Rebooting the Lakers / Celtics Rivalry
Description
Saturday, March 2 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Bill James Room
The Celtics-Lakers rivalry is one of the most storied in all of sports. From Russell vs. Chamberlain, Bird vs. Magic, to the “Big Three” vs. Kobe and Gasol, the matchup has defined eras throughout the history of the NBA. It’s been almost ten years since their most recent matchup in the NBA finals, as each team has transitioned on from its last slate of superstars and are now looking to write another chapter of the rivalry. This panel will explore each team’s approach to rebuilding over the past decade, featuring the two respective owners of the Celtics and Lakers, Wyc Grousbeck and Jeanie Buss. The panelists will discuss their similarities and differences regarding team-building strategies, and the relevant implications they have on fan engagement, business operations, and the odds of another Finals matchup in the near future.

There is a Youtube Channel that has videos from last year.

I don't know how much lag there will be from the discussion on Saturday morning to the video being available on Youtube. I have no idea if a livestream will be allowed and if somebody in the audience will be providing it. |

Isn't Jeannie enough representation? |

It might kill me to watch that. I would spend an hour dreading what Jeanie is going to say next. Someone post a summary, please. |

Is anyone else from the Lakers attending besides Jeanie and does this mean they're finally entering the modern era and embracing analytics? |

There's having an analytics person and having management and coaching embrace said person(s) and their findings. So I'm more getting at whether or not there has been that culture change yet. |

Look at our president of basketball operations. He don’t need no stinking nerdy analytics to tell him we don’t need shooting to beat the warriors |
