The HBO series "Winning Time" is a fun show to watch even for Celtics fans as it does a good job of bringing you back to early 1980's NBA basketball. And Larry Bird and the Celtics' success runs parallel to the Lakers. Sure, a series on the Celtics would have been even more fun, but that Lakers team was hollywood.
As most Celtics fans know the Los Angeles Lakers didn't capture their first NBA title until 1972 when they were led by former Celtics Hall of Famer Bill Sharman. Until Magic Johnson came along that was the team's lone title to Red Auerbach and the Celtics dominance of 13 NBA titles.
