"Rivals" SPORT Magazine PhotographNBA's most storied rivalry by far is renewed tonight of Boston vs. Los Angeles; not by Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain as in the 1968-69 season pictured above, but by their successors led by The Big Three of Boston and Kobe and Pau of the Lakers.
The 1969 NBA Finals were taken by the Celtics as were the 2008 NBA Finals. The Lakers are hoping to change that this year, and lead the season series 1-0 as they head into tonight's challenge.

ReplyDeleteI still can't believe the Lakers won. Great game.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the note. Although it was a victory to savor, the prize still lies ahead.
ReplyDeleteIt is becoming very obvious to the league that even without Bynum, the Lakers are the team to beat.
