In The Outsiders the Socials and Greasers are two groups of kids who come from opposite sides of town. The Socials and Greasers have fueled their rivalry on their very different backgrounds and socioeconomic status'. The Celtics and Lakers have started their rivalry in the beginning of the 1960s and was founded again in 1984 and ever since has been one of the biggest rivalries in sports. This rivalry has been fueled through various components but died for a period of time; however, the rivalry was reborn the rookie year of Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Larry Bird.
Focus #2: Rivalries will be explored in the tragedy, Romeo and Juliet and the documentary, 30 for 30 Celtics/Lakers: Best of Enemies. These two rivalries will be explored deeper by looking into how both of these groups were "born" into these rivalries and how this has affected their lives. Romeo and Juliet were both born into the respective Montague and Capulet families. All players from the Celtics and Lakers were "born" into these teams by being drafted by these teams and ultimately became immersed into this rivalry.
