Millar has special message for Celtics before Game 6 vs. Heat originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Kevin Millar is one of the main characters from the 2004 Boston Red Sox' historic comeback from an 0-3 deficit to beat the rival New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series.
It was Millar who famously told The Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy "Don't let us win today" ahead of Game 4. The Red Sox won that night, and the next three games to become the first MLB team ever to win a best-of-7 series after trailing 0-3.

Jaylen Brown: It's Celtics' 'destiny' to complete ECF comeback
The Boston Celtics are trying to become the first NBA team ever to overcome an 0-3 deficit. They are halfway toward that goal entering Game 6 of the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat.
Game 6 could be the tougher of the two matchups the Celtics still need to win. It's on the road, and the Heat are 7-1 at home in the 2023 playoffs.
Millar has a message for the Celtics ahead of Saturday night's pivotal game in Miami. Check out in the video below, via CBS's Dan Roche:
Millar also told NBA TV on Saturday that he thinks Game 6 is a must-win for the Heat, given how difficult it would be to win Game 7 in Boston This is an opinion shared by others in the sports world, too, including TNT's Charles Barkley.
If the Celtics win Game 6, they'll become just the fourth NBA team ever to force a Game 7 after losing the first three games of the series. The first three teams all lost Game 7 on the road. If the C's play a Game 7, it'll be at TD Garden in Boston.
