Ultimate EscapesSM Congratulates Club Member, Doc Rivers,
Head Coach of the Boston Celtics

His team wins their 17th NBA championship, first in 22 years!

June 18, 2008--Last Tuesday night's 131-92 win over the Los Angeles Lakers earned the Celtics their first NBA title since 1986. The 39-point margin surpassed the NBA record set by the Celtics in a 129-96 rout of the Lakers in the 1965 Finals.

A large share of the credit for this outstanding achievement goes to Ultimate Escapes's® club member and Celtics' head coach Glenn "Doc" Rivers.


We want to congratulate Doc Rivers on the Celtic’s winning the NBA Championship for 2008,” said Jim Tousignant, president & CEO of Ultimate Escapes® .

“As a member of Ultimate Escapes® since 2006, we’re excited to recognize him for this outstanding achievement. Now that Doc has vanquished the Lakers, his toughest challenge will be deciding which of the 150 UE destinations to take his family on vacation to relax and rejuvenate after his historic season!

Boston’s top three players: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen had a combined 69 points, 21 rebounds, 16 assists and eight steals. All three will wear championship rings. With four minutes left in the game, they left the floor to a rousing ovation. “They came in as a group; I thought we should take them out as a group – we love each other,” said Doc in a quote in USA Today.

But a huge share of credit for this outstanding achievement goes to Ultimate Escapes's® club member and Celtics' head coach Glenn "Doc" Rivers.
