This morning you would have thought it was St. Patrick's Day in Boston by the sea of people adorned in green. This was a different kind of Celtic pride, it was the
victory parade to honor the
Boston Celtic's win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2008 NBA finals. It's been 22 years since the Celtics won their last championship title and today the city erupted after clinching the city of Boston a
17th championship.
Chants of "17" and "We Beat LA" echoed throughout Copley Square, as a diverse group of Celts fans came together to cheer on their favorite players such as
Pierce,
Garnett,
Allen,
Powe, and
Posey.

The team's NBA final series
Most Valuable Player, Paul Pierce a.k.a. The Truth - came to the Celtics 10 years ago with promise to bring the Celtics another championship title. Over the past decade it's been blood, sweat, and tears for this team coming close by making it to the Eastern Conference playoffs but never making it far enough in the series, and not for lack of trying.

I have been a fan of The Truth since day one - and truly felt proud of him and all of his efforts in this championship series. His dedication and commitment to Boston and his team have been amazing. I've always had my Celtic Pride, through the ups and downs, however today represents a special day that I will never forget! It's one I've been hoping and wanting for a long time!
Go C's!! Here's to the Boston Celtics, 2008 NBA Champs!
