The Boston Celtics are just two wins away from getting over the hump once and for all.
This team has dominated it’s way to the NBA Finals from the very start of the season.
They were the odds-on favorites to win it all throughout the whole campaign, and it almost felt like not winning the NBA Finals would be a massive failure.
We’ve seen teams fall short of those expectations multiple times in the past, but it’s not so usual to see a team so overwhelmingly favored and expected to win it all.
That’s why, when asked about his potential Finals MVP, former Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers claimed that he would give it to Brad Stevens (via Awful Announcing).

As controversial as it may seem, it actually makes sense.
He developed them and coached them earlier in their careers, and he’s taken things even further since he took over as their roster-builder.
Acquiring Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday was a masterclass, not to mention the kinds of moves that could take any team to a whole new level.
Stevens is the Celtics’ unsung hero, and he has his fingerprints all over this roster.
He also trusted Joe Mazzulla to stay there after a tough out last season.
This championship might be won in 2024, but it has had years in the making.
