  I think this was the all-time best era of the NBA. Absolutely fantastic.

  These were the Lakers that I loved the most. 80’s basketball at its finest.

  The media, East coast, woke up a sleeping giant. The country and fans forgot how great a player this man was

  Absolutely love the redemption story of Kareem in these Finals. The east coast media woke up a sleeping giant.

  Imagine being on the receiving end of a skyhook. Devastating.

  I remember this like it was yesterday. I was so stressed out watching this game. So proud of the Lakers that day.

  Lifelong Celtics fan here.  I watched this game live and was stunned at how dominant Kareem was all game.  Looking back, as hard as it is for me to admit, the '85 Lakers may be the best team of the 80's.

  Kareem redeemed himself. Michael Cooper killed the Celtics in this game. He hit big shot after big shot. I loved it and I remember it. Mitch kupchek had a nice contribution. &nbsp;Just having his big body out there to bang with Parish and Mchale was huge.
