The Celtics' Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen completed their task of not only winning a NBA title for Boston, but also winning a championship ring as individual players for the first time in their careers. Yet, not all NBA stars are so lucky. See the NBA legends who retired without any championship ring bling.

I don't care what the books say, Dantley WON a ring in Detroit. The Pistons didn't even need Aguire. He simply freeloaded to the championship in place of Dantley, who was a contributor in Detroit.

Some of the very best players does not have rings such as Iverson. From back in the day there were plenty more that should have but, just didn't get championship. I love KG and I was rutting for them because they deserve the championship they had a great team they played extremly well. Congrats KG!! I love you Garnette he deserved his own.

The Celtics played hard and long. They cameback so much in the game. They played good ball. I am not a sports fan and it was the first game I have every watched .

I'm a Laker fan. Have been since they came to LA. I, naturally, was rooting for them to win. However, I'm not that disappointed. My daughter is a good friend of Paul Pierce and I really wanted KG to get a ring. He paid his dues in Minn. I'd also like to see Steve Nash get a ring, but not at the expense of the Lakers. We have a very good chance, with the return of Andrew Bynum, of becoming a possible dynasty.

I too have been a Laker-Pistons fan for a very long time. Although the Lakers lost, I am so very happy for the Celtics, especially Kevin, Ray & Paul. They have been in the league too long & play ball too good not to have a championship ring. Of course congrats goes to all the Celtics players & especially Coach Glenn (Doc) Rivers. Last but by no means least of all, I congratulate those LALakers. See you next June in the championship finals. LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only have 1 thing to say about Kobe Bryant-F*** him! I'm so glad the Celtics won. I'm sooooo proud of them, and they all deserved it.

I am a huge Celtics fan and I went to my first Live NBA game in Boston in April! I Think that the Celtics earned there tittle and worked real hard for it and deserved to win.The Lakers have had their moment so many times that it was time for a change and for the best to win and they did! With all the things going on in this world today it was refreshing to see a majority of people focused on a great event insead of other things like gas prices LOL!!!
