Own a truly amazing slice of Boston Celtics history! This amazing combo gives you the original commemorative posters published by the team's official photographer, Dick Raphael, to celebrate the legendary mid-1980s championship seasons of 1983-84 and 1985-86. The first poster, "Celtics Pride", features eight classic photographic images from the 1984 victory run, including: Larry Bird's legendary "towel-whip" from Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers; Cedric Maxwell cutting to the hoop between LA's James Worthy and Michael Cooper; the crafty Kevin McHale dishing off a no-look pass while being checked by a confused Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; guard Gerald Henderson unloading a super jump shot over the outstretched arm of Magic Johnson; Dennis Johnson fighting for a loose ball in an Eastern Conference Semifinal game against the New York Knicks; Robert Parish battling the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals; the opening tip-off at the Boston Garden in a late-season matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers; and the official team portrait, featuring all the players along with coach KC Jones and staff. The second poster, "Sweet Sixteen", duplicates the beauty of poster #1 with seven amazing shots from the '86 run: Parish grabbing a rebound during the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Atlanta Hawks; Bird launching a short-distance jumper against Atlanta; DJ delivering a pinpoint pass on the parquet; Danny Ainge dribbling the ball up court during the NBA Finals against the Houston Rockets; Bill Walton under the basket during one of his super-sub moments against Milwaukee in the Eastern Conference Semifinals; Bird at his acrobatic best against three Rockets in the paint; McHale posting up against Houston's Jim Petersen; and the '86 official team portrait. Laid out brilliantly in a green-and-white graphic design surrounding the official "lucky leprechaun" logo and a listing of all Celtics championship seasons, these amazing full-sized posters are both a beautiful pair for the wall of any long-time fan, and a valuable collector's item for years to come.
