A look back at the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history

The Celtics found themselves down by as many as 24 points at the Staples Center in Game 4 of the 2008 NBA Finals, but embraced ubuntu and rallied back put together the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.

Everybody's favorite moment of the Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen era in Boston is undoubtedly June 17, 2008 when we watched them lead the Celtics to their first NBA championship in 22 years, proving that anything is possible. They absolutely destroyed the Lakers by 39 points in the series-deciding Game 6, and we got to watch Paul Pierce hoist that well-deserved NBA Finals MVP trophy in Boston as the Garden erupted in euphoric celebration.
