The Big Three

Last year before the 2007 basketball season started, everybody was talking about the big trade that went down in the NBA. The trade was that Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen were traded to the Celtics to be alongside with Paul Pierce. People were saying that the trade wouldn't work because each superstar was selfish and probably wouldn't cooperate well as a great unit. So all during the season, that was the main focus in the NBA last year. Each member of the The Big Three were all stars in the situation and team that they were on. Ray Allen was a former star of the Seattle Supersonics and Kevin Garnett was a star for the former Minnesota Timberwolves so that means that they both were major scoreres for their respective team. When they got together on the Celtics, alot of questions were to be answered. How would they distribute the ball and who would be the person to have the ball in his hands with the game on the line. As the season progressed, the Celtics were running and gunning the whole season and went into the playoffs. They faced the Atlanta Hawks in the first round and made it to the second round against the Cavaliers. They beat them and went to the third round against the Pistons. They beat them to advance to the finals were they would renew a historic rivalry against the Lakers. They won the NBA title and answered all the questions the critics had. Now the question is will they be able to repeat as champions? I was glad to see The Big Three get a championship ring because they didnt on their former teams, so thats what made the championship win so much better to them
