The first NBA Finals match-up between the two teams was in 1959 when the Boston Celtics swept the then Minneapolis Lakers for their first of 8 straight titles. However the rivalry truly originated in the 1960s, when the Celtics defeated the Lakers six times in eight years (1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1968, and 1969) to claim the championship, and featured greats such as Bill Russell and Bob Cousy for Boston and Elgin Baylor and Jerry West for Los Angeles. In three of those NBA Finals ('62, '66, and '69), the series went to seven games, with the Celtics winning each time.More info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakers-Celt…

the rivalry started in 1960- but it really got serious in the 80s- it was the first time the lakers and celtics faced wach other in the play offs, and it was a rough game because larry bird would keep dogging at magic johnson.- it got worst because later the celtics and lakers would face each other in the finals 10 out of 11 playoff appearances and each game was dirty.

Back in the 60s when Bill Russell was there, then to the Magic/Larry era, and then now.
