In addition, Boston was an aging team; they made the playoffs as the 4th place team in the Eastern Division, and were not favored to make it to the finals. The Celtics' finals victory - the last championship of the Bill Russell dynasty - is considered one of the great upsets in NBA history. This series is also notable in that West, with an average of nearly 38 points a game, won the Finals Most Valuable Player award, despite being on the losing team. This was the first year a Finals MVP award was given, and it remains the only time in NBA Finals history that the MVP was awarded to a player on the losing team. It also marks the first time ever in NBA Finals history that a Game 7 was won by the road team. ]]> customchampionring@gmail.com (Randy Chan) https://www.customchampionshipring.net/1969-boston-celtics-nba-championship-ring-p-346.html Sat, 23 Aug 2014 08:13:08 -0500 185.00 USD 346 0.5 10000 NBA1969
