Not going to lie, i'm a Cavs fan and this commercial gives me a good feeling. I was rooting for the Celtics in the championship, but after that in my opinion KG's attitude completely changed, I never knew he talked so much trash. Sorry to diss KG, Allen/Pierce=class act but KG is a dirty player(verbally,) in my opinion, I know people will disagree, still.. He's one of the best at what he does.
So my friend finally told me how he started dunking, he’s not even as tall as me but jumps over a foot higher! Apparently he used the training program over at snipurl[dot]com/nbatraining and gained 14 inches in his vertical leap! I'm in my first week of the program now and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start dunking!
my dad and i were in the car listening to sports radio and we heard the news and we pulled over into the breakdown lane to turn it up and listen then we got out of the car and danced on the side of the highway
I've been a fan since the early 70's and watched Cowens & Havlicek, and then the days of Bird/Parish & McHale (and Cornbread Maxwell too) in the 80's were awesome years. It's s been fabulous & awesome to see the Celt's winning this year.... and they're gonna finally bring home another Championship to Boston after soooo many long years. One more game. We love you KG! The Celt's rock!!!! Go Celtic's!
its really good to see the celts in the finals again i was only 10 years old when they last went........ever scince the passing of reggie lewis this team was never the same after that.The eric montross , dwayne schintzus, rick foxx , they just never seemed to come trhough ...they did have that spurt in 2002 but they didnt belong there. This is the chance BRING IT HOME KG..............
I loved this commercial, I've been a fan since the arly 70's and remember seeing Cowens & Havlicek at the Garden, and then Cornbread Maxwell in the 80's. Those were great teams. It's so awesome to see them playing amazing & fabulous... and they're gonna finally win another Championship after so many long years. Go Celt's!!!!! The Celtic's rock!
when i see this commercial i just wanna see k.g finally win a championship even tho am not from boston but i been watchin k.g play for a long time its time that k.g gets a ring i respect his game
OMFG, this commercial is like the BEST NBA commercial I've ever seen. It just makes makes everyone feel good inside no matter who you cheer for. BTW GO SPURS GO
I've been a C's fan since Pierce's rookie year, I was 13 years old at the time. In all my years of following the organization, the day this trade went down, in my opinion, was the greatest day in my years as a fan. Although, come playoff time, that could all change.
What a great commercial. Absolutely love it. Best line is when it says, "bring it home, baby make it soon". KG, bring that title home, back to where it belongs.
i feel like this commercial is personally thanking all of the diehard fans who sat around for the past decade watching a subpar team rooting for them despite the 20 win seasons. it feels good that after all the darkness of the 90s/early 2000s there is a light at the end of the tunnel named kg
I rewind the DVR over and over because of how this ad makes me feel. Which is the same way I remeber feeling, finding out about KG. Life long C's fan who has stuck it out for a team like this one with the "NEW" big 3! This is for you Paul Pierce. GOOD LUCK!!
KG is the greatest player to come straight from high school (sorry Kobe, Tracy) to the L. Year after year, night in and night out, he's mustered enough strength to put up 20-10-5. I love my Warriors, but there is no player in the league that deserves a championship more than the Big Ticket. Period.
omg, every time i see this commercial it brings a tear to my eye. i'm from mn and losing kg was the worst thing that happened to this state. respect the man and until he wins a title GO CELTICS!!
I was driving to work at 5 in the am when I heard the news. I wanted to get out of my car and run up and down the street waking the neighbors. This commercial sums up the way I was feeling perfectly.
Yea i agree with you, although I'm a huge NBA fan, and i do like the celtics, however they are not my fave team..but this commercial is so good & i think it's the best Where Amazing Happens commercial
that's a great ad. i grew up on Doc in Philly and then Patrick at GTown and on the Knicks - eg, I'm a lifelong celtics-hater. but that's a great ad. and it's hard to root against KG.
Boston fans, remember what happened when you assumed the Pats were gonna win it all. I'm not saying that New York's gonna show you up again, I'm just saying the NBA is more competitive than its been in years.
I can't say enough about what a great combination of sight and sound this commercial is. If you've never been lucky enough to be part fo a championship team, this commercial touches a part of your heart that is cold and dark. If you have won a championship on any level, you understand why thi sis such an amazing piece of work.
I am from Minnesota and the KG trade was the worst thing ever for the Timberwolves. That being said, I LOVE this commercial. I'm not a Celtics fans but it is such a touching commercial. I cry every time I see it.
Great song for basketball,amazing.Great band badfinger singing this song that they created.Singer Peter Ham had a great singing voice.They were a great band of musicians from the Beatles apple records.
This is the best commercial ever. I come close to shedding a tear every time I watch it. Being 20, i've grown up only knowing losing celtics teams besides that one year in '01 (when they really had no chance against the Nets). Its surreal now to watch this team. Its pretty cool when a commercial can make you so emotional.
I agree: this IS the best commercial ever. The lyrics of this song fit PERFECTLY: "I remember finding out about you" [signing a contract], "Bring it [a championship] home, baby make it soon ..."
yea im a pistons fan but im glad that the east has a much stronger conference this year than the years b4 now the spurs will either have to face the celtics or pistons and whitch ever gets to the finals ill be wanting to win
It's not just the benefit of the trade to the Celtics, but the benefit of the trade to KG. That's what made me so happy, ewspecially since I am a Laker fan after all. It's that side of it that made ecstatic when I first hearing about the trade. We're doing just fine by the way after having missed out on KG. Can't wait 'til Sunday, Lakers-Celtics is the next great rivalry, after Pistons-Celtics on Dec. 19th (what a game), to hopefully be revived this season!
i can soooo relate to this commercial. it makes me almost wanna tear up. i was at work when the news broke and i couldnt control myself..it was that ovewhelming.
finally, my favorite player on my favorite team = basketball heaven. couldnt ask for more :)
Easily the best day of the year for me. Blew off work, sat in my lazy-boy all day, watched ESPN and listened to the radio for updates. Then the press conference came...
yea detroit is still the best in the east we have a better record in the east we have only lost to 3 eastern teams and the celtics 4 games are in the east remember you have to beat the east to get to the west
Techinically yor right, the celts are 20-5 vs. the east and the pistons are 19-4...but when your record is that good its just splitting hairs. But the celts still have a comfortable 4.5 lead on them. All around the Pistons are still slightly better imo. But as soon as the Celtics find a backup point guard, I say they become better. But hey, the fact that this argument is even taking place still makes me pinch myself.
they need to put this back on tv
