I acquired this footage from the NBA.com clip archives sometime ago, though I'm not sure if they are still around. I'll need to search for more, but unfortunately I believe this is all I have.
YEAH PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT GUYS COULDN'T DRIBBLE WITH THERE LEFT HAND WAS AND IS A MYTH.....PERIOD.....IT'S ALL FALSE NO PROOF OF THAT.....THIS VIDEO VERIFIES THAT THEY DID DRIBBLE IN A WHOLE LOT OF WAYS.......
You are correct. They could all dribble with their left. They played within the rules, which the refs of today ignore. They all kept their hand ON TOP OF THE BALL, not the side or bottom. The refs let them palm, carry, double dribble and travel now. Today's players, if put back in the past, wouldn't get away with all this "handles" nonsense. If Oscar, West, Maravich, Cousy etc were playing today, they would be even better. The cross over was around then, too. The refs called it traveling, however. All this "hesitation" garbage is double dribbling; they gave it that name so they could let the players get away with it. It's all about TV ratings and ticket sales. If they enforced the REAL RULES young kids wouldn't even watch it and that's why they are always disrespecting the old players and saying ignorant uneducated stuff like, “Oscar couldn't play today."
In the 1970s, I got my only live look at Sam Jones when he was playing celebrity 3-on-3 as part of a CBS show. Bank shots all over the place -- including straight away set shots off the backboard from about 25 feet away.
Underrated. Very clutch, really good scorer/shooter, master at the bank-shot.
The great Sam Jones!!! The most underrated guard in NBA history!
10 rings Sam!
Pretty close. Dominance of Oscar and Jerry kept he and Hal Greer on All NBA 2nd teams.
2 RAW 4 TV
The most underrated Shooting guard in history
@@Amick44 He has more rings than all of them combined
Do you own a version of this film in this quality? If so where/how did you obtain it? I've got this film but much poorer quality unfortunately
