[OC] The Celtics–Lakers rivalry Posted by twintig5 Tags:DataData Is BeautifulDataIsBeautiful 7 comments * source: [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtics%E2%80%93Lakers_rivalry) * tools: Datawrapper, photopea *Minneapolis* Lakers?! I didn’t know this. The name makes a heck of a lot more sense now! Lakers have been more consistent but that 60s run of championships with Bill Russell really keeps Boston in the convo Lakers are washed. West is dead. (Not a Celtics fan) am I tripping or does that mean either the Celtics or Lakers have won almost 50% of all the total championships since 1947? like 45%? I love how obvious the Bill Russell years are, but it would be a good annotation for those that don’t know (1956-1969). EDIT: also the Magic Johnson v Larry Bird Rivalry (1979-1991) minor suggestion, it would be great if you denoted all the finals they played against each other. maybe with a hollow dot or a larger one?
