Roughly two seasons ago, it was a fading Clyde Drexler Kids Jersey Boston Celtic team who topped the NBA world, when it acquired Ray Allen from Seattle and Kevin Garnett from Minnesota. Clearly, it was enough to convince Beantown's then hometown hero, Paul Pierce, to give it one more shot. The rest is history as banner #17 is already up in the rafters at TD Garden. Considering the year before that, Boston was in a complete mess. 2008 however, not only became their turning point but eventually led to their story of glory.

It's certainly debatable, but it just goes on to say that you can "buy" a championship. Just put on the right robust set of players, focusing at best on three all-stars who are willing to sacrifice for the good of the team, slap in a coach who's got what it takes, and "preach defense" all the way. Oh, and let's not forget the salary cap the franchise needs to lure in the right guys to http://www.authenticrocketsshop.com/authentic-15-clint-capela-jersey.html dominate the floor.

The "Big Three" strategy is nothing new. Consider Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, and Kenyon Martin of the New Jersey Nets a few years ago. Or Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, and Scottie Pippen of the Houston Rockets way back then.

It's the same story, only Chris Bosh Kids Jersey in the case of the Celtics - it led to a happier and better ending.

So is there a correct formula to follow then? Kind of like something your math teacher drew in junior high? Critics are quick to comment that it may very well be a variety of factors that include player selection, timing, and of course - the salary cap.

If we placed Boston in a test tube, everyone would admit that Danny Ainge and the management made almost clear-cut perfect decisions in the 2008 NBA Season. It was obvious that a championship was their goal, and anything short of it would be a bitter disappointment. It was, as you and I would call it... expected.

Even Kobe with all his http://www.officialheatprostore.com/authentic-11-chris-andersen-jersey.html skill, talent, versatility and what-else-can-you-think-about, along with the rest of the Laker squad, didn't stand a chance.
