What do Magic, Kareem, and Bird have to do with this series?

[DriveFor5]

I see a lot of references to these guys. These guys haven't played in 20 years. The Celtics are elite, but the Lakers aren't. So what's with the comparisons?

Magic and Kareem used to play for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Larry Bird used to play for the Boston Celtics.
