Finally, it's NBA Finals day. Game 1. In Boston.

It's been six days since the Lakers beat the Spurs to advance to the Finals.

The Celtics and Lakers have met 10 times previously in the Finals. Remember 1984? The Celtics won that series. Many fans think the momentum of the entire series changed on one play in Game 4 when the Celtics' Kevin McHale knocked the Lakers' Kurt Rambis to the floor.

Today, McHale is in the front office of the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's the guy who traded Kevin Garnett to the Celtics last winter. And Rambis? He's on Phil Jackson's coaching staff with the Lakers.

This video clip will certainly get everyone in the mood for tonight's battle.
