Just got done watching the 30 for 30 3-part series on the Celtics/Lakers rivalry and all I can say is WOW!!
It started with a look at the history of the two teams and went through all of the clashes of this rivalry.
This was a great look into the Celtics/Lakers rivalry of the 1980s that started with the 1979 NCAA championship between Magic Johnson's Michigan State Spartans and Larry Bird's Indiana State Sycamores. I was in high school in the 80s and watched many of these great games, but there were some interesting tidbits that even I didn't know.
What made this really entertaining was that it wasn't told from only one perspective. It had inputs from coaches and players on both teams and was narrated by not one, but two superfans of the teams, Mark Wahlberg for the Celtics and Ice Cube for the Lakers, so you got the perspective of fans of both teams on each side of the contests.
If you were/are a fan of these teams or just a fan of basketball, especially of the 80s, do yourself a favor and check these programs out.
