The Big Three of the Boston Celtics are now a Very Big Four.

Paul Pierce never planned to leave Boston when he opted out of the final year of his contract. He just wanted to help the Celtics find him some teammates.

In Chris Bosh, the Miami Heat got a power forward and a power broker. Sure, Heat president Pat Riley pulled together the deal, Dwyane Wade had a county renamed in his honor and the anticipation of LeBron James' decision turned into a drama unlike anything the NBA has likely ever seen.

The Boston Celtics have agreed to terms with captain Paul Pierce on a deal that could keep the MVP of their 2008 title run with the team for another four seasons.

The people that matter the most to Doc Rivers wanted him to keep coaching - so he will.

There were rumors the Portland Trail Blazers were going to make a big move on draft night. What happened was downright surreal.

Doc Rivers is headed from pro basketball to the amateur game, and he may not be coming back.

Kobe Bryant sprinted after the ball, which Lamar Odom joyously flung downcourt to burn the remaining seconds in Game 7 of the NBA finals. With the celebration starting behind him, Bryant chased it down and then held it aloft to his teammates.

Those old guys ran out of gas just short of the finish line.

Here come the Lakers.

When the Celtics wrapped up Game 5 and moved one win away from an unprecedented 18th championship, the jubilant Boston crowd sent them off to the West Coast for the final time this season with one last chorus of that age-old "Beat L-A!" chant.

Rajon Rondo's interception of a pass by Kobe Bryant in the final minute of Game 4 will go into Celtics lore along with some other important steals.
