The Boston Celtics and Los angeles lakers lead the list of the NBA with 17 titles per franchise, which also makes them kings of the It is and the West. With this overwhelming domain it is logical that they have crossed many times in the Finals. It is the classic of the league. History brought great duels in the 60s, in those years of green rule with Bill Russell in front. Also in the 80s, Larry Bird against Magic Johnson, a decade in which NBA he entered Spanish televisions never to leave. More recent are the pulses of the first decade of this millennium, also remembered by the presence of Pau Gasol and, of course, the eternal Kobe Bryant. The Celtics and the Lakers They are the great brands of the North American championship. Simply wearing their colors already places you in the history of sport, as it happens, to give another close example, with Ferrari on the Formula 1. Three Spaniards have worn the Lagunera shirt: the Gasol brothers, Pau and Marc, and José Manuel Calderón. And now Juancho Hernangómez is going to break down another barrier: Celtics. Very mythical.
Juancho not had a good summer: his injury with Spain, your exclusion from Olympic Games by the Minnesota Timberwolves, its transfer to the Memphis Grizzlies, the uncertainty of the future of not having passed or the medical examination … Now everything is taking shape. If the Wolves they recoiled with the Selection, It was surely because they had already planned to move him in the market. If the Grizzlies they kept him in the freezer, it was because his destiny was going to be another. Hernangomez has been through three teams in nine days. That puzzles anyone. But history, except for new unexpected carambola, is now heading towards a happy ending that will be made official on September 15. Cross your fingers. Boston it is a dream destination. For Juancho and for Spanish basketball.
