June 17 has two famous Boston Celtics games that give Cs fans positive and negative memories. The two games took place with the original Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen revolutionized the way NBA rosters were constructed and started the superteam era.
The positive game is the Celtics defeating the Los Angles Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals’ Game 6 to win their 17th championship. The other is without a doubt, the most heartbreaking loss of the 21st century: the 2010 NBA Finals Game 7 loss to the Lakers.
I may be dating myself, but I was seven years old (I am now 22) when Game 6 of the 2008 Finals happened on this day.
