- The 1st year following the NBA-ABA Merger saw the Philadelphia 76ers hosting the Houston Rockets in the Eastern Conference Finals. The 76ers, led by league MVP "Dr. J" are up 3 games to 1, and attempting to clinch a berth in the NBA Finals (against Bill Walton's Blazers). But closing out the Rockets is no easy task, especially considering the big man in the middle, the 21-year-old Moses Malone.
Both players would team up in Philadelphia and clinch the NBA Championship in 1983, but 6 years prior, they faced off against one another in a battle for NBA supremacy.
Enjoy!
Malone came out of Highschool, Dr . The Jordan of the Era, and Malone was the LeBron of that Era. No Dr J no Jordan, no Malone No LeBron James.
@@Blackfoot100 I've never heard it that way. Very true.
DrJ is in my top 5 can’t stop a man with big hands! Just ask Jordan! ✌🏾
Keep these gems coming. Need Sugar Vs Magic Highlights
That would be awesome
@michaelallen8112 ok I like that. I'll check their match-ups and see what I can do.
@@sportingpage Also, can u check ✅ for Julius Erving game vs Pistons in Dec 1982 game where he had 44 Pts 7Rebs
Doctors first step is crazy fast he gone 🔥
He also takes the first step with his pivot foot when going left, so it's a violation of the rules. Modern players get flack for being allowed to play more freely than the rulebook says, but Dr. J's game seems to be based on violation of the rules.
😂 lol u R Sooooo exact on shue. FREE was hurt also. This team was talented but lacked a real PG which they needed bcuz Shue was not the X and Os to make up for the slight void. Collins and free were both scorers but they could handle the rock and as the other announcer (not Brent) pointed out sometimes the Sixers just relied on this talent. Doc, Mcginnis, Free, even Collins at times often were just one on one. It showed versus Blazers. But one other thing...the Doctor is legendary but he was like Jordan and Pippen B4 in he playedboth ends of the floor equally great. Doc IMO is the GOAT level player most often overlooked. I remember one game he held Bird scoreless for most of the game to help win. People kind of forget how great Doc's overall game was.
I remember watching this game live expecting a Sixers clincher but they played poorly and Rockets forced a sixth game back in Houston where the Doc'Tah took over with 44 points. Gene Shue (R.I.P.) was an awful coach who had no idea how to blend this team of incredible talent nor use the Doc correctly in what should have been a motion offense much like when Julius played for the ABA Nets.
Interesting to see Moses Malone and Darryl Dawkins so young, neither of the two played in college, and years later Darryl was traded from Sixers to Nets to sign Moses.
I guess you heve to love basketball, and i grew up diring this era but today game is so much better in alot of ways, the players today are more skilled over all. The big man and low post game is not a priority today.
The players of today are NOT more skilled overall, but they are more TALENTED/GIFTED. Their fundamentals suck!

Depends on who you're talking about. For instance, Dr. J was a hall of fame player (and rightfully so) who couldn't go to his left to save his life.
@@frankjum I beg to differ Kevin Mchale tells a story about his first time guarding Dr J. M.L. Carr told him he had to make Doc go left. He forced Dr J as far left as he could and DrJ dunked on him. Mchale went o Carr. Carr said "I didn't say it was easy, I just said you have to make him go left."
It's a very interesting hypothesis.
Doc and The Zink!
ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRVING!
No 3pt line
Not until 1980.
Whoaaaa😮
Eeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrving!!!
*A couple of futurue coaches there.*
BEST MATCH UP WAS MOSES MALONE AND LEW AL CINDOR IN COLLEGE GAME
Moses never went to college
I think that was Elvin Hayes of Houston vs Alcindor of UCLA , 1969.
@leonardcharles59 the big E
76ERS WON THIS SERIES 4-2 THEN LOST NBA FINALS 2-4 TO THE TRAILBLAZERS! Philadelphia and Houston NEVER played in a NBA finals ever, The Celtics beat The Rockets in 1981 NBA finals.
The refs cheated Houston
Lloyd free changed his name.
World B Free
Should have been a Hall of famers
Moses always looked old😂
Sixers vs Rockets would have rematch in 1981 but this time the nba finals
Sixers never played the rockets in the finals. 1981, it was the Lakers and the Sixers lost.
@@timothyrichards8706 Sixers we’re up 3-1 on Celtics and lost the series in 7 in the eastern conference finals in 1981 they lost to the Lakers in the finals in 1982
In 81, it was the Rockets vs the Celtics. ‘82 was the Sixers and the Lakers
@@NavyCJ216They moved the Rockets to the west and the Bulls to the east for the arrival of Olajuwon and Jordan. Also moved the Bucks to the east.
Shit was hella sloppy for both teams
It's called defense
@AnthonyRobinson-dc3pq nah mfers were just turning it over
