It wasn’t the trendy pick going into the playoffs, but NBA fans are geared up for a re-match of two seasons ago in the NBA Finals.

The NBA postseason will conclude with the Boston Celtics taking on the Los Angeles Lakers in one of the NBA’s longest rivalries.

The Celtics defeated the Lakers 4-2 in the 2008 NBA Finals, but the Lakers bounced right back to defeat the Orlando Magic 4-1 in 2009.

These two teams have proven that owning the league’s best record isn’t everything, and that a solid “team” game can overcome individual performances in a battle tested seven game series.

The Celtics have shown that even with age, veteran experience can prevail against younger teams.

The Lakers have proven that Kobe isn’t too old to be the best, and a deep team can beat down on the run and gun west.

The 2010 NBA Playoffs featured much more than just the Lakers and Celtics.
