I will grant you that the 57-69 run of the Celtics was one of the greatest runs of any team, in any sport, period.

Now lets look at the history from 1980 in the modern era. Boston-4 Lakers-8

You better enjoy the one from last year cause it will most likely be the last for many years when you look at the young talented Lakers and with King James lurking in your back yard. I admit it is great to see this rivalry restarted..... I just hope you make it to the finals this year so we can be dancing on your parquet once again.

"I just hope you make it to the finals this year so we can be dancing on your parquet once again."

Are the ballons still in the rafters at the Forum from when the series came back to LA with the Lakers up 3-2 and lost the last two on their own turf?

What a convenient alteration of history defining when history starts. Who are you to decide when modern history starts? I have two simple questions ...

1) What NBA franchise has the most championships?

2) What NBA franchise currently calls themselves NBA champions?

It's all history. The Lakers are not the answer to either of these questions. If you look at the history of Celtics - Lakers finals, you won't like those results either.

Currently in the NBA two of the best teams are the presiding NBA champion Boston Celtics and the Lakers.

I don't see any happy purple emoticons.

Here's a purple one with a Laker towel cry cry cry

I see the potential for two more titles. When the playoffs come around it's hard for one player (James) to carry a team through the physical beating of playoffs, especially when it's playing against the same strong team through a series. Let's wait until the playoffs to see if the Lakers turn into a bunch of lillies like last year against the Celtics. I couldn't believe the Lakers just rolled over and died like dogs. When Pierce, Garnett and Allen retire, the Celtics won't be down long. They'll have an incredible amount of cap money available.

OK RJ:

You seem so sure of yourself how bout a friendly wager.

You win (Boston wins NBA title) and I will send two boxes of nice fresh brand new pearls (Diamonds, Rawlings, etc not cheap plastic ones) to a baseball charity of your choice.

I win (Lakers win title) then you send two boxes to the baseball charity of my choice.

I am sure we can get some help around here as far as where they could be best used.
OK were on. Mine is Sports Gift

Hey we might be on to something here. If others want to start their own wagers for charity - tag on to this thread. Will be fun to watch.

Even though you’re going to be doing something worthy when YOU lose, I promise not to not be merciful and continue to hound you. BTW the only thing I dislike about the original start of this thread “The quest for G” was that stupid shamrock on Kevin’s chest.
