Magic Johnson's last-second showdown with Larry Bird needs a deep rewind

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มิ.ย. 2024
  • Game 4 of the 1987 NBA Finals was a crucial juncture in multiple rivalries: the Celtics-Lakers rivalry dating back to the 1950s, and the Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird rivalry that had captivated fans since their college days.
    Down 1 in the closing seconds, the Lakers just needed a bucket and a stop to steal a win at Boston Garden and take a commanding 3-1 series lead. We'll see what happened in their final possession, and the Celtics play that followed, but to really understand those moments we need to go back. We need to understand the options available to the '87 Lakers, including the legendary but aging Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the increasingly dominant Magic Johnson. We need to understand the Celtics' recent history, including that tragic '86-'87 season.
    This is one of the greatest moments in NBA Finals history, and to really understand why, you've gotta rewind.

      There's footage of them at a high school or college all star game where they're on the same team, and they play like a symbiotic being. They know where each other are and constantly do no look passes. If they did super teams in the 80s that would've been epic.

      Celts wouldve won the 87 finals if it werent for the tragedy. Their biggest problem that year came from depleted bench. Walton going down in YET ANOTHER injury plagued season forced heavy minutes on Mchale. If they had Bias, Mchale definitely wouldn't have had to play through injury since March, and possibily didn't even have the injury in the first place.
      With Bias in the roster, they'd have more flexibility. I know Mchale was a PF and Bias is more of a perimeter guy, but Bird can play the post too so they could have Bias and Bird play together. That's how they played Cedric Maxwell and Bird together. Cedric was a natural SF, but Bird could guard big man so they had Bird guard the opposing 4 and score inside-outside on the offense. They could've done that with Bias and take the load off Mchale.
      Just imagine, kevin doesn't play through a broken foot and DOESN'T screw up rest of his career. Not only could they have won 87 finals, but maybe the Celtics dynasty would've lived on.

    • @JMacSD
      @JMacSD 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Yeah it's weird that this video covers Bias, I wasn't expecting this, but just a couple days ago I told a guy at work his story. I thought of him when we heard of a local guy who dabbled in drugs doing some coke and dying by fentanyl. Not that Bias ingested fentanyl in Jan 86, but you can't know what that street drug you're ingesting is cut with, or how your body will react to even the good stuff.

      Exactly. And the Bucks too. The east in the 80s had some insane competition. Other than lakers, no team in the west had won more than 60 games in the 80s. But philly did it twice, Milwaukee and Detroit did it once, respectively.
      I know the numbers say lakers won 5 titles and boston won 3, LA made 9 finals appearance and Boston 5, but I'm all but certain those numbers would've switched if they switched conferences. These two teams were equal in every way.

Maybe Celtics-Lakers is better in terms of both teams being successful (17 each).

He wasn't even in their minds until the next decade hit, he was swept in the First Round and those guys worried about their juggernaut rivalries and age/tear catching up to them, considering we're in the 80s.
      All the way to the early 90s, until they retired because of that mileage and injuries.

    Thank you so much, Secret Base! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Ever since I started watching Secret Base Rewinder episodes, I’ve been praying for the SB Team to talk about Magic Johnson’s game-winning “baby sky hook” for the longest time. I was so psyched to see SB finally do this episode…and I LOVED IT! Great episode! 👍 👍 Seth, if you’re reading this, great job by you as well. You’re the MAN!

    I'd argue this Finals was the final springboard to the popularity that would get the NBA to exceptional heights in the 90's and the sustained momentum that to an extent continues today. Bias's caused the NBA (and America really) to get real about the drug abuse that had plagued the league and country for years. The networks stopped airing playoff games on tape delay that year. And a rubber match between two big market teams to decide who could claim victory in the rivalry of that decade brought then record tv ratings for the NBA. When people say Bird and Magic saved the league, this is when you could know once and for all that it had been saved and the future was bright.
