About Lakers versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs

Lakers versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs is a basketball simulation based on the 1988-1989 NBA season. Its ten selectable teams include the East and West All-Stars, featuring historical players such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Patrick Ewing.
