The Trophy Comes Home
Date: June 17, 2008
Coach Doc Rivers and Director of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge posed for a photograph after the Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals. It was the franchise’s first title win since 1986, when Ainge himself was a Celtics player. Rivers, whose shirt was stained by sports drink dumped on him by Paul Pierce, sang along with the fans to Queen’s “We Are the Champions” as his team received the trophy.
