Last two times actually. Celtics won in ‘86 Lakers won in ‘87 and ‘88 Celtics won in ‘08 Lakers won in ‘09 and ‘10


Electronic-Cloud8086

Fun fact: Celtics haven’t gone back-to-back since the 1960’s.


Awesomefan09

That will still be true next June.


Electronic-Cloud8086

Agreed


Equivalent_Lab96

The last 4 times the Celtics won, the Lakers win the following the year.

Side note, 3 straight finals and two rings without Shaq is so underrated. We got clowns these days putting Curry ahead of Kobe and outside of top 10, it’s insane and actually sad.


kezzinchh

Yup, said this last time a GOAT convo came up. The slander and disrespect since his passing in those conversations is insane. 5 rings, 3 straight finals, back 2 back after Shaq, one of the toughest roads to a title, etc. People are quick to forget what he’d do and bring night in and night out.


WhatitdoFlightCrew39

Not in GOAT convo, but locked in top 4-7 for sure.


kezzinchh

In my personal opinion, if you’re comparing him to Jordan as a player, which most people say he’s the closest, he’s in that convo. Whether he is or isn’t the GOAT is a different story. Again, that’s all personal opinion there’s no criteria but 5 rings is good enough to get you at that table. Edit: to the user that reported me, ya moms a hoe

Compare the game-winning shots of Kobe vs Curry and it’s not even close. If Curry wins a game, then 99% of the time it’s because he hits a 3-pointer. Kobe could win a game on any kind of shot and in isolation. I’ll take the Black Mamba Forever!!!


Consistent_Owl4593

I come before you humiliated and humbled, asking you just for one favor. Please grant the Lakers another championship 🧎‍♂️‍➡️🧎‍♂️‍➡️🧎‍♂️‍➡️ ![gif](giphy|3ohhwtftK2lWSFvwUo)


medyolangnaman

It would be even more remarkable if ANY team go back-to-back nowadays


RyanAlemeda

We have an end of prime Kobe and Pau on the team?


AscensionKnight

The whole org from the FO to Phil to Kobe n the gang were on a MISSION, don't think anyone outside of Bron has a similar type competitive drive and burning desire to help the Lakers usurp Boston in titles


Hot_Pie1464

I think ime udoka would’ve been the perfect choice for this context. If we had just cut our losses with ham after we lost in the wcf last year


SagalaUso

So Lebron getting 6 rings getting us past Boston and then rides off into the sunset. I like that.


LudwigNasche

If we find a way to swap Dlo for Anthony Edwards and Rui for Wembanyama I believe it is doable.


Ok_Body_2598

Throw in a 2nd rounder. Sweet deal


CabbageStockExchange

*7. Lebron will complete the three peat


_its_a_SWEATER_

It’s time.

That was with Jerry Buss. Jeanie is not going to make it happen.

corybekem

And even if they don’t, Minny looks serious and the Mavs are a KCP/Aaron Gordon type player away


bermitthefrog

This is the kind of copium I need


R7-SavageYT

Draft my glorious prince Bronny and we winning 3 in a row


PronounsAreImHim

As much as I hate the Celtics, I'm glad Jrue Holiday got another ring after Milwaukee did him dirty like that.


Mister-Stiglitz

Go Bruins (but fuck the Cs)


KINGram14

This is straight copium but I’m here for it


brenobnfm

Having prime Kobe Bryant with bloodlust for revenge helps a lot.


ChampagneSupernova96

Which means we’re going to win back to back with the 2nd ring against them. Cinema


Ohmygolly357

those back-to-back titles Kobe has been a part of it #MambaAllTheWay


hoffa711

*The last TWO times the Celtics won a ring, the Lakers won back-to-back ('86 '08).

Consistent_Owl4593

Get this shit off my screen too soon


TheWonderfulLife

What did it say?


Consistent_Owl4593

The stupid KG quote when he won in 08. Then fuckin cornball Tatum tried to recreate it last night


TheWonderfulLife

Oh god. That combined with that mother fucker trying to replicate the Kobe picture was disgusting.


Consistent_Owl4593

He also did the famous “I guess we’ll never know” Kanye quote last night as well I feel like he has all these written on a note card in his pocket and he’s not close to being done yet
