Celtics v Lakers rivalry
-
Ahead of the Warriors v Cavs NBA finals games I was thinking about what Ive read about how this is bad for the league. 3 times in a row for these two teams does seem to set a new precedent in pro basketball but [This link here] says that the Celtics and Lakers have met 12 times in the finals! 12! So while they haven’t met 3 times in a row like what we have today, they have far exceeded the total number of the Cavs Warriors rivalry. This is not a new thing. The Celts and Lakers were the leagues two most dominant teams for years and years. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtics–Lakers_rivalry)
