They better have had some camera crews in there getting at least 30+ minutes of footage of that celebration. That room will sadly not have a lot of those players in it again in the next 25 years.

@@ianwhitehorn7077 you obviously don’t know basketball, He was one of the the top five power forward’s to ever play the game, when he played it was a man’s game, very physical every player took a cheap shot when they could, it’s not like the soft water down game of today, back then defense was actually played
I mean that’s in 25 years. Most of these guys are in their 60s,70s, 80s and 90s. Sadly the vast majority of these greats will likely not be with us anymore..
Aww, that was _fantastic!_ I could've easily watched an hour of their various encounters & reminiscences. They're older, they're grayer; but they're still kickin'!! Don't even wanna think about gradually losing these fellas. :^{
It must be surreal as one of the older guys there like Bob Pettit who was around in the very early days, and just how much the league has grown/evolved... People are quick to say how easy the game was compared to today but without the old guys the NBA doesn't become what it is now.
