One of the greatest rivalries in NBA history is the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers, and these two teams could be on another collision course to face off again in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. The rivalry dates way back before the most recent years of trash talk and headline match ups. It is built on a competitive history and numerous All-Stars that have battled each other in almost every generation of the NBA.
The first major battles between these two teams were back in the mid to late ‘60s when Bill Russell faced off against Wilt Chamberlain in numerous playoff match ups.
