@M Sorry, soccer is a boring sport. Typically three or four guys running, the rest walking or standing around. Shots on goal are rare. 90 wasted minutes. Heck, the fans in the stands aren't even paying much attention.
Walt Frazier just looks so much more switched on this game than the rest of them. Also chamberlain’s free throws are beyond shit this game it’s actually funny.
Brian Johnson And also back when the Lakers were a snake-bitten team, constantly getting Heartbroken in the Finals every year, man, it would’ve been frustrating being a Lakers fan back then.
@@Flamingbro69 yeah I guess when people think of the Lakers as a storied franchise, most of that history is everything magic Johnson and onward. Not that the Lakers weren't still important before that.
Faisal Salam Yeah, the Lakers also had that historic, record-setting 1971-72 Season, where everyone doubted them because they thought that they were getting too old for them to compete and everyone was focusing on the young and upcoming Bucks with Kareem and an old Big O on their team. However, we know how the story goes...
As a season ticket holder that year, sports memories do not come any better or joyious than this. Clyde and gang were amazing, plus the Captains No.19. presents, need I say more.
I was nine years old when this game was played. And at that time although I was a knick fan Frazier wasn't my favorite player. I would learn to appreciate his ability (especially on defense) and style of play later on in my basketball development. But coming from New York I was more attracted to Earl the Pearl and later on Pistol Pete's flashy school yard style. Because that's the way we played (or tried to play, ha, hahaha) in my neighborhood. This was a great game and nostalgia at it's optimum best.
@@evilgramcrackr2910 No pistol never played for the Knicks you misunderstood what I said. I was just expressing the fact that the guys that I admired and wanted to emulate back then were the flashy players like the two that I mentioned and others..
1:41:45 Hearing the announcer saying President Nixon made me sick to my stomach. President Nixon was the president the last time the Knicks won a chip.
It’s unfortunate that steals weren’t an official statistic at that time because Clyde had at least seven in this game. The teamwork of this Knicks team was the best I ever saw.
well back then hose were long range lmao, so it's like how we shoot 3s now, but slightly easier and worth less points so that's why it seems like they always go in but the people taking them are all specialists for sure
Why is there so many people in the comments acting like this is their last championship as well. That is not true. They won one a few years after this. It's so annoying that so many people are saying false information to clown the Knicks even though they are making themselves look like a clown.
I'm 60..😆 I've never left the Knicks, Met's, Jet's and Rangers, since this game. True Story! When Reed came outta that Locker room buttoning up that jersey..SOLD!..😆 Never left, even under the most EXTREME circumstances..🤣
Well idk why maybe Copyright. But believe it or not i remember on TH-cam a few years back someone uploaded the radio broadcast of wilts 100 point game. I listened to it. I wish i would have saved it Also on TH-cam they had the 1957 nba finals game 7 3 overtime game. Russell chase down block. I really wish TH-cam would stop taking these down
The amount of jumpers made in this game should show all hoopers today that back then these dudes had straps too. Dudes hitting pull-ups, turn arounds, running jumpers lol. Shits crazy, I LOVE THIS GAME🏀
Defense was not as good and they were shooting a lot closer than they do today. Also this is the knicks who had a lot of good shooters and they were just on another level this game. Most games and teams were not like this. Just look at the league shooting percentages
I watched this team during their regular season and they played team ball night in and night out!!!! The scoring was always balanced!!!! The starters each had around 20 points each and the bench poured in 20 plus points too!!!! I was difficult for opposing to defend against them because the players were always in constant motion and so was the ball. The lived the concept of "Ball movement/player movement!!!! If you double teamed anyone that would make the Knicks happy because you would be playing right into their hands!!!! They would immediately get the ball the man who was left unguarded and he would score!!!! Lol!!
@@madguysomething7790 Thank you. The old Knicks won two championships. On those teams there was no "The Man" because on the Knicks team everyone on the team was "The Man". Who was "The Man"? The Open Man was The Man!!!!
The Lakers had three old HOFers, Erickson who couldn't shoot and a rookie Dick Garrett and no bench. Garrett and Erickson neutralized Bradley and Frasier (really) for six games then this. West and Baylor had to play 48 and were exhausted. Another Laker championship lost by the owner that believed in the "star" system.
Really; ❤️ Watching old& knee surgery knee wilt vs Willis Reed;; Jerry west vs Walt frazier: ; Dave debusschere & the gang : no Gail Goodrich la Lakers would have won they had Gail Goodrich;; ❤️ Boston Celtics vs l.a Lakers 1969 game 7 ;; better game
Wow a blast from the past, when dribbing and no carrying the ball, no 3pt line, hand checking allowed, real refs making right calls, no iso, team passing for the open man, dudes playing with injuries, real basketball !
This is true team basketball that plays with a five man offense where no one player is the man because in this offense every player is the man!!!! And this offense does not stand around it is always in motion!!!! In this way, the element of surprise is always on the side of Knicks because the other team never knows what will happen next!!!!! Lol!!!!
Interesting fact, the 1970 NBA Finals was the first time both teams had players names on back (NOB). Later that year, the World Series (Reds and Orioles) both had NOB the first time. And the first year of the NFL season, Super Bowl 5 both teams had NOB the first time.
Wilt FT in the NBA Finals = 124/326, a 38% shooter.Wilt lost 4 game 7s to Russell by a combined 9 points. Once again, imagine how many close games in the Finals Wilt's bricking cost him?

It wasn't funny to Laker fans.
Wilt's entire career he was a poor free thrower
1/11 from the free throw line for Wilt, taken 3 feet behind the stripe
i swear to god he doesnt try

They might’ve thought with the Nets being ABA champs they could’ve took over the NBA eventually as well.

NBA should release ‘67 Wilt videos. Especially the Celtics’ series or the finals series. This is Wilt’s peak imo.
Walt Clyde frazier was phenominal in this championship game and he is a great broadcaster on msg
"a long time ago in a galaxy far far away."
Sounds like starcraps

New York Knicks Always Greatest Champions To Me Especially The 90s , 80s Era Also. #GoNewYorkGo 🏆🏆🏆
How different they played back then.
First time I have ever seen one of these old games
The 21-22 Knicks need to watch this for inspiration all season long..."We Here", Let's Go Knicks!
Knicks had a hot shooting practice and continued it in the game.
13:55 the announcer calls them "The Los Angeles Rams"
Damn New York beat A Stacked Lakers Team
Walt Frazier knows how to play the game of basketball I love to see it
Clyde is the greatest Knick of all time love that man
true!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry ewing!

Some one must know exactly how many steals Clyde had in this game and in the series!!!!
6
14 steals by Clyde in that 7 game series in 1970

There's an LP record of that season with all of the best Marv Albert calls. What an era!
