@M Soccer only lasts in poor countries or countries without big sports markets. Soccer will never be more popular in countries that already have a big sport market like US and Canada and Australia. It's the opposite, soccer will eventually get overtaken, probably, but only if there's money to be made.
I mean people are sick of rivalries these days y'know, like whenever Luka and Trae play together and NBA keep posting it, people be like "Stop pushing this for a rivalry"
god i wish the crowd was still this insane, dont get me wrong Celtics fans are still the best and most passionate in the NBA today but THIS, this is fucking perfection.
I know, it was pretty awesome, but if elimination games were really close then the fans kind of got in the way of how the game ended, namely the 1988 nba finals. It is definitely better the way it is now in terms of fairness, but yeah it would be cool if the fans stormed the court like that still.
I loved Bird's composure on the court. 2 free throws with a mob ready to burst onto the floor. Rude fans ACTUALLY running out as he's making the first one. Bedlam! And he just calmly steps up to line, sets his feet and does what he always does, swish.

80's basketball was basketball at its apex. It was a culmination of skill, finesse, and physicality. Sure there's still plenty of skill, finesse, and athleticism in the modern game but the physicality along with the passion is gone. No more hand-checking, hard fouls constantly, severe trash-talking and heated rivalries to the utmost degree. We'll never see basketball fans like this or physicality ever again.
What? There is so much more skill in today's game than back then. 2:32. A shooting guard, Danny Ainge, at the 3 point line with a defender sagging off 8ft and he is not taking the shot? Both teams would get absolutely hammered by today's top teams. The defence by current standard is atrocious. Maybe you have the occasional hard foul. Big deal. But that defence would be shredded by a team like Houston or the GSW of the last couple of years. Half of the players on the court could not shoot a long ball, accuracy and range is just poor. And these were the top teams. Today's defence needs to cover soooo much more real estate. Anyone who claims that these were better basketball players than contemporary players are simply delusional.
What a showcase of superstars led by bird and magic. Along with the Celtics big three you had dj and Ainge. And on the lakers you also had worthy and Kareem who I can’t stand as a person but was a great player.
80s and 90s basketball were prime years. Modern basketball pales in comparison. Look how exciting all this was/is. It's just night and day in comparison to what we see today, not even close.
Thanks for the video. Funny thing is that Cedric Maxwell had a great game, especially at the foul line. However, I wouldn't put that in a best plays video.
Alexander Melnikov yeah they pulled an incredible victory in both those games.. that’s like when people start making excuses for lebron it’s like look at bird his team wasn’t near as talented as lakers but they found a way to win..lebron had wade bosh.. then Allen bosh and wade.. then love n Kyrie m yeah with Durant gsw were more talented but the cavs n lebron had plenty of chances to win games n blew it n blew the series.. if lebron is he goat he’s gotta get that done.. in 2016 his team was just as talented if not more imo.. kyrie completely outplayed curry in that series the best player on the warriors.. when ur second best player outplayed their best player it doesn’t make u the goat for winning.. look at what bird n Celtics did it was all time great
i cant wait to see celtics finally win a ring with tatum and brown///if tatums ankles hold up and brown finally can go left that is.................no more excuses now they got holiday and porzin............
the contrast of styles here, Lakers are more apprehensive and calculating. and the Celtics are just aggressive and explode every time they get the ball
Larry Bird was clearly the star of the team, but I find it very nice how Cedric Maxwell stepped up on game seven and leaded the team to get the win, and Larry knew Maxwell and didn't start a competition just because he was the star. That team was about doing what was necessary to win titles, and that is just awesome as fuck
The last time the Celtics beat the Lakers before the Lakers broke the curse, with Magic redeeming himself for his dreadful performance in this series. That turnover down the stretch when the score was within 3 was HUGE.
Watching this reminded me how outdated the Boston Garden was- even by 1984 standards. No air conditioning, obstructed view seats all over the place, the hallways leading into that arena reeked of piss like you wouldn't believe. It took a decade or so after this before the new place opened. I think the 88 Stanley Cup final was the straw that broke the camel's back when the lights went out during the game and the building was evacuated.
For one brief second, Larry Bird was the UFC fighting champion of the world ……..as he got off the court at the end of this championship night !!!!! Wonder how many jaws BIRD broke getting to his ICE Cold Beer , in the locker room ???
The Lakers were showtime, fast-breaks and skyhooks, but the Celtics could out fast-break anyone when they wanted to. So many good passers AND finishers. When the Celtics stalled out in half-court, I'd get worried, even with Bird and Mchale (the low post moves he had...mind-bending). When they were running and full court passing, they were dominant.
As all time as this series was, I'm glad that this was the last court storming in NBA history. Boston was being Boston, that night. Look at that clip. Lakers got beat up by the fans. Magic got spit on!
I came here because people were complaining about court storming in college. Kareem literally had a guy jump on his back as the game ended. And rightfully punched him in the face.
@@reginaldpeters5142 I'm a Celtics fan but the Lakers definitely had the edge in the 80s, not just in number of championships but the then-rare two-peat in 87 and 88.
