Blast From The Past: ’85 Lakers

One of the most memorable championships of the 15 the Lakers have won came in 1985, when for the first time in franchise history they beat the Celtics in the NBA Finals. They also beat the Celtics for the title in 1987, but none was sweeter than the ’85 victory. Making it much more sweeter for L.A. fans was the Lakers winning the title on Boston’s famed parquet floor in the old Garden. Eight Hall of Famers played in the series and 2 more (Pat Riley and K.C. Jones) served as coaches.
