Rajon Rondo's dive on the floor to come up with a loose ball from JJ Reddick was not only a microcosm of this series, but also typical of great Celtics players. The two plays that came to mind were Dave Cowens' dive to try to come up with a loose ball near half court, and Larry Bird's dive into a table behind the baseline. Here are all three plays, who ya got?
Rondo
Cowens
Bird
Note: I couldn't find the youtube clip of the specific Bird play I was talking about, but I figured any time you can watch a 3 minute clip of Larry Bird hustle plays with "Do the hustle" playing in the background, everybody wins. Enjoy!

The Bird play I was referring to come in at about the 1:35 mark, but all of them are pretty sweet
ReplyDeleteYou gotta go Bird, the dead sprint going over the defender and then smoking a table behind the baseline? Gotta love it
ReplyDeleteIts rondo no doubt... esp considering the team was winning by a large margin. most elite players would have gone half ass at it.
