Forty games in 40 nights not enough to fill your craving for NBA playoff action? Relive the best postseason moments of the past quarter-century with the DVD set 25 Years of Champions (Warner Bros., $49.98). The five-disc collection features mini-documentaries (about 55 minutes apiece) on each of the past 25 NBA champions, from the 1979-80 Lakers to last season's Pistons. It uses game footage, interviews with players and coaches and glimpses into locker rooms and practices to tell the story of each team's road to the championship.

The narration has an E! True Hollywood Story feel at times ("The combo was clicking ... until fate dished out a cruel twist," goes one deathly serious voice-over), but it's not a distraction. The clips are great, and all the high points of the teams' seasons are captured. Plus, some fun segments are included here and there--players are polled about which teammate had the ugliest car or best haircut, and period-appropriate music plays over certain highlights (if you don't think that's funny, you don't remember '80s hair---or music). All in all, a fun trip down memory lane.
