Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce gave the Celtics new hope when a new team was established in 2008. Garnett was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1995 where he was known to have his most prominent years of his career. In 2008 he was then traded to the Celtics on a big blockbuster deal. Garnett brought a real intensity to the game and was a true leader speaking his voice on and off the court. Paul Pierce aka "The Truth" was drafted by the Celtics in 1998 and only then began contention talk when Garnett arrived in Boston. Paul Pierce was a very poised player who made many clutch shots to decide a game. The Celtics with a star packed team reached the Finals in 2008 facing a rival known to them since the beginning of basketball, the Los Angeles Lakers. Garnett and Pierce led the Celtics to win the championship in a six game stretch. A year later the two teams met again for a Finals rematch and the result was different. The Lakers defeated the Celtics in seven games leaving Pierce and Garnett with one ring each to complete their career.
