As for losing respect, I think its quite the other way. He has gained lots of respect by lots and lots of people.

Yeah I've always respected him, and I like what he said in his press conference when he got his composure....but I just think he could have acted more mature immediately after the game.

Peyton Manning had a similar past (not getting to the championship and getting his heart broke many years) with just as many if not more critics, but when he won it all he handled it very respectably and you could tell he expected to be a champion.

I am happy for KG, that he finally won it! He's been playing since the mid 90's and still hadn't won. He fully deserves it.

Celtics were the better team
