The Celtics took this crown this season with authority, finishing with the best record in the NBA, and more importantly, finishing with the golden cup (ball, rather). The Celtics stellar defense was what earned them the right to this glory and victory, as the Lakers had the most trouble ever scoring against a team. Paul Pierce was the MVP of the finals, followed closely behind by Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. The series was finished in game 6, where the Celtics finished it all up with a TKO punch that left the Lakers stunned. It will be interesting to see next years series, especially since the lakers will have their starting center, Andrew Bynum, back on the court. Maybe he will be the Lakers answer for stopping Boston. Who knows... only time will tell. Congrats to both of these teams for having a stellar season. Next year Kobe.... ;)

This year's matchup is the LA Lakers vs. the Boston Celtics. Who has what it takes to bring home the title, and RESPECT. Will KG, Ray-Ray, and Pierce get their very first ring? Or will Kobe and his Lakers deny them? Find out and watch the NBA finals on ABC.
