The Greatest Single-Season NBA Team Ever
This DVD set contains all six games of the 1986 NBA Finals, in which the Boston Celtics defeated the Houston Rockets to claim their sixteenth NBA championship. It also contains the official NBA championship video for 1985-86.

The '86 Celtics, I believe, are the greatest single-season team ever. They won 67 games and rolled to the championship in an era before the league was diluted by expansion, and their strong team play and crisp passing (I've NEVER seen a team that passes the ball like they did) are on full display on this set.

There are only a couple of glitches in this set. The CBS pre-game intros are missing from the first two games--I don't know if there was not room on the DVD for them, or if they were just left off. In Games 3 and 5, the score updates that normally flash at the bottom of the screen following baskets do not display, meaning that you have to try to keep score mentally while watching the games.

I hope that the NBA releases a similar set (without the above glitches) of the 1984 Finals soon!

The Real Deal
If you love Larry Bird or the Boston Celtics this is a MUST PURCHASE for you. It is HISTORY! I watched this with a big smile on my face...this is an era of great UNSELFISH basketball players.

Highlight Reel
Having looked forward to the release of this set it was a pleasure to get it home and pop the first disc into the DVD player. The games are presented more or less as they appeared on the television broadcasts at the time and if you're a Celtics fan or basketball fan in general you will no doubt enjoy seeing these games. It's great to see plays that ended up in those all time Larry Bird highlight reels within the context of the game.
