Jan 10, 1971 Philadelphia at Boston (part 3)

Rare 1971 Regular Season NBA action. One of the few games to see Billy Cunningham and John Havlicek in their primes going up against each other.

During this period..1970 to 1974 john havlicek was probably the worlds best player except for kareem

[@obbor4]

True. His all-around game was unbeatable and he never stopped moving. My favorite player ever!

[@tonymazzella4812]

Thats some kind of full court press.

Yes, that's what I like about actually seeing these older games. The athleticism is much better than most realize. The effort and basketball IQ is outstanding.

@slip satch I am jealous of what you witnessed live, Slip!

[@inallairness]

@slip satch I'm well thanks, Slip. Wow - that is amazing. You've seen so much history! If you enjoy NBA history, I have a podcast devoted to it. My next episode features the great Butch Beard.
