’08 Champions Hat
Date: June 17, 2008
To celebrate Boston’s first NBA World Championship title in more than 20 years, the team wore these hats after they won Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. In the locker room after the game, Kevin Garnett told Celtics legend Bill Russell, “I got my own. I got my own. I hope we made you proud.” Russell, the owner of 11 NBA World Championship rings, replied, “You sure did.”
