"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"

"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship from the movie Mannequin was the number one the song , Tanduay won the Open conference in the PBA, Ronald Reagan was US president, The reigning Tour de France champion is Greg LeMond, Coventry City won the FA cup and a band named Guns and Roses were releasing their debut album. The was no cable and satellite TV, internet, wifi , broadband or cellphones. Nobody have heard of a guy named Michael Jordan.

The year was 1987.

This was the last time The Celtics and Lakers have meet for the NBA finals, a rivalry that started the decade.

How time flies by, its been 21 years .

Growing up near an American air base, we had special a UHF antenna so that we can get signals from US Arm forces TV. The best finals in the 80's live on TV during breakfast, no need to wait for the late night news.The games were broadcast after a week on local TV , after they get thier VCR copies from the States.

I still can name the Lakers ; Magic, Jabbar, Cooper, Scott, Worthy, Rambis and AC Green.
Yeah, I was Laker fan back them, they had more team work. Celtics were build around Bird.

How 21 years have passed so fast.

I have been waiting for NBA final match up for years.
But this time I'm going for the Celtics 4-3 on 7 games.
