2. Celtics back on top

Believe it. The Celtics climbed back to the summit of the basketball world by winning their first NBA title in 22 years. It took a seven-game scare against the Hawks, a classic Game 7 duel between Cleveland's LeBron James and Paul Pierce in the conference semifinals, and a six-game series against the Pistons before the Celtics defeated the Lakers in six games for the crown. It was a magical ride that had Boston seeing Green again.
