26 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block in 36 minutes. The C’s blew out the Lakers by 39 points to win the championship in a clinching Game 6. The 39-point margin of victory was the largest ever in an NBA championship-clinching game, breaking the previous record of 33.

  6. The spacing compared to what it is now is incredible. There’s zero room to maneuver inside the arc

  8. I firmly believe that as great as Garnett was in the 2000s, his game with be GOAT’d in the 2020s. The versatility in all aspects of his game is unmatched. One of the great two-way players of all time.

  12. I’ll never forget him hanging in the air for that And-1. Felt like he was up there for an eternity

  13. Wish the team had KG during his real prime instead of the tail end before he had injuries

    Everyone talks about missing Perkins 2 years later but Garnett was far from 100 percent that year in the finals. Basically jumping off one leg the whole time

  14. I don’t mean this as a slight to current team or anything. But I swear I won’t enjoy basketball to the same level as when KG came here ever again. ☘️

  15. This was the most relaxing Championship clinching game ever! Celtics absolutely destroyed them and I loved every single minute of this game.

    (Sigh) Beautiful memories

  18. That and-1 was when I knew we were winning this without a doubt. Yeah they were up 20, but that team sometimes would let their foot off the gas and let teams back into it when they weren’t locked in, but this play to me meant that wasn’t happening this time. That game was the most amazing kill shot I’ve ever seen
