| Our weekly column Throwback Thursday took an extended vacation, but is back for another run with a bang.
Tonight, one of the greatest rivalries continues between the NBA Champion Boston Celtics and the MVP led Los Angeles Lakers.?? The 1980’s were practically owned by the two teams.?? All of the 10 NBA Finals from 1980-1989 featured either the Celts or the Lakers and the two met on the big stage in ’84, ’85, and ’87. Converse, at the time, was the official outfitter of the NBA and endorser of three time MVP Larry Bird and later to be three time MVP Magic Johnson.?? The two were part of an unforgettable ad campaign to promote the Converse Weapon. Have a look at the some nostalgic ads that were used to promote the Converse Weapon after the jump and let us know who is your pick for tonight – Lakers or Celtics? |
