Celtics vs. Lakers in the 1980s is the best rivalry in NBA history.

Get chills to the opening of the these old CBS games... Nothing better... Maybe NBC was close

A lot of people talk about the NBA on NBC intro music, which is good…this is the tops for me…my first memories of watching basketball.

As a Lakers fan, i will thank the Celtics franchise, for this great rivalry. Hope to see both team in the finals one day

The broadcast crew of Stockton and Heinsen is total professionalism. Great interaction between the two and great accuracy in their play-by-play calls. It is ridiculously better than what we have nowadays.

Great game. Lakers showtime FTW! I remember watching this back in the day and cheering like crazy.
Lakers 80's dynasty allowed some legendary big men to finally get rings.
In 1980 it was Jim Chones and Spencer Haywood, though the latter had mistakenly chosen drugs.
1982 and 1985 it was Bob McAdoo, the ex-scoring champ with the funky jump shot.
They came within 1 dirty Rambis takedown to get big man Swen Nater a ring in 1984.
Boston won the ex-Blazer FA pickups in 1986 when they got Bill Walton and Lakers got Maurice Lucas.
Then the Lakers got Mychal Thompson 2 rings during the back-to-back titles. In the post game an exasperated Bird said "If San Antonio needed money, we would've sent them money. But to go and help the Lakers like that is just terrible." Good times. Showtime!!! 🏀🏆

When I was growing up in this era in the L.A. area, when the Lakers were on TV on a network, we would have the TV sound turned down and listen to Chick Hearn call the game on the radio. Nothing better than the Lakers and Chick.
