+Paul Dean After doing some research, I found out this game happened on January 12, 1982. Laimbeer would be traded to Detroit the following month, and Daly would be sacked after the Cavs went 1-5 on a six-game western road trip in late February/early March.
Footage of Lamebeer as a Cav is some rare shit. Even that nothingness is rare. It's like that 1967 footage of Bigfoot struttin by. I read before that Laimbeer played a Sleestak in the original Land Of The Lost show. He was tall enough for the role and as naturally menacing as a Sleestak. Born for the role.
Btw, since I posted that 3 yrs ago, I saw William Laimbeer and a couple of other college players (then) in the credits as Sleestaks in a Land Of The Lost epi. It was proven true. Being only 6 in 1982 and a Lakerfan to boot, that's also incidentally probably the ONLY place I've ever seen evidence of Chuck Daly as the Cavs coach. I do know DET picked both of them up in short order, but this is a nice little piece of visual proof for NBA junkies that they actually did wear Cavs attire.
I see what you're sayin now, haha. The walls look puffy. I hope that's not a bunch of asbestos sprayed on there. I saw a Modern Marvels recently that had a bit on asbestos and they said we, Yanks, have no clue at how much asbestos that we're still exposed to in just ceiling and floor tiles and all other places. There's so much of it out there that it'll take decades just to remediate all the shit put into all kinds of buildings and ships during the 50s.
Was I the only one that liked that generation of Cavs uniforms? I liked the originals but thought the "Miracle" ones were too busy, and they were just a copy of a college team's unis.
"Ted Stepien is concerned about a foot lately, but not the one that spends a lot of time in his mouth"
LOL
Shakespeare couldn't have said it better! lol
The game footage was fun to watch.
The WEWS sports anchor at the time was Howard Sudberry, who would later spend the next two decades at WBBM CBS 2 in Chicago.
Wow, coach Coach Dally and Bill Laimbeer before we even knew their name!

Who knew that both were on their way to better things in Detroit?
Ted Stepien made Donald Sterling look like Red frickin' Auerbach

Sports were just so much cooler back then.
The Lakers in their day, practicing in a small gym. Great stuff.
I remember that day I worked there
Scott Weidmann would join the Boston Celtics win two NBA titles alongside Larry Bird
Was that practice court full of Asbestos ?

Scott Wedman, Bill Lambeer and Chuck Daly with the Ted Stepien gutter Cavs.
$17,000 seems cheap for a basketball floor.
Well that was quite expensive then at that time in the early 80s. A court now probably costs more than that now.
DowntownCanon back then money was worth alot more and floors were also cheaper to make.
