What's up everybody. It's your favorite show, favorite show, get a bucket. I'm your host Train, as usual. Hope you're all having a wonderful, wonderful day today. Now y'all know how this goes. We're going to talk about some spokes, right, that's right. I said spokes. I'm talking about my daggone accent. Y'all know I'm a Laker fan. Y'all know I'm a Laker fan. We've been a little active in these trades. Y'all heard me talk about the Luka acquisition, right, and I know y'all think it's weird that we got them, or maybe not based on our history, just saying my question is this Is the Lakers Celtics rivalry renewed?
Speaker 1:You know the Lakers and Celtics, this is one of sports' greatest rivalries. I think the only one that I put ahead of this is Duke versus UNC. You know my Blue Devils have been battling the Tar Heels for quite some time, right, and that one's aided because of the college atmosphere. Lakers and Celtics, you kind of got to be a little dominant. Reach the finals, right, but we still have a little bit of that rivalry, if you will, if I see Celtics fans, you kind of got to be a little dominant. Reach the finals, right, but we still have a little bit of that rivalry, if you will, if I see Celtics fans. Some of them are annoying, some of them don't recognize that their team just cheat ultimately and they do what they do Celtics, hence the name Celtics.
Speaker 1:Now I say the rivalry is renewed because we remember Magic Johnson, larry Bird, right, that's the reason why most folks at least think about the rivalry. We also got before that too, where the Celtics kind of got the best of everyone really in the league. I'm not just going to say us the league, right, it was an eight-team league back then. So you know I give them their flowers still. Some people knock the old heads because of eight teams in the league. But you play who you play against, but it's been rival like the rivalry has been happening for quite some time if you're paying attention. So last season Celtics, y'all know they won the finals, they won the championship. They won the championship. They played against Luka when he was on the Mavs. Right Now we got him. We mean Luka of the Lakers and we got Luka, him meaning Luka. Should we have a rivalry renewed?
Speaker 1:And when I say rivalry renewed again, we got to get to the finals, ladies and gentlemen, and with the signing of luca, pairing him with lebron james, will this be the start of a back and forth era? I don't know, I don't know. I remember. I remember I remember magic had kareem. So what luca got got got braun is that how we doing it now?
Speaker 1:Like during the 80s, the titles basically ran through Bird and Magic. Bird won two rings in his prime. Third one he won at age 24. So if you want to give him some grace and say three in his prime, cool, magic won three in his prime. Prime for me is 25 to 30, age-wise. Jason Tatum and Luka are trying to be pegged as Larry and Magic in this situation. It is kind of cool too, because it's kind of reversed in some ways too right, if you think about it. But I want to see if this is actually going to happen. Are we going to meet them in the finals? Will this pairing occur? Because over the next five seasons it's going to be quite critical.
Speaker 1:When you think about the freak of natures, right, they usually take about five to seven years before their dominance occurs and usually start winning championships in like seven. And I don't know if y'all been paying attention or not. There's a guy by the name Victor Wimben Nyama who's considered a freak of nature, right, we know Ant's considered a freak of nature too, but when we talk about freak of nature, it's like Shaq. He won his first championship year seven. He did go to the finals before that too. Keep in mind MJ won his first year or championship year seven. Braun championship first in seven. Giannis he won his first championship in six. Jokic won his first championship in five.
Speaker 1:So I mean again, I mentioned Anthony Edwards. Will he win in two seasons? I don't know. Like we got to see Wimby. Could he start winning 2030? Because that's that seven-year mark. We'll have to find out. And then you even got players like a Cooper Flagg and AJ DeBontef. Let's see what happens with them too. Like there's a lot of things that could shake out in the next couple years. 2030 is not that far away, ladies and gentlemen. So this lakers celtics rivalry it has to. Like they have to reach the finals and again going back to shack, speeding up to yoki, some of those. And keep in mind too, if you don't think Yoke is a freak of nature, okay, cool, let's focus on Giannis. Then there's still a trend that you can follow, and Yoke outdid them. So there's a possibility that Wimby could even snap year four and win the title Spurs champions in two years. That's crazy. That sounds weird.
Speaker 1:So again, ladies and gentlemen, the lakers celtics rivalry. I want to put a little asterisk on is it renewed? Because, yes, we do have luca. Yes, the celtics did get to the finals just last year and luca was right there. We got a lot of it's an uphill battle for my laker squad to get to that finals. I ain't gonna hold you. There's a world where we get there. We got got some climbing to do, though, and then when you think about the history too of the final like of the Lakers Celtics, oh my God, like they're up nine to three. So I mean, if we do get a renewed rivalry, I would appreciate it. If we start dog walking these boys, because this has been tragic. I must say, like I appreciate it in 2010, like when we won, that was so helpful, because if we lost, bro, oh my God, I'm going to cry, like especially after how we lost in 2008. That was just an arable feeling, so terrible feeling. So, again, the lakers celtics rivalry. Clearly there's something, because in 08, I was hurt when we lost and happy as hell when we won. So, going forward, if it is renewed, luca and whoever else we got on the squad. Can we please win?
Speaker 1:I don't want to hear these celt. We know they cheat. They're here to sell ticks, hence the name. I've been saying that ESPN tried to steal my stuff and did not give me no credit, and I actually put it out there before they did. I already made a video about that.
Speaker 1:But, ladies and gentlemen, I want to hear from y'all Do you think this historic rivalry is renewed? Will the NBA try to feature us in the finals? Or are there other matchups that you would rather see, like maybe you guys might want to see Celtics versus Nuggets I'm sure OKC got to get in there at some point in time, right Hell, maybe y'all might want to see Memphis get a little bucket or the Rockets Just saying there's a couple teams we got to shake. The Warriors still ain't out Like. I mean, they got Jimmy Jeffrey, jordan, steph Curry. That's tough, that's a tough duo. But there is a road to the Lakers and Celtics rivalry being renewed.
Speaker 1:But, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, that's all the time I have for you guys. So please, let's be patient and see what happens with this rivalry. Fingers crossed that it can come back and we can get some excitement again as Lakers fans, but please like, subscribe, comment, tell anyone who's anyone about the show. I appreciate you all for listening. Again, my name is Trey. I'm the host of Get a Bucket. Hope you all have a good one, take care.
