I know this is hella late but I wanted to put in my 2 cents on the finals. Sorry all you non sports people. I'll try and relate this to like life somehow.
I wasn't really routing for anyone, however, it was nice to see the Celtics win. 3 superstars sacrificing their individual accolades to win it all. They all already established themselves in the league and all have made enough money. It all came down to wanting to win a championship which will cement their legacies in NBA history. At the end of the day winning was more important than scoring titles, the glory, etc. It was really refreshing to see that.
Its also really annoying to see athletes complain about contracts. Its like "oh I only make 10 million a year" a la Latrell Sprewell, who I distinctly remember saying "how am I suppose to feed my family" when offered 7 million dollars a year. 0_o Its like wow, what do you feed your kids buddy?! I mean, c'mon people! You're getting paid to play a game that you love. I would play for 100 dollars a game if I could. There's that saying, "if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life" Apparently, some athletes haven't.
You see the joy in kevin Garnett's face? I want to go to work everyday with that same face.
In relation to life? What can we learn from the Boston Celtics? I guess, in life you have to sacrifice things to get to what you want or get to where you want to be. I dunno, that was a pretty obvious statement. Too tired to think right now. Maybe a year from now the Warriors will be in this position.
I am off. Later days. Goodnight Billy.
