It’s been an admittedly long time since the Boston Celtics have reached the zenith of professional basketball: the NBA Finals. Ten years feels like an especially long time considering the result was often very similar; decimation at the hands of one LeBron James and his Miami Heat/Cleveland Cavaliers teams.
It’s almost fitting that the King is now on the Los Angeles Lakers. While rivalries these days are more often determined by what beefs players have, there will always be history between the Lakers and our beloved Boston Celtics.
The “king” has his own rivalries these days out west.
