Certified. That's what Kevin Garnett said in his wildly emotional post-championship interview to describe these Celtics.

I've been watching basketball for a long time, and I don't believe I've ever seen a demolition like that on the championship stage. Not even just the final score (which was a record for a Finals closeout game), but just the entire way that the Celtics mentally beat the Lakers down.

Every Celtics player contributed to this one. KG came out with a dominant effort to quiet the critics. Pierce put the final seal on an MVP performance. Rajon Rondo was everywhere, just completely disrupting everything that the Lakers tried to do. Ray Allen was setting all types of 3-point shooting records. Posey and House continued to be clutch from long-range while the game was still close. Kendrick Perkins played and blocked shots. PJ Brown made small plays and got in Odom's head early with some ol' school vet trash talk.

This was a team effort. This was UBUNTU. "Anything is POSSIBLE!!!!!"

"Top of the world!"
