The last time the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors met in the Finals, the world was a very different place. NBA players still wore Chuck Taylors, nobody had ever golfed on the moon, and the Dubs had not yet become one of the most successful NBA franchises of all time.

That’s exactly how many rings the Warriors have today as they prepare to face the Celtics once again, 58 years later.
