Smith said: "There is no way. The Lakers are now at their peak, and the Celtics are in the rebuilding period. Even if the Celtics win this game, it doesn't mean anything."
The commentators were discussing the feud between the two teams.
From the 1960s to the 1980s and into modern times, the Lakers and Celtics played against each other a total of 287 times, the most in history.
The late Lakers owner Buss once said: "I bought the Lakers to beat the Celtics."
"Lord of the Rings" Russell also said: "There are many possibilities in the world, but one possibility is that it is impossible for the Lakers to defeat the Celtics."
There are too many names of superstars in the history of the two teams, and this is true in any era. The concept of why superstars are super is not reflected in the regular season, but more often in the finals.
In 1987, the Lakers defeated the Celtics 4-2. After winning the championship, the Lakers were naturally happy with this lineup, so the tactical system and personnel basically remained unchanged. Instead, Bill Walton, an important substitute for the Celtics, was injured. The offensive can only be maintained by long-term operations by the main force.

His outstanding performance on the court won everyone's respect, and the Finals MVP that year was awarded to the failed king. He was also the only one who failed to win the championship. Championship, but the moment when he won the MVP honor.
The bleakness of losing to the Celtics in seven consecutive finals is also West's tragedy.
In 1984, 15 years later, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson began a new round of grudges, which also continued the history of grudges between the Celtics and Lakers. But the performance of "Big Bird" allowed the combination of Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to continue the Lakers' bleak history in the Finals, and once again fell in the tiebreaker...
In 1985, this was the first time the Lakers had the last laugh in the Finals against the Celtics. The combination of "Sky Hook" and Magic has reached the level of proficiency. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who has reached the age of 38, is in His passionate moments were filled with passion during the finals.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored 29 points, and his strength in the second half allowed the Lakers to break through the Celtics' curse for the first time in the Finals and win the championship. And "Sky Hook" was naturally crowned with the honor of MVP. Of course, the 38-year-old MVP, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, is the oldest "old man" among this honor.
