1980's-Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics- Bird, Magic, Mchale, Kareem...need i say more?
1980's Boston Celtics vs Detroit Pistons- Bird stole the ball!!!
1980's-Chicago Bulls vs Detroit Pistons- Jordan Rules kept the Bulls on lock
1980's-Detroit Pistons vs Los Angeles Lakers- 2 amazing finals series
