I'm still a fan of the NBA of the 80's and early 90's. (I'm not a fan of the current NBA.) So the Celtics-Lakers rivalry makes me warm and fuzzy.

You have no idea how I get chills thinking about the Celtics (and the NBA, in general) of the 80s.

Danny Ainge for threeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Even Kevin McHale and Robert Perish's funny looking selves.

My two favorite classic NBA games are the Bird/Wilkins scoring duel in '88, and the Jordan 63-point game against the Celts in the playoffs in 86. They used to replay those games on ESPN Classic quite a bit, and Dan Patrick used to host a show on ESPN called "NBA's Greatest Games," or something along those lines.

I was really young for both of those games (I'm 27), but I wish I had a clearer memory of when they were played.

ESPN Classic is a Godsend.

Your post is full of legends. I wonder how many legends will come from the new NBA.

Hmmmm...I'm trying to remember when I stopped watching the NBA like my life depended on it. To the point where I stopped caring and knowing who was in playoffs and championships, besides watching SportsCenter or seeing some NBA player on a celebrity blog.

It has to have been when Wilkins and other 80's NBA legends started retiring and so forth. The early to mid 1990s.

Ya know, when slam dunking and 3-point contests started sucking. I haven't watched these contests in years whereas these contests used to be a religion in my household. Just like playoffs and championships were a religion. My fav teams in order were: The Lakers, Celtics, Hawks, and Detroit.
