After winning the NBA championship, Beantown is gassed.
A year ago, even haters had to begrudgingly root for the Boston Celtics. After sinking to new lows in 2006-07, honoring recently deceased coaching legend Red Auerbach with a 24-58 record and a franchise worst 18-game losing streak, the once proud Celts organization finally did something right when general manager Danny Ainge teamed Paul Pierce with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Perennial All-Stars who’d given their best years to shitty Minnesota Timberwolves and Seattle SuperSonics squads, respectively, they formed “The Big Three,” a trio of hungry aging ballers who would push their mamas down stairs to win a ring. KG, in particular, changed the culture of the team, convincing guys who’d only known losing to hustle and think of the Celts as a brotherhood (James Posey then added the awkward extended man-hug to the mix).
KG’s borderline psychotic passion and intensity rubbed off on everyone, including non-Celtic fans, who wanted to see him triumph, even if it meant spoiled Boston drunks fans getting yet another title. But now that the Celtics are defending NBA champions, it’s officially OK to hate them again. In fact, it’s the right thing to do. Read on to for five reasons that you should hate the C’s.

Pop bottles Kevin Garnett stans, your boy is finally in the finals, and he'll be rocking these crazy-limited Commander KG sneakers. Produced to homage the Celtics' impressive run at a 17th championship, KG will wear these on-court during every game of the NBA Finals.
The sneakers are so limited that adidas will only produce eight pairs per game to hit retail, and each model will be tagged with the respective game (#s 1-7) on the lateral side of the shoe. Want a pair? You'll only have to shell out $1017'with all the profits benefiting a Boston charity in collaboration with the NBA Cares program. The sneakers will debut tomorrow for Game 1 of the finals, and then will be available at Celtics.com, and the NBA store in New York City. Big money, for the Big Ticket.
