On Sunday the Cavaliers and Warriors will meet in Game 7 to determine the 2015-16 NBA champion.
After the game, the members of the winning team will celebrate and give interviews to various news outlets, but it will be hard to live up to the celebration we saw from Kevin Garnett eight years ago.
The Boston Celtics beat Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in six games to give Garnett the first (and so far, only) title of his NBA career. He let Michelle Tafoya know just how happy he was.
Garnett was traded to Boston before the 2007-08 season, and teamed up with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to form the "Big Three."
After being named NBA MVP and making it to the Western Conference finals in 2004 with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Garnett and his team had missed the playoffs in three consecutive seasons leading up to the trade.
A prodigious scorer and rebounder, the knock on Garnett (at least as he perceived it) was always the lack of a title.
That sentiment led to his famous postgame closing remarks, "What you gonna say now? What can you say now?"
What a moment. We can only hope for something similar on Sunday night.
