- Presenting a rare color film of highlights of the Boston Celtics taking on the Philadelphia Warriors in Game #4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics lead in the series 2 games to 1 but a great effort by Wilt Chamberlain helps his club knot the series at two games apiece. The narrator does not divulge this, but notes the Celtics went on to win the NBA
championship. No ownership of this material is claimed.
This is a historical masterpiece of a video. Thanks
A 1962 game in color! A rare treat!
❤️ black & white: it not real color
Bill Russell moved so well and fluidly
The 1960s NBA, no blocks and steals records, no 3 point line, no defensive 3 second violation, no replay challenge. Warriors final season in Philadelphia and in the Eastern Division.
Thanks to everyone who pointed out the freezing issue with the first version I uploaded. Still not sure what happened, but it seems to be working now. Enjoy!
Nice!!
Great, thank you again! Your version is much clearer than mine.
A great video one of the greatest centers in the NBA then going up against WillChampblerain.
Gotta love the close out/contest attempt at 2:06
TF even was that 😂
Thank you Retro Maven.
A real treat.
My pleasure...
Beautiful
legend describes wilt chamberlain and bill russell
In their 8 historic playoff matchups, this was the only series in which Russell averaged 20 points a game and this was arguably his greatest defensive playoff performance against Chamberlain. It's important to note that Chamberlain was also a defensive beast in this series for he held Russell to a lowly .398 percent from the field, he blocked 14 shots (e.g., Philly Daily News) in Game 7 of the series and in this same game, he scored the Warriors last 5 points to tie the game at 107. Sam Jones subsequently won the game with a 20 foot jump shot with 2 seconds left on the clock.
Probably the only video we'll ever see of Bob Cousy in color.
No, there are more. Look for 1961 All Star Game. There's even a 1950's All Star in colour I think.
The video wasn’t meant to divulge specifically into game 4 but to use game 4 highlights to narrate the series
0:21 Russell lead the Celtics in 1962 postseason scoring, which is what this video is divulging
Wilt got 41 pts and 34 rbs that game
Didn't know Bill had a jumper
How about that Russell right-handed hook shot despite the fact he was left-handed?
I didn’t know that Russell shot from as far outside as he did in this game.
Is it okay to use the Russell jumpshot for a highlight video I am working on? At 2:29
You're the first person to ever ask for permission. What a refreshing change of decorum! Yes, by all means, clip away!
@@retromaven2159 thank you man

Just to show how bad that Warriors team was, despite Wilt averaging 50-25 and getting a record of 49-31 they were still only beating other teams by an average of less than 3 points a game. The only reason they got as far they did that year was because of Wilt. The following season they lose Arizin and Gola as well as coach McGuire as the team shifted to San Francisco. Wilt puts up 45-24 and while his team goes 31-49 they were only losing to other teams by an average of 2 points. Wilt's 62 and 63 seasons were the two highest single PER seasons in NBA history and were only broken just recently by Giannis and Jokic.
And people call him a loser
When a guy today scores 50 in a game they throw a huge party and claim him to be a god. Wilt averaged that every game that year without any 3 point shots. And he played every minute of every single game. Including in all 12 of their playoff games that year. No one. And I repeat, no one will ever do those things again. No one will even come close to doing that even with all the 3 point shots taken now.
We might be getting close to that again. The modern 3 point shooting high scoring NBA
Of course not. Who else in NBA history had 39.5 FG attempts per game like Wilt?
How does a player average 50 points per game, 25 rebounds, probably 6-8 blocks per game, lead his team to winning record of 49-31, and not be the MVP?
Russell 18.9 23.6 4.5 Wilt Chamberlain 50.4 25.7 2.4
in his Laker days he averaged 8.8 so he was definitely in the double digits for blocks this season. In fact, about 20 games of this 1961-62 season had blocks recorded and wilt apparently averaged 13.6 blocks per game.
@@Nathan-fk3ue you guys seem to forget Wilts best defensive years were with 76ers and lakers. Warriors allowed the most points in the league and wilts matchup scored above their normal average.
It's also the season that Oscar averaged a Triple-Double. Baylor averaged 38/19/5, West 31/8/5, Pettit 31/19/4. Even rookie Walt Bellamy averaged 31/19. Stats aren't everything, but Russell should have finished no higher than 3rd in MVP. Russell won 5 MVPs, and probably deserved only 1 or 2. Wilt won 4 MVPs, and probably deserved 8. The vote was heavily swayed by team record, especially back then, and Russell always had the best team. He was great, but he was surrounded by great players and a great coach.
@@rtosborne3 Oscar is arguably the greatest point guard ever. I rank only Magic above him but he was a better scorer than Magic and defender. Jerry West is probably the third greatest shooting guard ever (Jordan, Kobe)...over Curry because West was a stellar defender. If the identical Walt Bellamy played today, he'd be considered the best BIG in the NBA today over Embiid, Giannis, and Jokic. Bob Pettit was a highly skilled 6'9" forward with a variety of shots plus he could rebound. He'd do the exact same thing today. So the players you named are not only top 50, many are top 15 and down!
@@choward5430 - little known fact, but West was primarily a PG. He just scored a lot and shared playmaking with Baylor (the first Point-Forward), similar to how Steph Curry, who is also a PG, shares playmaking with Draymond. I agree, Oscar is the best PG, followed by Magic, with West 3rd, but as a PG not a SG. I would put Isiah and Steph 4th and 5th. You are right about the other guys too. They would be great today, because it is way easier to score now, and the talent is spread much thinner. People have no clue how competitive the NBA was in the 60s.
Points/rebounds combo means outdueling? Wilt never won a championship leading his team in points/rebounds in a title run, I guess he never outdueled anyone when he won
The Warriors had four hall of famers.
Celtics had 7 HOFers on this team. 3 guys on the1962 First and Second All NBA Team and 2 league MVP's.
Arizin and Gola were in their final seasons and Rodgers never shot above .400 in his career. Wilt entered a Warriors franchise that was aging and never replenished its talent unlike Boston.
@DrJohnyyJ Wilt, Meschery, Gola & Arizin. Al of their jerseys r now retired in the rafters of CHASE CENTER in SAN FRANCISCO
Cannot compare bill Russell & boston celtics 1960s basketball teams to wilt basketball teams until late 1960s wilt & Philadelphia 76ers
