I loved Bird's composure on the court. 2 free throws with a mob ready to burst onto the floor. Rude fans ACTUALLY running out as he's making the first one. Bedlam! And he just calmly steps up to line, sets his feet and does what he always does, swish.

@@ChristopherJoseph35 makes alot of sense, Sox were always, "Wait til next year", bruins were never a Stanley cup caliber team and the Patriots, well if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything, LoL!
80's basketball was basketball at its apex. It was a culmination of skill, finesse, and physicality. Sure there's still plenty of skill, finesse, and athleticism in the modern game but the physicality along with the passion is gone. No more hand-checking, hard fouls constantly, severe trash-talking and heated rivalries to the utmost degree. We'll never see basketball fans like this or physicality ever again.
What? There is so much more skill in today's game than back then. 2:32. A shooting guard, Danny Ainge, at the 3 point line with a defender sagging off 8ft and he is not taking the shot? Both teams would get absolutely hammered by today's top teams. The defence by current standard is atrocious. Maybe you have the occasional hard foul. Big deal. But that defence would be shredded by a team like Houston or the GSW of the last couple of years. Half of the players on the court could not shoot a long ball, accuracy and range is just poor. And these were the top teams. Today's defence needs to cover soooo much more real estate. Anyone who claims that these were better basketball players than contemporary players are simply delusional.
the contrast of styles here, Lakers are more apprehensive and calculating. and the Celtics are just aggressive and explode every time they get the ball
Thanks for the video. Funny thing is that Cedric Maxwell had a great game, especially at the foul line. However, I wouldn't put that in a best plays video.
The Lakers were showtime, fast-breaks and skyhooks, but the Celtics could out fast-break anyone when they wanted to. So many good passers AND finishers. When the Celtics stalled out in half-court, I'd get worried, even with Bird and Mchale (the low post moves he had...mind-bending). When they were running and full court passing, they were dominant.
i cant wait to see celtics finally win a ring with tatum and brown///if tatums ankles hold up and brown finally can go left that is.................no more excuses now they got holiday and porzin............

Watching this reminded me how outdated the Boston Garden was- even by 1984 standards. No air conditioning, obstructed view seats all over the place, the hallways leading into that arena reeked of piss like you wouldn't believe. It took a decade or so after this before the new place opened. I think the 88 Stanley Cup final was the straw that broke the camel's back when the lights went out during the game and the building was evacuated.
Larry Bird was clearly the star of the team, but I find it very nice how Cedric Maxwell stepped up on game seven and leaded the team to get the win, and Larry knew Maxwell and didn't start a competition just because he was the star. That team was about doing what was necessary to win titles, and that is just awesome as fuck
