      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.

    Larry Bird was a master psychologist in the court. He would get under the skin of his opponents, which threw them off of their game, but played into his.

    I like the old 3 to make 2 FTs... they should bring that back.. penalizes the fouling team a lot more and takes away the free throw game some teams play late and also rewards the dominant players who get fouled hard taking away a sure 2...but dont shoot FTs well.... best example obv. Shaq.

    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.

    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.
