For example, they remastered Taxi Driver from 1976 to 4K Quality, but they can’t remaster Lakers vs Celtics from the 80s?

Movies are often filmed in a higher resolution than televisions can handle. This means that the VHS tape the movie was originally sold on has been made lower resolution to match the TV. As TVs catch up, the movies can be remastered to include the better resolution. Sports games aren’t shot on the same high-resolution cameras that movies are and so the information to remaster them simply isn’t there. What you see is what you get.
