The Fuss is all about NBA finals. Lakers vs Celtics for the 11th time the NBA Finals. 11! These two teams have won 30 out of 61 NBA Championships! I mean The Bulls in all their glory only have 6. I'm not mad... I'm impressed.
So why is this such a big deal? It must be the nostalgia. Everybody loves looking back to the good ole days, -yeah the good old days the good old days well what was really so good about them shits then? / Can it be that it was all so simple then? - Sorry
This game has us all thinking about Magic and Bird, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem, Kevin Mchale, Robert Parish, John Havilcek, Jerry West, James Worthy, Elgin Baylor... Now Garnett, Pierce, Allen, Bryant, Gasol, Odum, Fisher, Walton and Rondo get to be part of that history.
Phil Jackson gets his own story line. If his Lakers can beat the Celtics he will surpass legendary Celtics coach Red Auerbach as the NBA coach with the most championships.
The Celtics have 16 championships but it's been a while. Their starting 5 has no Finals experience in all their careers, 52 years all put together. But I don't care. All this season it's been my lifelong dream to see Boston take the crown. Yeah, I've been going for the Celtics since they got Garnett. Except when they faced Chicago of course. Green milkshakes for all!
Name a better rivalry... I'll wait.
ps.
Jerry West is the NBA logo
look at the bottom right on
above pic, it's only fitting
that he was playing against
the Celtics in that game.
Sidebar:
KG was the first in the
new era of the straight from
high-school players, paving the way for-
Kobe who has been most successful of the straight
from high-school players, helping inspire Spike Lee so he could have-
Ray Allen play Jesus Shuttlesworth in He Got Game,
but he went to college.
(Shuttlesworth that is)
WHAT DO EWE THINK?
