When it comes to rivalries, every sports has them. While the L.A. Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox are both iconic baseball teams, they don’t necessarily have a huge rivalry as they are meeting in the World Series for the first time. However, the cities themselves do have a history elsewhere…
The two most successful NBA basketball teams in history are hands down the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics, and the two have traded punches when it comes to NBA titles historically. This is thanks in part to the contributions of legendary players Magic Johnson for the Lakers and Larry Bird for the Celtics.
Some clever producer decided to use the rich history to their advantage ahead of Game 5 when a promo came on to welcome viewers to the game. Suddenly Johnson and Bird were squaring off in a very entertaining clip.
No matter who you’re cheering for, sports fans can appreciate the sheer legend value of Magic and Bird dishing out chirps to each other. Needless to say, fans absolutely loved it…
The two were all smiles as they were chirping, and it brought a smile to the face of fans. Who says sports can’t cross over?
