The Boston Celtics-Los Angeles Lakers rivalry isn’t quite what it used to be.
Don’t try telling that to James Worthy.
The former Lakers star, who played a role in plenty of epic battles against the Celtics during the 1980s, now is a studio analyst for Time Warner Cable SportsNet in Los Angeles. After the Lakers upset the Celtics on Wednesday in Kobe Bryant’s final appearance at TD Garden, the network went live to Worthy for his reaction.
Take it away, James.

Either Worthy forgot he was on live television or was so excited the Lakers actually won a game that he just didn’t care.
Worthy apparently wasn’t done there, as a longer video clip shows the Lakers legend calling out Celtics great Larry Bird.

That’s a strong take, James.
