That's what this week's Sports Illustrated has called the upcoming Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals. Spinning off the SI cover non-jinx earlier this year, and an SI Vault look into previous Lakers-Celtics covers, here's what they've thrown out there for this week's issue ... another Magic-Bird matchup.
Staff writer Jack McCallum looks at the current series and comes to the conclusion: More than any championship series in two decades, this Final - the 11th time that these franchises have met with the title on the line - will be a remembrance of things past, a chance to reexamine old prejudices and look for new meanings. For Celtics-Lakers was always about much more than hoops.
