Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar And The Showtime Lakers Reunite In Maui

The showtime Lakers who had the likes of Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, and Byron Scott faced off against the Celtics who had Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Dennis Johnson on multiple occasions.

While the Celtics did defeat them once to win the title, the Lakers had the last laugh defeating them twice and winning the title a total of 5 times in the 80s.
