Celtics versus the Lakers NBA Finals

time to go back in time. the first time in 21 years the Historic Lakers and Celtics finals awaits. these teams throughout time have played 10 times now 11 with the celtics winning 8 of them. fromBill Russell and Wilt Chamberlin to Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. now you have Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett battling for the title which starts june 5th on ABC. back in the day my whole neighborhood would vanish when the game started up. we each had out sides. in my household my Grandmother rooted hard for the Celtics and I pulled for the Lakers. neither one of these teams a year ago seemed title worthy lead alone post season worthy. a year ago Kobe wanted out of LA and then fast forward to now he is the league MVP and going the finals for the first time in the Post Shaq era in LA. Phil Jackson laker head coach is looking to Pass the Great celtics coach Red Aurebach in rings. they are each tied at 9 apiece. Kevin garnett has never been this far in his career but his career has everything in it that shaq and Tim Duncan have accept a ring. Doc Rivers the Celtics Coach is also further than he has been before. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen of the Celtics are further as well over for the Lakers Lamar Odoms and Pau Gasol are further than they have been. Derek Fisher who won 3 rings when the lakers had Shaq and Kobe from 00-02. this should and could be a memorable Series and hard to say who is gonna win. the Celtics have the better defense and the lakers have the better offense. we shall see how it all goes down and maybe this will be the next chapter in this historic rivalery. get your popcorn, soda and napkins. Beantown versus LA.
