The Celtic-Laker Rivalry is the oldest, most famous, and (in my opinion) the best rivalry in the NBA.
Championships: Celtics: 17
Lakers: 16
Finals Appearances: Celtics: 20
Lakers: 30
Division Titles: Celtics: 27
Lakers: 31
Missed Playoffs how many times: Celtics: 10
Lakers: 5
All-Time Winning %: Celtics: 59.4
Lakers: 61.8
So, overall, Lakers because of their numbers and better players.

The Celtics. The Lakers will be tied with the Celtics if they win this year (17 championships)
Celtics
The Cleveland Cavaliers are better because LeBron James shoots the ball better than Kobe Bryant.
Los Angles Lakers is my team Azeez. Whoever we play we smash them. Boston Celtics is some trash. Lakers is better than boring Celtics. We go to the "NBA FINALS" ever year if we play the Celtics they can never beat us. Can`t stop "Kobe Bryant". Will make a shot in your face. "LOS ANGLES LAKERS ALL DAY". "BOO Celtics".
The Los Angeles Lakers have won 16 championships, but there is one teams that has more, the Boston Celtics with 17, so out of The Spurs and The Lakers i would probably go with the Lakers.
The Lakers or the Celtics.
The Lakers or the Celtics.
Through the 2008 regular season, the team with the most NBA titles is the Boston Celtics with 16. The team with the best winning percentage is the Los Angeles Lakers at .614 (2905-1824).
i guess its because the lakers have made more finals apperences than any other team in sports. you don't have to agree with me but i think the celtics are the better team because the 11 times they've faced the lakers in the finals, the won 8 and they've won the most the most titles than any other team(17). its hard to tell which is the better team,its just how u look at it.
The Lakers are definitely popular, but not the most popular team. The most popular team is the Celtics, followed by the Lakers.
the boston celtics and they suck
It's either the Boston celtics or the L.A Lakers.
