For Boston Celtics It's Banner No. 17, DVD No. 1

BOSTON (AP) ― The "Beat L.A!" chants echo through the Boston Garden again as the Celtics celebrate their latest NBA title with the premiere of their championship DVD.

Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and a handful of other Celtics gathered with a few hundred fans in the Legends restaurant at the Garden tonight. Boston had the most dramatic turnaround in league history to win an unprecedented 17th NBA title in June.

Free agent James Posey was greeted with cheers and urged to re-sign. Fans also yelled "Don't let Posey go" to general manager Danny Ainge. Posey said he's "just sitting back, waiting to see what happens."

Eddie House, the other key free agent, said his first choice is to come back. He's also looking for a raise and a multiyear contract.

Pierce said he had an MRI last week and still has some swelling in the right knee he injured in Game 1 of the finals. Rajon Rondo said his injured left ankle is fine.
