Best of the rivalry between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers
The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers are the biggest rivalry in sports, and for good reason. The two old foes squaring off in the NBA Finals or the regular season is always a better contest than it might be with other matchups because of that extra sauce their shared history of contention provides fans of both teams.
With just a few titles shy of having won half of the NBA championships in the history of the league between the two ball clubs and a dozen finals series fought between the two storied franchises, it is not hard to see why that's the case. To jog our memory a bit ahead of a potential redux of those series this summer, The folks behind the "Boston Celtics" YouTube channel put together a clip highlighting the best moments in the history of that rivalry.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to see them for yourself.
