Somehow, I doubt this is a coincidence but more of a marketing ploy to take advantage or exploit the success of the 2007-2008 Celtics season. I mean it took twenty-two years to conceive this DVD set. Come on... Still, the NBA or the company that is distributing this should do a series of DVD sets of all the championship seasons of the Celtics and other franchises in the NBA for those fans or basketball fans.

I have an old VHS official video of that year, as well as the 83-84 and 86-87 seasons.

Some hilarious 1980s music/highlight montages! :rofl:

I'll say! Right up with the montages from Rocky IV!

The best was the cheesy quasi-rap song "14 Johnson's playing the game, 14 men with the same last name"...**** comedy GOLD! :rofl:

That sounds kind of...inappropriate, actually!

It's not....it had to do with all the players in the NBA at the time with the last name Johnson.

It's a horrendous (and by that I mean awesome) song...someone should find it and post it.

I've been looking for the song and have had absolutely no luck....

I have three of these sets (85 Lakers, 91 Bulls, 94 Rockets) and they are really cool. They include not just the original highlight videos but complete broadcasts of every game in the championship series. The video quality isn't all that great, but if you like watching old games these are excellent products. I only wish they made more.

I wish they'd do it for more Celtics teams.

I have the old school 1980s yearbook videos, which are cool and funny at the same time. I bought them years ago (don't remember from where) but they're buried somewhere, probably my parent's basement...

Ah, memories...
