Celtic Pride Is Back: Anything Is Possible
The Boston Celtics closed out the NBA season with a world championship. It was their first in 21 year . They literally gave the LA Lakers a good old fashion spanking. Kevin Garnett, a player acquired in a trade before the season started, yelled at the end of the game, “All things are possible”. To fully understand what he was saying you have to know the background.
The Celtics finished last in the NBA last year with the worst record. Danny Ainge, the GM pulled off a couple of block buster trades in the off season, bringing all stars Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett who would team up with all star Paul Pierce. The question everybody was asking on sports radio and even in the NBA circles was, “Could three high power all stars who have egos, get on the same page, share the ball, adjust to different roles and gel together to become a team?”
Well, we know the answer now. They ended up with the best record in all of the NBA and crowned the season with a championship. They all wanted to win so badly that they accepted their roles and responsibilities in order to fulfill a common goal--to be a world champion. They did the things they were asked to do, even when it was something they had not previously done.
Garnett was interviewed right after the game and was asked how it felt to be a world champion. He said, “Anything is possible.“ He repeated the phrase again and again .
KG, you are right. Anything is possible, when no one cares who gets the credit.
Hey, church, let’s take a lesson from the Boston Celtics.
The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.” Genesis 11:6
