A lot of the memories I have of Lucas is of him shooting from the top of the key, and just as I was thinking of that the video has him doing just that . 👍 Back then , big men weren’t used to coming out that far to guard their man, and Lucas would often burn 🔥 them with that top of the key jumper.
Jerry would be much better today. He would shoot from 25 feet and get two points. Also, in those days, they called traveling and offensive fouls. His main weakness was defense against anyone quick.
LUCAS IS STILL LIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucas was a elite player his first six years in the league reminds me alot of Bob Pettit
I think Lucas’ memory enabled him to predict how people typically missed their shots and where to position himself for rebounds.
Rodman was a student of that
@@ChrisClaybernTrue but Lucas was better

Mr. Memo
Definitely one of the all time greats!!
There's now a book out on him on Amazon.
I have the book by him about memory
Lucas played center for the Knicks as a backup for Willis Reed. Dave Debusschere was the power forward for the Knicks and Phil Jackson was his backup.

If he had a three point-line. Started in the ABL.
ABA
imagine having a player who puts in time to study what plays the other teams runs, man was literally giving his opps no chance. RIp
He's still alive
