This was a special championship. We FINALLY beat Boston, in Boston. And we're going to repeat this year for our 18th. championship. GO LAKERS!! LAKE SHOW 4 LIFE. Rest In Peace Chick Hearn & Dr. Jerry Buss
1985...lakers finally win their first finals vs boston after being 0-8 vs them, magic makes up for 83 and 84 and kareem finally beats boston after two finals loses to them ….see lebron doesn't get it these stories are why they are so great they endured as players and made it through to the other side....the loses made it sweeter...
In 2010, Dr Buss (RIP) could have added a 2nd part to that sentence as well that could also never be said again: "The Lakers have never beaten the Celtics in a Game 7."
pat riley won the coach of the year three times but didn't equal phil jackson who only won it once and the passing from the legendary magic johnson didn't equal the scoring from the legendary kareem abdul-jabbar so the 1980 1982 and 1987 finals mvp should've been awarded to a legend i did do and/or probably will really LOVE named kareem abdul-jabbar just imagine if phil jackson was the head coach of the 1980's lakers when they had magic johnson and even better kareem abdul-jabbar
