      The 80s was a tremendous decade for watching NBA basketball especially on Sunday afternoons on CBS. Boston,Philly,and Milwaukee were loaded with talent for 7 of those 10 years. Atlanta and Detroit were also on the rise in the eastern conference. Good defense and not so much traveling going on all the time. None of this 135-133 scores either. Set plays and physical defense were the norm along with great effort. Miss the good old days.

    People assume Larry Bird always lacked athleticism, but early in Larry's career he ran hard and fast, regularly beating opponents down court for layups and open looks. Unfortunately, as he was entering his prime injuries began to hinder Bird's quickness. He compensated by improving from superior to lethal from the perimeter, and keeping a step ahead through his unmatched basketball IQ.

    The thumbnail for this video was not from this game. In the game from the thumbnail, Larry Bird was embarrassing Dr. J. It was something like Bird had 30 points, and Erving had 6. Erving bridged Bird, Larry fell on his back, and Erving walked away without trying to help him up, or even apologize. No one knows what was said, but next thing you know, Erving had Larry in a chokehold, then was throwing two right crosses at his face (while his teammate, I think it was Moses Malone, had Larry in a headlock). It was the most surreal thing I ever saw in the NBA, because Julius Erving was the face of the NBA, and was always a true gentleman on and off the court. It had to be one of his most embarrassing moments on the court. He and Bird have put it behind them, and have never publicly discussed it since.

      I'll have to rewatch games. When the stereotype about white dudes was prevalent in terms of their lack of athleticism, I might have believed that back then but I think Bird could d J. If he never did, it must've been a strategic decision because Bird's d is 10 times that of McHale.

    Can you imagine if Bird had the benefit of modern sports medicine? He may not have had chronic back problems.

      Doctor J was a class act and never disrespected Larry. I’m sure he knew how great a player Larry was.

    That was a clean block by the Doc on that chase down on Chris Ford

    Greatest game in NBA history. Could have only been better if cheeks makes both for an overtime. Mr Julius Erving and Mr Larry Bird.

      if Cheeks made both, then who knows how Boston would've responded differently with it being a tie game. c'mon, man!

    In this era of basketball (the hand check era), playoff games carried the weight and energy of tip top prize fights. I remember this game. Felt horrible for Doc. He came in 2nd nearly as many times a Jerry West. They won SO, so much. It was cathartic when they both finally won ONE. "Hated", feared and respected Bird and The Celtics at the time, but love and respect them in the retired, rear-view mirror. They were some DAWGS! Celtics would clown you in a blowout and literally laugh and high-five all the way to the locker room. This almost makes me ill to re-live it, but it's fascinating.

    Yeah this guy Larry was a problem, just when you thought the lead was comfortable, or when you that you had him figured out, he would just start destroying your whole defense.

    That goaltending call on Doc blocking Ford. Compare that to LeBron's high above the rim block ( big debate that was definitely goaltending) on AI in 2015 Finals. WOW!!

      I was thinking the same thing while watching the video. How many stars make the extra pass like Bird? How many stars can pass the ball like Bird? I'm not saying Bird was the best in any context, but man was he a great player.

    I watch this game live. I remember the incident. Julius never disrespected Larry. If anything, Larry disrespect Doc. Julius was a perfect gentleman on and off the court. Larry said something to him. Julius responded way out of character. He grabbed Larry by the throat. Larry grabbed back.
    Julius and Larry were two of the greatest ambassadors to the game. No one wanted to see anything like this. Everyone immediately got between the two---and it was over almost as soon as it began.

    Someone that was sitting court side at a game said Larry greatly disrespected Julius. I believe he called Julius old and “ you should have retired”
