What a great awesome show !!!!!! A complete preview of every team in the NBA for the 1971-1972 season !!!!!!! ... I enjoyed learning about all the old faces in new places !!!!!!! Hope , I see all the other shows from the 1970's here on YOU TUBE !!!!!!!!
Pranas V. - We’re all fortunate Dolan didn’t own the Knicks back then . It’s getting more difficult to remember the Knicks were once relevant and the class of the NBA.
Interesting to see where the NBA was then, at a crucial crossroads -- the arrival of Abdul-Jabbar, the twilight of Wilt and the 2nd season after the end of the Bill Russell era.
Tex Winter was the man who made change the FT rule because he saw Wilt Chamberlain dunking his own free throws from the line, so he was already there in the 50's, as assistant stuff.
calvin murphy had the same height as nate robinson and he was easily dunking...another proof against arguments like "unathletic players" back then are bullshit!
+Andreas GR The NBA players of today are better athletes, but the NBA and ABA players of back then were much better all-around basketball players. And yes, there is a difference.
Pau gasol, marc gasol, al jefferson, Tim duncan, lamarcus Aldridge, jahlil okafor, Andrew bogut (not so much scoring but play making from the post). Guys can do it but the game is much faster up and down and the defense is different nowerdays that post ups aren't necessary. It's a more pick and roll oriented game
Really; rudy T ; Rudy t was never the same basketball; player; rudy T ; pride of city of hamtramach &university of michigan basketball won nba championship;; coaching houston rockets ; ithink his name was kermit washington; without looking it up
In 1971, the San Diego Rockets moved to Houston, and the team played its home games in the Astrodome, and also hosted games at Hofheinz Pavilion on the University of Houston campus. The San Francisco Warriors became the Golden State Warriors, simply because they chose to move to Oakland full time. The Cincinnati Royals moved to Kansas City the next season to become the Kings.
The Warriors couldn't get enough playing dates at the Oakland Coliseum (with the California Golden Seals still there) so they proposed being a regional franchise- 21 games at Oakland, and 20 at San Diego. The league and Players' Association wouldn't go for it, but the Coliseum managed to squeeze in enough playing dates after all. That season, their uniform had the map of California with a star at Oakland and a star at San Diego. That's how they became Golden State....

My childhood era!!
Love the Baltimore Bullets' mod uniforms and the nicknames on the back of Houston's jerseys: "Rudy T." and "E". A nice niche to early 70's basketball.
A Phil Chenier jersey road jersey which is great, 10,000 dollars on Ebay
I dont care what anybody says, those old Baltimore Bullets jerseys with the long downward stripe were awesome.
The best ever in basketball history!
Two years later someone agrees.
Agreed

Excellent memories! Thanks!
I love vintage nba videos
Love the old unis
Beautiful upload thank you
Love the Hawks uniforms
Agreed.
I agree
Bullets should have kept Earl Monroe to go with Archie Clark. That would have been a BAD backcourt!!
Those Knicks teams in early 70s were beautiful to watch
Pranas V. - We’re all fortunate Dolan didn’t own the Knicks back then . It’s getting more difficult to remember the Knicks were once relevant and the class of the NBA.
Yes indeed
Early 1970 willis reed ny knick vs bill russell / boston celtics of 1960s ??
love the music
Interesting to see where the NBA was then, at a crucial crossroads -- the arrival of Abdul-Jabbar, the twilight of Wilt and the 2nd season after the end of the Bill Russell era.
Old& nuring home wilt & knee surgery wilt early 1970s vs young kareem abdul jabber
100% brilliant! Thank you so much for posting! Every team and every star of that era were highlighted. Loved it!
13:18. Randy Smith at his best
AWESOME PLAYER, and we all know the most underrated.
great nba from 70s,great teams and players no more sonics,braves,and bullets,royals now kings
I never thought Tex Winter was Houston's coach before. The father of the triangle offense.
Tex Winter was the man who made change the FT rule because he saw Wilt Chamberlain dunking his own free throws from the line, so he was already there in the 50's, as assistant stuff.
Also Tex Winter was college teammat3s with Alex Hannum. Whom used the triangle offense during his coaching tenure with Wilt as a 76er. 67-68
Yeah, he almost ruined Calvin Murphy's career before it got started, too. The genius stuck him on the bench.
Much Gratitude
2:10 only footage of Calvin Murphy dunking...just barely!
3:56 shit gets real.
@ 3:18 The music playing is Keith Mansfield's "Mono Ski"
Late Charlie Jones was narrator for this film
I love this. History
Love early 1970 nba basketball 🏀
❤ oldies nba basketball : connie hawkins handle a basketball at 6feet 8 inches
Man, where did you find this? It's brilliant!!!
Now that's a young Chic Hearn honoring Elgin Baylor.
calvin murphy had the same height as nate robinson and he was easily dunking...another proof against arguments like "unathletic players" back then are bullshit!
In fact, he was a better all around player... I believe he's also in the NBA Hall Of Fame.
+Andreas GR The NBA players of today are better athletes, but the NBA and ABA players of back then were much better all-around basketball players. And yes, there is a difference.
Explain why they where 'much better all-around basketball players' back then?
Because today not all players know basketball fundamentals...Not one center of today's game knows how to post-up, for example...
Pau gasol, marc gasol, al jefferson, Tim duncan, lamarcus Aldridge, jahlil okafor, Andrew bogut (not so much scoring but play making from the post). Guys can do it but the game is much faster up and down and the defense is different nowerdays that post ups aren't necessary. It's a more pick and roll oriented game
Sidney Wicks, the Michael Beasley of his day!
Ever hear about him in, "the breaks of the game"? He had a funny moment where he made management in Portland furious
The Knicks lost in a crazy series vs bullets otherwise they would have repeated
What's the paid attendance at the game at 2:50?
Rudy got attacked years later by Washington of the Lakers.
Washington broke Rudy's skull.
Rudy almost died.
Really; rudy T ; Rudy t was never the same basketball; player; rudy T ; pride of city of hamtramach &university of michigan basketball won nba championship;; coaching houston rockets ; ithink his name was kermit washington; without looking it up
Him and Brad Van Pelt, both from Michigan State same year,of course 1 from football.
Almost sounds like Charlie Jones
That was Charlie Jones.
Shit gets real: 3:56
Is that Charlie Jones narrating?
It certainly sounds like Charlie. What a voice. So many great years- over 30 - calling the NFL

Don't forget Omaha. 🏀
Riley lay up over Kareem!
Shorts are short
kareem.is lucky wilt was 10 yrs older than him and had double knee surgery
Early 1960s wilt : give wilt the ball& get out the way;; when wilt wheel toward the basket to score unstoppable
So dumb--he was was not groomed. People are estranged all of the time. Kyle needs to step up and clear the air. He's 20 years old. This is ridiculous!
