Customer Review: Amazing NBA Series continues to set standard
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
As the sports DVD boom continues, the NBA shows it is head and shoulders above all the major professional sports in this field. While MLB and NHL DVD's give you the full games but lack bonus features; the NFL has also done this with the NFL teams and they started strong with the elite teams (Steelers, Packers, Cowboys, etc) they have watered it down and given less bang with your buck.
The NBA through NBA TV created "The Dynasty Series" and its continued excellence wins again with "The Boston Celtics"
When your purchase this set you get 5 dual discs (discs that have material on both sides) which allows you to have close to 22 hours of material.
If you purchase at Wal-Mart or hear at Amazon you will spend no more than $25-$30 for this set. That is a beyond a great deal. Unlike the competitor leagues this NBA series not only gives you documentaries but full games.
This set gives you the "Celtic Dynasty" which is an hour documentary on the Celtics rise to basketball supermacy. You get a bunch of other featurettes that concern Celtic playoff runs in the 1970's and 1980's.
What is the meat and potatos of this set is the games you receive the:
*1969 NBA Finals Game 7 Celtics-Lakers - 4th quarter only
*1976 NBA Finals Game 5 Celtics-Suns - the legendary game that went multiple OTs
*1981 NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 7 Celtics-Sixers - Larry Bird matures and guides the Celtics to an Game 7 victory over Dr. J
*1984 NBA Finals Games 4 and 7 Celtics-Lakers - Bird and Magic's first meeting in the NBA Finals and you get 2 great games
*1986 NBA Finals Game 4 Celtics-Rockets - The Celtics steamroll the Twin Towers
*1987 NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 5 Celtics-Pistons - Larry Bird steals the ball
If you are a new Celtics fan looking for material from their recent championship run with "The Boston 3-Party" you will be disappointed this is an older set, but if you love Celtics and know someone who enjoys great baseketball this is a must buy.
Customer Review: Great DVD Set For Celtics Fans
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This five-disc set chronicles the history of the Boston Celtics, the National Basketball Association's most successful franchise.
The first two discs contain miscellaneous features highlighting the complete history of the team, from the early days of the NBA to today. There is footage covering the Russell-led teams of the Fifties and Sixties, and coverage of the mid-1970s title teams. Also included are the championship videos describing the titles that the team won in the 1980s.
The last three discs contain portions of games or complete games as they were originally broadcast from the 1969, 1976, 1981, 1984, and 1986 title drives, as well as Game 5 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals when Larry Bird stole the Isiah Thomas pass to preserve what ultimately led to another trip to the NBA Finals.
This set contains some of the greatest basketball ever played. Owners of this set will be able to see, in the old Celtic clubs and the squads that they faced in these games, some of the greatest teams in NBA history. And what Celtics fan wouldn't love to have Game 7 of the 1984 NBA Finals in all its glory on DVD?
Customer Review: Greatest Basketball Dynasty In History...Period!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
As far as basketball fans go, there are only 3 types: Celtics Fans, Other Team Fans...and idiots like Continental Op-Philmarlowe39 (?) who have nothing better to do than waste time insulting genuine basketball fans. I'll bet the "39" stands for 39 millimiters....which is the size of his brain. Well maybe I shouldn't be so mean....after all, he probably grew up in a closet. Only somebody born and raised in a closet could have the audacity to write the kind of review he did on this absolutely fantastic DVD collection. Either that, or he is just severely mentally retarded, since any real basketball fan would enjoy and appreciate this collection. Obviously, this guy has probably been rooting for the Lakers or any other Celtics rival his entire life, and it is palinly evident that he is exacting personal enjoyment and "revenge" by finally being able to bad-mouth Celtics fans for all the years of his suffering through championship after championship. Needless to say, I know plenty of 4 year olds with more class and intellect than this jerk!Customer Review: Lar-ry, Lar-ry, Lar-ry!!!........

I own Larry Bird: Living Legend on DVD and bought this one for my uncle, who is also an avid Celtics fan. Im only 18 so I cant really appreciate as much the Celtics of old...Russel, Cousy, Heinson, Jonses, Cowens, Havlicek, etc., and Im probably too old to give a crap anymore about the "Pierce era," mostly b/c theyve sucked for so long, but it was the Larry era that really did it for me. I dont care who says what, Larry and Magic defined basketball. The 80's and perhaps early 90's was the greatest I've ever seen basketball get. And the '86 Celtics was the best team in NBA history. I personally havent seen the Celtics Dynasty DVDs but being that they include 7 past games, 5 of which are during the 80's, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Like Red said, "I've been blessed to coach some of the greatest that ever played the game. But if I had to start a team today...the greatest player, and the one I'd take would be Larry Bird."Customer Review: You won't see this: Antoine Walker for threeee....CLANG

If anyone tries to say today's players are the best ever, just pop in the Boston Celtics -- NBA Dynasty Series if you want to win the arguement.
What a great collection of games in this DVD set. The first thing people should realize while watching Russell's final game in 1969 and the tripple overtime game against Pheonix in 1976, is how the game was played before the three-point line was an option. Can you say mid-range game?
Then, of course, we get to watch the 80's, when athleticism and basketball skills clashed for the first and last time. The Lakers, Sixers, Celtics, Rockets, Bucks, Cavs and even the Mavericks of the 80's would absolutely smash the teams of this era. The reason: They knew how to play the game.
This DVD series is a must for any basketball fan over the age of 30 who appreciates and remembers the great Celtics teams.
