The resurgence of the Celtics this year is causing a certain nostalgia. I feel like a kid again. I remember shooting ball in my grandparents backyard while Larry Bird and Magic Johnson fought it out on the court. It 1984-1985-1987 it was Celtics versus Lakers predominantly- with a few moments of Dr J mixed in here and there. The thing I always forget was that the 80's was a resurgence of the rivalry from the 1960's.
Wouldn't it be great to see a Boston vs LA series in June? June is about the only time I watch the NBA. It starts in November and goes until June, that's a bit much isn't it? It's like joining a bowling league. I've only done that once and regretted it half the year.
In the 80's it was
Larry Bird
Kevin McHale
Robert Parrish
Dennis Johnson
Danny Ainge
Magic Johnson
Byron Scott
Kurt Rambis
Kareem Abdul Jabar
James Worthy
Will this current rivalry come together?
