I often wished that the big O could have won this one and gone out like the champion he was. Him and Jerry West were two of my favorites during that time.
This bucks team was deeper than the 1971 bucks team that won it all...but havlicek was on fire in this championship series...the bucks had no answers to stop him
I prefer the NBA in the 1970s over the way it is now. There was much more balance - and most of the teams had better fundamental team basketball skills. IN the NBA these days the players travel pretty much on every play.
Really, that why Boston celtics beat them in 1974 nba basketball season,,, they had a great team jo jo white, Charlie Scott, Dave Cowen, John havlicek, Paul salis, etc etc
Some of this was bullshit in the editing. For example, Game 2 on the first Cornell Warner dunk in overtime, it fouled Cowens out. But then afterwards, they show Cowens guarding Abdul-Jabbar while supposedly still in overtime.

This is fantastic. I was a 16 year old in Milwaukee. Thank you.
Me too !

I agree big time
True, plus there was a lot more on-court intensity and sense of rivalry back then.
The uniforms were better too.
Milwaukee Bucks had a great team, Kareem & Oscar, Hall of Fame greats
Dandridge should be in too. More so than several in.
@@Amick44 Real talk!!!
@@Amick44 yes sir
Yes and dandridge got in now too...but havlicek..cowens and white were Boston hall of famers too
That Kareem Abdul Jabbar pass at 14:44....that is flat out absurd. Not in my dreams could I throw a pass that far, let alone with that much accuracy
I went back and took a look at it, just wow. What a crazy combo of power/accuracy.
It might have been a perfect season, had Luscious Allen stayed healthy.
What an unfortunate injury :( probably cost us the championship

Except that Boston did not have Charlie Scott yet; he was still in Phoenix in 1974. He came to Boston in 1975.
@@3243_ yeah. Boston had paul westphal still
If Kareem and others actually had been able to go pro after High school he would have had not 38,000 pts but about 48,000 points. GOAT!!
Well said
Oh you bet mick.I saw havlicek convincingly outplay jerry west oscar robertson and julius erving afew times.And he usually destroyed walt frazier..

First season with off def boards and steals blocks
I love Hal's videos. These are cool.
At 26: , you’ll see Havlicek hugging bucks trainer, my father, Bill bates
Cool
8:57 Russell Westbrook
The Bucks was the hottest team in the early 70's!
Should have won 3 championships with Bucks, not one.
And now the Bucks are 4 wins away.....
40 Year Anniversary....of the most heartbreaking time in my like as a fan as the Bucks came 1 game away from winning another NBA title...rats
Hopefully they win it this year
Congratulations to you and your fellow Bucks fans on winning it this year.
The great John havlicek....
Havlicek was always ready to play well in every big series!!
manny4552 And still a top 10-15 player of all time even today.

Yes it was i watched every game live on tv....havlicek was the man
It's too bad that after that season Oscar got shafted
Kareem early before a Laker
Early years before he was a Laker
Yes sir
Havlicek and the crew took over in game 7.
