Any avid NBA fan would know that the most heated rivalry, steeped in decades of tradition and titles, is the LA Lakers and Boston Celtics. Recently, Cedric Maxwell (1981 Finals MVP, 1984 Game 7 Hero) and Michael Cooper (5x Champion & famed Larry-Legend stopper) sat down and chatted , one-on-one, for the 1st time since the Lakers devastated the Celtics in six games of the 1985 NBA Finals. Worst part? LA crippled Boston on the old Boston Garden.
That Lakers victory marked the first time that LA had beaten the Celtics and the first time since drafting Bill Russell, that the Celtics lost a deciding game on their famed parquet floor.
