For the second time in three years and the 12th time overall, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics will compete against each other in the National Basketball Association Finals.

For the Celtics, it is a quest for the franchise’s 18th league title. For the Lakers, it is an opportunity for revenge, as the Celtics defeated them in six games in June 2008. Boston trashed Los Angeles in the sixth game, 131-92. It was the most lopsided margin ever in a title-clinching game.

Lee Wesley Gibson, who celebrated his 100th birthday recently at the Proud Bird Restaurant with more than 200 family members and friends, stands by a poster depicting photos of him when he was a Pullman Porter, which was displayed in the lobby at his birthday celebration in Los Angeles. He is currently the oldest living Pullman Porter.
