LCranstonKnows on January 5, 2025 5:33 pm *Minneapolis* Lakers?! I didn’t know this. The name makes a heck of a lot more sense now!
DaOlWuWopte on January 5, 2025 5:50 pm Lakers have been more consistent but that 60s run of championships with Bill Russell really keeps Boston in the convo
grimmxsleeper on January 5, 2025 6:22 pm am I tripping or does that mean either the Celtics or Lakers have won almost 50% of all the total championships since 1947? like 45%?
big_oopth on January 5, 2025 6:41 pm I love how obvious the Bill Russell years are, but it would be a good annotation for those that don’t know (1956-1969). EDIT: also the Magic Johnson v Larry Bird Rivalry (1979-1991)
