It was recorded by Boston's own "Money Mav" aka Maverik who has been recording Boston anthems for years. Maverik has worked in Boston radio for several years and is currently a DJ for the Boston Red Sox. When it comes to Boston sports, Mav likes to record anthems when our teams get to the playoffs. And this year is no exception with the Celtics.
"Get Your Green On"
The song is titled "Get Your Green On" and it is recorded over Missy Elliott's hit song "Get Ur Freak On." With lyrics like: "We lightin Luka up...shutting Kyrie down." "Banner 18 comin' straight back home to BEAN TOWN" and "Kyrie is a bummmmmmmmmmm" the song is bound to become the anthem for the rest of the NBA finals.
Take a listen. And let us know what you think. And just like some of Maverik's previous sports anthems, don't be surprised if the Celtics are blasting this on the team plane. And don't be surprised if you hear it on ESPN.
The Boston Celtics are on the brink of their first NBA Championship since 2008. Their defeat of the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers have secured them a spot in the NBA Finals. Who they will face in the NBA Finals has yet to be determined. It will either be the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Dallas Mavericks. Dallas currently has a 3 game to 1 lead in the Western Conference Finals so the chances of the Boston Celtics competing in the NBA Finals against Dallas are pretty good. Either way, we thought it would be fun to look at what our world looked like back in 2008, the last time the Celtics won the NBA Championship.
Last time Celtics won the championship was 2008
Let's take a look at the state of the world back in 2008. Stock markets plunged in January amidst news of a potential US recession. A devastating earthquake struck China. It measured 7.9 on the scale in Sichuan China killing an estimated 87,000 people. And we lost a lot of celebrities that year too. Bernie Mac, Heath Ledger, Isaac Hayes, George Carlin and Paul Newman all passed away in 2008.
Now when it comes to the most pop culture and memorable events from that year, we've come up with 6. There is no ranking, just listing what we feel are the most impactful events from that year. Let's take a look at the major events that took place the last time the Celtics won a championship.
