Vote: Celtics vs. Lakers


The 2008 NBA Finals will feature the two most storied franchises in league history, as the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers meet. This will mark the 11th time the two teams have squared off with the NBA title on the line, and if history is any indicator, this series should be a classic.

As SportsNation prepares for the clash, we want to know which franchise you think has the more storied history? How important is it to Kobe Bryant's legacy that he win a title without Shaq? And, of course, which team will emerge as the NBA champion?

The series is set, and now it's up to SportsNation to forecast the result. Vote now!
