Brief history of the greatest NBA rivalries of all time - Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics:
History, once again, repeats itself, just like what happened recently at Staples Center, Los Angeles, California. This is the 12th time the LA Lakers and Boston Celtics met in the championship round.
These two teams first met last November 9, 1948, but it was not a championship game. The Celtics won nine of their previous 11 championship games against the Lakers, winning in 1959, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1984, and 2008, while the Lakers won in 1985 and 1987.
The Celtics currently hold the most NBA Championships with a total of 17. On the other hand, the Lakers won 15 times in the NBA finals.
The Celtics-Lakers rivalry hit its peak in the 1980s when Larry Bird of the Celtics and Magic Johnson of the Lakers led their teams to win a combined eight NBA titles in the decade, with the Lakers winning five and the Celtics winning three.
Celtics and the Lakers met in the finals 2 years ago. The Boston Celtics won last 2008 four games to two.
This year, new players for both teams have entered. Notable new players are Ron Artest by the Lakers and Rajon Rondo by the Celtics.
Tonight was another exciting and historic night as the two teams tied 3-3 in the previous 6 games. But unlike the 2008 finals, this year's title goes to the Los Angeles Lakers.
