NBA Championships DVD August 9, 2010
Frisco Guava
Bought the DVD as a gift for my twenty-something son and he absolutely loves it. A trip down memory lane of basketball at its finest. a wonderful reminder to him of why he enjoys the game and how marvelous the players were from that era. I forsee more purchases of this DVD series in the future. Presented well and captures the essence of game through the interviews and the voices calling the games, it really takes you back in time, very memorable. It is one to be watched, over and over and over!
 Lakers versus Celtics July 11, 2010

I am really thankful for these DVD sets from the NBA as I did not get a chance to watch this series during it's original run. The Showtime Lakers, of course, are legendary. Along with 5 NBA championships and 9 Finals appearances, the 1985 team was the first Lakers team to finally beat the hated Celtics in the Finals.
This 7 DVD-set contains the six Finals games along with the 84-85 championship video. This would've been perfect except for the missing parts of game 1. One note I'd like to make. Dick Stockton is one colorful commentater. With 4:47 left in the 4th quarter, the Celtics bench jump to their feet after a timeout. Dick Stockton: "the celtics bench, is UP and AROUSED".
Also, the legendary Lakers commentator Chick Hearn is given some air time for about a quarter during one game. It was nice hearing him and his trademark expressions. I wish this set would've included an alternate track with Chick's radio broadcast, would've been a fun listen. Legendary series, Lakers vs. Celtics. Get it and relive the memories!
Magic Johnson el mejor de todos January 27, 2010

La verdad cuando supe que NBA Entertaiment publico este set de DVDs me emocione pues nunca vi las finales de los 80's, o por lo menos en buena calidad, y aqui esta el campeonato de 1985 un clásico Bird 33 Vrs Magic 32 los dos mejores de la historia sorry Jordan pero es al verdad, pero esta bien los 3 mejores de todos los tiempos, lastima que el DVD 1 el partido 1 no esta completo se supone que por X motivo el canal CBS no lo grabo no existe material de los primeros cuartos lastima, pero el resto esta de lujo, la calidad muy buena restaurada y un gran sonido, el ultimo DVD trae un material raro y no visto de esa epoca que viva MAGIC JOHNSON 32

What a wonderful trip down memory lane. This was the era when basketball was fun to watch. The Lakers of the 80's had alot of scoring along with run,run, and more running. With Kareem, Magic, Worthy and company, the Lakers had the perfect combination of height,speed and depth that led to a World Championship. It is a shame that game one is not complete, since this may have been a motivating factor for the rest of the series. It also was a real treat to hear Chick Hearn from the radio broadcast during one of the games. I grew up listening to Chick during the '70's and '80's. He was the best at describing the action along with his "word's eye view" and his catch phrases, "the light is out in the refrigerator", and "no harm, no foul,no blood, no ambulance". The Lakers should have beaten the Celtics last time but due to bad passing and not playing smart, they still beat the Celtics 2 out of 3 during the '80's. Bring back all of these classic games.
Better quality than my old tapes June 18, 2008

I recorded this series on video from TV back in the day and kept them around all these years. I just bought this dvd box set and the quality is excellent. So far I only watched games 2 & 3 from this new dvd set. It's cool that they kept the old CBS introduction and music with the digital basketball bouncing into the net. My only complaint on game 2 is that the picture flips at different times throughout the first half - enough to be annoying. Game 3 cuts over to the Chick Hearn broadcast in the 4th quarter and the video quality looks even better than the 1st 3 quarters on CBS.
It's refreshing to see a clean picture while watching these games, and by clean I mean no stupid digital crap jumping in your face and clogging the TV screen as today's media crew loves to overdo the tricks while blocking the action.
And for those who complain that the entire game 1 isn't shown - you must be Celtic fans. I saw that game once and I don't care to view it again. Those were imposters in the purple jerseys that day - not the Lakers I knew. I pretty much recorded over that one too! (kept the 1st quarter I think)
I give this 5 stars so far. I want to see the 1984 NBA series come out on dvd too so I can get a sharp copy of the Lakers blowing out the Celtics (with a record 47 pts in one quarter!) in game 3 that year.
If you can't handle the short shorts from this era, don't get the dvd. If like me you hate the skirts that players (and all guys) wear these days then this is the dvd for you.
