Six games plus one wheelchair, and you've got history.
Those were the ingredients behind the Celtics' sixteenth championship. Kevin Garnett ruled the glass. Ray Allen couldn't miss from three. Paul Pierce, the '08 Finals MVP, chipped in everywhere.
Game 1 of the Finals, Pierce twisted his knee so badly he got carted off with 6:49 remaining in the third. He thought he felt a pop on the way down. A man who'd survived being stabbed eleven times wasn't going to sit out the Finals over one knee, though. He came back with 5:04 left in the third. Minutes later, bang — three-ball from the right wing. Very next possession, bang — same wing, same result. Another instant classic in Beantown, and the lifelong Celtic (to that point) had stamped his name into Boston basketball's storied past.
Iconic plays kept coming through the final stage of the postseason, enough for him to lead the Cs in scoring and be named 2008 Finals MVP.
That trophy on the cover of SLAM 121 silenced all the doubts hanging over Boston. Could the Big 3 coexist? Who was this unknown point guard? They almost lost to Atlanta, so how were they going to win everything? The list went on.
Simple answer: Paul Pierce is The Truth.
