Edging over Boston Celtics in 2010 finals
Known as the Big 3, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were a formidable force for the Boston Celtics. Almost unstoppable, they impressively beat Bryant and the Lakers in the 2008 finals 4-2.
In the 2010 finals, however, Bryant would not let the Celtics have their way for the second time in a row. Down 3-2, Bryant led the Lakers to another championship ring after winning the remaining two games. That was his fifth and final ring.
