With the hated rivals tied for overall NBA titles, fans know a lot is at stake for Lakers and Celtics fans during this year's playoffs.
Driven by deep-seated disdain, Darrian Woods — the self-proclaimed pettiest Lakers fan, as his X.com handle suggests — can’t bear the thought of another Boston championship banner raised in TD Garden. “Having won more championships is the only thing they've ever had because otherwise, there's no debate on the greatest franchise in basketball history,” said Woods, 33. “It's the Lakers.” The Celtics are threatening to pull ahead in the all-time NBA championships tally.
Rivera, who has had cerebral palsy since birth, watched the pregame show on his phone at the pub while sitting in his wheelchair covered in Celtics gear. He has found the last month invigorating, reveling in the Lakers' early postseason exit and the Celtics' success. “I love it. I love it. I love it,” Rivera said. Sam Hendricks, donning his green Bill Russell jersey, remembers the pivotal moment in his Celtics fandom.
