The Boston Celtics left no doubt who this year's NBA Champion is, after an overwhelmingly dominate performance against the L.A. Lakers on Tuesday night. Final score 131-92.

Not to be outdone by the drama effusing from past team mates Shaq & Kobe, the Glove has come out publicly and stated that he has absolutely no intention for playing with the Celtics next year.
