]]> Doc Rivers - Boston Celtics Head CoachFollowing the Boston Celtics’ decisive 131–92 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the sixth game of the 2008 NBA Finals on Tuesday night, it was trophy time.

The team members received their shiny gold reward during an enthusiastic ceremony immediately after the game’s final moments, and 30-year-old Paul Pierce was named the MVP of the series, as well.

In the video of the Trophy Ceremony below, head coach Doc Rivers and shooting guard Ray Allen each have the chance to speak a little about the victory, in addition to Pierce.

Forty-six-year-old Rivers should be particularly proud since the finals represent both his first trip to the NBA Championship as a head coach and his first NBA Championship win as a head coach. Does it get any better for a head coach in the NBA?
