest comeback in NBA history, thanks so much for posting this for us to see and//or watch..!!

[UnionKid15]

GO CELTICS!!

[cooldoug78]

All of the celtics fans during that were very smart. Game 3 Eastern Conference Finals? Why would they leave? anything can happen in the playoffs as proved in this game

[dxarmychairman]

a 9-0 run isn't a comeback, did they take the lead? did they win?

[UnionKid15]

Keep watching, we were down 21 points at the start of the 4th quarter and then went on to win the game.

[robman747]

wish walker was still with em

[VickAuc]

They were down by 19 and the crowd was still completely into the game. No way that would happen in most other cities.

[GymSkateFan]

down by 21

[kryzeenah]

Walker's finest...

[ELFC2008]

the best sg in the game

[alhex123]

dam this was in 02 it feels like a few years ago

[rahmatolah]

awesome game I remember watching this live

[coheedisamassacre]

btw paul pierce is amazing lets not talk shit

[coheedisamassacre]

i want kenny anderson back , lol

[UnionKid15]

I wish this game was on the history of the Boston Celtics, but the Celtics' big thing is championships, so forget about that. I loved these days, I wish I could watch the whole season over again! Haha, thanks for posting this, bro.!

[TiKayedge]

pierce rules!

[copyandpaste82481]

more like the boston fagets

Hahahahaha

LAKERS 4 LIFE

[DILLIGAF425]

learn how to spell

[UnionKid15]

Too bad your Lakers have lost in the Finals to the Celtics 9 out of 11 times, guy. 131-92? Very impressive game 6 when your Lakers needed to win.! And yes, take a spelling course or something.!

[11825code6]

Game 4, Paul Pierce misses a crucial free throw to tie the game.

He's great now, but this series meant nothing.

[KHayes666]

I actually was angry at Pierce for missing those 2 free throws at the end of game 4...if he hits those, they send the game into overtime where the Nets without Aaron Williams were not going to win.

That would have given the Celts a 3-1 series lead and would have broken the Nets completely for they would have lost back to back 20 point leads.

Nets won because Pierce started bricking free throws

[FireDannyAinge]

Exactly. Pierce MR So called star player cost us that series.

[MikeO113]

Pierce is god

[westside159]

Walker was so unique , he was one of the best powerforwards in history , he can bring the ball up and pass and rebound and shoot 3 pointers cold and can post you up .........

[willywonka899]

shut up please

[kassius786]

too bad the celts lost the series and got killed in game six.

[NJNetsFan5152433]

lol seemingly insurmountable.

The Nets this season have fallen from 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 22 point leads to lose. This is just one of their 1,000,000 collapses in the books.

[HKflame]

thanks for uploading

[GIGANTICNUTZ]

Pierce Pierce Pierce u the fucking man celtics fucking rule

[LuigiLaker]

I guess Celtics Pride is real...for some damn reason, Boston never dies..fuckin I know first hand from last year's world championship Game 4..from this game, from the Bird era, and even before then..the Leprachaun is f'n real..

[F430CS]

wow. W

[mivado]

even thoguh toine had his moments in boston, i never really liked his game.

he's about 6-10 shootin a bunch of 3's and he doesn't make most of them

and he has no post game

2 be honest, i'm glad boston got rid of him cuz they were never gonna win a champoinship wit his ass

[Search4Forever]

The funny thing about history is, it always repeats itself. Lakers, you come second once again.

[lakerfanbrad23]

the celtics have been on the bottom of the world for the past decade.. congratulations on a great year but don't hate on la, especially when they win the championship next year

[sa619sa]

fuck the Boston Celtics

[anylee34]

rofl

[GreggJulian]

Walker was gold with the C's. Very underated. I believe that's why O'Brien quit.

[mannyortiz36]

this video seems even more appropriate now then it did when i commented on it a week ago. only isted of walker and pierce it was pierce and allen and posey........but pierce is the key ingredient in both

[msunpredictable86]

The only thing hot about L.A is Candace Parker. GO CELTICS!!!

[mannyortiz36]

the first 20 second of this video sums up why they came back to win this game......antoine walker telling pierce to shut up, stand up, and put up.....it was an intangible walker had that could push the team to another level back then. now look at pierce.......in all 3 playoff clinchers he was the leading point getter this year

[zbbt]

Lakers forever. We got hot girls and plenty of sunshine. Celtics havent won in over twenty years and that trend will hopefully continue.

[aym1001]

yeah you've got hot girls... playing on the court

[Vysniuz]

LMAO, aym1001, good one !

[kingtoooooth]

OWNED!

[jdoc92]

where did u get the clips from

[jetmijares]

my favorite celtic lineup!!!

[cooltu2000]

record don't mean anything all u gootto do bea them 1 game in bostn thai they lose thhe series spur gonna beat like noh gm 7

[cooltu2000]

this team is constanly skating on thin ice they will get their ass kick by DET,SA,or LA fuck this team. loser almost got beat by the hawk don't deserve a tittle

[4daPeace]

And what about 66-16 team? :P History won't remember first round, chamionship is all that matters, especially for this team. Go Green!

[ace11rothstein]

Nobody should listen to a guy who TYPES broken English. Maybe if he repeats and passes the 4th grade, he's worth listening to.

[redtubeer666]

yah right..blah blah blah

[jlawrence13]

What an awesome game. I am so glad I ended up not turning it off when I watched it the first time.

[WSchamps04]

Such a great game, awesome vid dude

[TheTrooper506]

Man Antoine Walker used to kick ass.

[mcxpart1]

he never saw a three point shot he didn't like.

[koldapu]

and the lakers swept the nets in the finals.

[rusty33089]

bofill it happened like 6 years ago, how about living in the present? Boston Celtics will win the NBA championship title this year.. i guarentee it

[bofill5]

Who won this series??? the nets led by one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game at his prime, and oh yeah he averaged a triple double for the series.

[S4N3x]

Nets ended up going to the Finals

[abe1026]

this is how the gardens gonna be on sunday. cant wait.

[TRJ22487]

Watching this never gets old. Greatest memories of my early teen years

[mtllcafan1]

I was at this game. What a thrill it was.

[jdmorwat]

i love boston cant get enough of them hope they win a ring this year i been waiting to go to a cetics parade my entire life(go celticsss)

[toineson]

i miss this 01-02 celtics team. so much heart. many outstanding comebacks like this throughout the season.

[MyutubeAccount614]

come backs are great and everything, but I prefer this team better,  why... Because they are so good they dont need to "come back" from anything. They dominate from the start, assuring wins from the beginning. Not fixing problems that were made.

[MyutubeAccount614]

and you cant ask for more heart than from people like Kevin Garnett, paul pierce, eddie house, etc! lol GO CELTICSSS there taking it all this year!!

[toucheyang]

This was Good, but this year, Boston is Great

[amorizio]

anyone notice the color on the nets jersey is absolutely disgusting

[MyutubeAccount614]

im NOT A NETS FAN, but the color isnt that bad, its different. Now there like 5 colors each team fuckin shares, yellow, green, red, etc.

[NBaBall3r26]

ok so wat the NETS made it 2 years in a row 2da finals and did they win the Finals? no!! they got their azz swept 2 da Lakers !! Next they lose 2 da Spurs!! they cant beat a gud team when it counts so stfu .. and just wait till VC leaves NJ.

[NBaBall3r26]

its the Nets .....what do u expext and every1 can make a comeback against the NETS

[jhay2x05]

are you nuts???...it's just only the NETS???...hell fuck you bitch...Kidd was still in his prime,...they got to the finals 2 consecutive times...during those years they are one of the best team in the east...so if you will just it's only the nets..go home, and drink some milk bitch...

[toucheyang]

so mean.

[unoriginallusername]

he's right

[TRJ22487]

Jason Kidd was the most valuable player that year I dont care that Duncan won it. Kidd took a laughing stock of a franchise and immediately got them to the Finals twice.

[kingz1771]

and now all hes doing now is shooting air balls in dallas

[nistle2]

I remember watching this and going nuts - such a great game for the Celtics. Of course the Nets took the series but I have such great memories of this comeback - so much fun.

[AlaskanHillbillyz]

boston sucks. go cavs!

[mattisaballa23]

thats why boston has the best record? and where are the cavs in the standings? not up to boston

[Kasenycred]

This team was honestly more exciting tham this year's team. Pretty much a trio of old all star vets now. It's nice to see them winning, but it's not as much enjoyable as it was back in 02. It's always nicer to see guys you drafted, mature, get better and turn a team around. Management was dumb with alot of the moves after 02. They knew their backs were against the wall so they made some big trades this year.

[nochey78]

are you serious????

i personally wouldn't care if the players got drafted by my team or no,as long as they bring it home in june..

[shotguncure2]

Wow, i wholeheartedly second that. nochey, youre a dumbass. Why doesnt the nba just put all the good players on one team and let them win?... It ruins the whole spirit of the game. Im totally the massive amount of trades thatve been on since 02, it completely ruins it...

[TRJ22487]

I completely agree that 2002 was more exciting than 2008. I hate Danny Ainge, such an assclown. I hate all the trading that goes on in sports these days. It's impossible to relate with teams anymore. Hell there are very few players that are on the same team as 2002.

[NetsFan2k]

im a nets fan, but this performance was a true feel-good comeback of determination and passion. great job antoine walker

[reggyray]

Watching this just makes me smile.

[BALLIN02130]

i still get goose bumps watching this game.. Paul Pierce was in the zone..

[xQSquaredx]

Pierce was skinny back then. He put on some weight, but he's just as damn good.

[georgeboy180]

No, he put on some major muscle. He may not be ripped but he has some pumped biceps now.

[xQSquaredx]

Yup. I hope it's not The Juice.

[Gatriano]

Randylf5 the celtics jst beat the magic yday by 12 points. 103-91 .. so shove yo comment up yo ass

[TONYROMOIS4REAL]

boston could go all the way to the finals but asfar as wiining it well i think they can but it wont be easy vs san antonio or phoenix but they might shock the world and actaully do it, they look great this year.

[BOIBOI2658]

The C's are back!!! Even better then they were at this point in time!

[asdkljcnaocasfdsa]

hehehe you don't see antoine walker playing like THAT anymore!!

[BergenBaller123]

lol they still lost at the playoffs to nets

[TZdravkov]

CELTICS RULES !!!

[Randylf5]

hahahah celtics lost to the second best time the magics baby

[januaryweek]

what do you mean hahahah? they're 8-1 and lost by 2 and tried to go for the win instead of the tie. nobody thought they were going undefeated just that they were going to contend in the east and thats what they're doing. so hahahah at your ridiculousness.

[Randylf5]

u just mad they lost they overrated once they have a great season then next year we could say they a good ass team

[Beholdendamage]

Shut the fuck up. and learn how to write you dumb bitch

[TONYROMOIS4REAL]

hey magic fan, dont hate on boston let's see if magic can beat boston in a playoff serie's i bet orlando magic dont!

[bs3d]

i remeber this game it wa awesome( iwasnt there i watched it on TV)

[rrabd5]

TheBigThree

[RedBirdy67]

I love the Pacers but sadly they will be crushed by the Celtics tonight...

[januaryweek]

fuck the nets. the big three are gonna beat them today

[GGboy1987]

they did 5-0 wolves/celts fan and kgs my fav player in the nba :)

[Randylf5]

nets all day

[silverade34]

i`m in love of him

[MrHuddo]

In love **with him

[Msucc3]

i was there it was so sick going crazy

[drangelsjc]

[rockinSEAN33]

ya kg ray allen paul peirce dat is kill

[fam9110]

yea i agree he looks like he use to be skinnier, still an awesome player

[stilltheman345]

pierce has put on some weight

[stuntlikedaddy]

You guys are awesome, those last few comments are great

[djkey322]

dont you suck your mothers DICK???????????????

[SuperGamer7]

I remember this! I hope we return to this kind of glory....AND BEYOND!

Go Celtics! GREEN 17!

[KHayes666]

Ironic how the Nets won the series and got embarrassed by the Lakers. Pierce and Walker would have ripped Kobe and Shaq a new one

[BF33210]

Don't even think about it. Shaq and Kobe would have destroyed Boston in the same way they did New Jersey.

[KHayes666]

New Jersey wasn't a 3 point shooting team, they were a fast break team and Boston simply couldn't catch them. The Lakers were known more for their inside game and the Celtics took Ben Wallace out in the Detroit series so who say's Battie and Walker wouldn't have stopped Shaq?

[BF33210]

I still don't think they could've won anyways because Shaq would be too dominant for them to handle and if I remember correctly, Kobe was on fire that postseason and who's to say they would stop Kobe?

[KHayes666]

I suppose....still it would've been nice to see Celtics/Lakers again in the finals

[MarioLaker]

Are you a complete and total dumbass? The Lakers would have swept the sorry ass leprachauns just as easily as they did the worthy Nets. You C's fans need to find some brains..

[KHayes666]

Kenny anderson couldn't guard Jason Kidd to save his life...Anderson would have at least kept Horry, Shaw and the others under control and if you think for one second Kobe could have kept Pierce guarded YOU'RE the dumbass

[MarioLaker]

So you think you could have beaten us? Ok you're a complete fuckin moron. IF YOU COULDNT BEAT THE NETS HOW WERE YOU GONNA BEAT US U STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!?! Typical brains or lack thereof for a Boston fan..

[KHayes666]

Celtics always find ways to beat the Lakers...its tradition :-)

The Lakers would have been no match for the Celtics because they couldn't guard the 3. The Nets fast break wore out the Celts and the Lakers of 2002 were not the showtime of the 80's

Speaking of the 80's. its a shame the Lakers took the easy way out and tanked it on purpose against the Rockets so they wouldnt have been embarrassed by the Celtics in 86 doncha think :-)

[MarioLaker]

Shaq and Kobe..period.You can put 14 grade school kids on the roster with them and they still would have won..

[FireDannyAinge]

I doubt the celtics in 02 would have beaten the Lakers but they would have given them a tougher time then NJ. The Celtics swept the Lakers that year in the regular season.

[Rucks90]

True. Boston probably made a six game series

[JZ2001JC]

Yeah uhm, the real winner of the West Finals in 2002 was the Sacramento Kings. Darn you NBA refs---Game 6, and many other crucial points of the 2002 West Finals were screw jobs in favor of the Lakers.

[G0000MBA]

yes true.

i think 02 is when walker banked a 3 ftw, and kobes shot after that got taken away when he got it off with 0.1 left.
