Philadelphia 76ers vs Los Angeles Lakers

The Sixers and Los Angeles Lakers have a history dating back to 1950, when the two met in the playoffs. At the time Philadelphia was known as the Syracuse Nationals and the Lakers were playing in Minneapolis. They'd lose that series, as well as the series in '54. The two teams would meet again in 1980 with Philly once again losing. It wasn't until three years later that the Sixers would get their revenge and win a championship. It wouldn't be until 2001, when a Lakers team lead by Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant would beat Allen Iverson's Sixer squad.
