Huge Pierce fan so this DVD was made for me. non-fans need not apply (& Lakers fans shouldnt even waste their time - got their due this year anyway). perfect for the Celt's fanCustomer Review: Nice, but nothing special
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
Having suffered through 22 years of decline and mediocrity since the last time the Celtics were in the NBA Finals, no one could have been happier than me when I heard a DVD of the championship season was going to be released.
The best things about the DVD are the extras. You get to see the final QUARTERS of the Semi-Finals against the Cavs and Conference Finals against the Pistons. You are also treated to the interview between Kevin Garnett and Bill Russell, like two eras in the same room together. There are a couple of other small extras, but nothing noteworthy.
The rest of the DVD is a 60 minute recap of the 2008 season and playoff run. It flows nicely and it has a lot of "behind the scenes" stuff as well. By that, I mean you hear some huddle conversation, post game locker room chatter and the like. But it's nothing special. I did enjoy the snippet that Doc Rivers explains the term "umbuntu", which becomes the Celtics' mantra for the season.
But, for $17, I would have hoped for a little more, especially when it comes to the playoffs. I would have liked to see a lot more of the historic comeback in Game 4 against the Lakers. I would have liked to see some highlights from the All-Star game, which the Big Three all attended.
If you sre a Celtics fan, it is a nice video for posterity. And there isn't anything BAD about it. But I think for the money, the fans deserve a little more than what we get. Like I said, it moves along nicely. But it really doesn't seem like anything special.
Should you buy it? It's your call.
Customer Review: Just Ok.

Having watched most of the Celtics' games throughout the season and Playoffs, I expected to relive the same emotion I experienced since last november. But knowing that this DVD came out not long after the Finals, I knew it wouldn't be that great. It's obvious that they left out a lot of things that could have been compiled, had they waited and done a better job. Well, that's what you get when things are done in a rush just to get the product out and make fast bucks.
The main feature is well done, but don't count on enjoying the extras as much. They have the Playoffs' 4th quarter of the games against Cleveland and Detroit. What about the final game against the Lakers? I could do without the 4th quarter videos, if they had the whole last game against the Lakers. Or do something like the "Boston Celtics 1985-86 Champions" box and include all the Finals' games.
How about something on "Gino Time", the American Bandstand video that had everybody dancing on home wins?
There was also only one of the 2 or 3 videos NBA had on their site featuring conversations between Bill Russell and Kevin Garnett.
In the end, it was a DVD that will remind you of the season you just watched, but not something that will give you goosebumps and make you relive all the emotions in the future.
Customer Review: Highlights Only?

I was sorely disappointed that the producers of this DVD did not include complete game footage, particularly for the finals. What's there is good, but why not produce a product like the Red Sox 2004 and 2007 championship DVD packages? Was the Celtic's championship not on a par?Customer Review: Dead on Arrival

my dvd is simply unreadable. I tried it on my dvd player, my ps3 and on my laptop but it didnt work on none of them. Actually, it did work a little bit until the part that says NBA ENTERTAINMENT and it blacked out. I hope amazon give me a refund since I dont want another copy because I dont live in the States and the shipping plus tax is almost the price of a dvd.
I gave it a 2 because this is the first time that this has ever happened to me after all the dvds that I have purchased from amazon and also because I think the dvd should be good.
