If there is an athlete who knows how to get up from a 0-3 loss, it is David Ortiz, the great figure of the Boston Red Sox. The Dominican sent his message of encouragement to the Celtics, who are in that situation against the Miami Heat in the Eastern finals.
Ortiz and the Red Sox faced seemingly insurmountable odds in 2004 when they trailed the rival New York Yankees 0-3 in the American League Championship Series. They didn’t just come back, Boston won the World Series. It is the only team to do so in MLB history.
Former Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz isn’t giving up on the Celtics.

“Yes, and there would be no better time than now for that to happen,” Ortiz said in an interview with the AP Monday morning at his charity golf tournament. “If you do it in basketball, it has to be the same city. You know what I’m talking”.
The Celtics have been openly outclassed by the Heat, whose great leader has been Jimmy Butler. The Boston team comes from losing in the finals last year against the Warriors and it was expected that this year they could redeem themselves in the definition of the scepter.
