2008 Celtics Reunite On TV Show [VIDEO]
The 2007-08 NBA Championship Boston Celtics held a reunion last night to celebrate their title won almost a decade ago.
Among those who attended included Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Glen Davis, Kendrick Perkins, and former coach Doc Rivers checked-in via a satellite. One notable absence was guard Ray Allen, who was reportedly not invited to the event held on KG’s Area 21 show. Cs players mentioned that he would not be involved after leaving the team to play for the Miami Heat after the 2012 season.

Allen shot back on the show with a picture of himself posted to his Facebook page, elbowing Rondo in a game wearing a Heat jersey. The former Cs talked about the final season in Pierce’s career, gave out some retirement gifts, and recapped the team that took home the title in 2008. Boston bested the Los Angeles Lakers in the series to come out on top in the match-up to win the franchise's first title in 22 years.
