1971 Playoffs Knicks vs. Hawks w/ Pistol Pete Maravich

[o0Slickman0o]

Players back in those days had so much more skill from a fundamental standpoint. Also the basketball IQ was just higher in those days, people knew how to play team ball which unironically is the best way to play basketball.

knicks shown constanly hackingand reaching in

[MsFuckduck]

Lol walt frazier did a simple behind the back and the narrarator thought it was an all time move. This is what the 70's were about?

[AdreasTheGreat]

@MsFuckduck first of all i did n't talk u like this..it's very easy to be rude in youtube...u are so brave!u quip about frazier behind back dribble and 70's nba,and i explane to u that back then players did n't make those fansy palming dribbles that make today cause they were n't allow to....if u notice all players palm the ball to fake but back then u should dribble behind the back or between legs to change direction....so simple!

[deepcosmiclove]

@MsFuckduck Hey man, hey did that dribble in the lane.

[bootiack]

knicks had a crushing loss to baltimore that year losing game 7 on their home court by 2 points!!

[FrsBigeasy]

The Knicks were an excellent team in the early 70's that weren't great anywhere except the way they played together & their Head Coach Red Holtzman

[eslgurucalif]

Glad to see the Hawks are finally back in navy blue.

[MultiDKenny]

Yes - most arguments among the knowledgeable

come down to thumper newman, and michael jordan.

[roddickandgasquet1]

I got that same

maravich jersey.

[swr112261]

Notice how they dribbled in those days? Up and down. Now, they allow palming with regularity.

[rusty98um11]

Maravich and company would lite people up these days if they were allowed to palm or travel the way Jordan and others did.

[jcaudill6921]

Yep, which speks volumes of Pistol Pete's abilities back then. If he could do THAT within the rules, imagine the stuff he could do with the garbage they allow today.

[MsFuckduck]

@swr112261 It's fine if you're bitter.

[AdreasTheGreat]

@MsFuckduck they did n't palm not because it was difficult u fool but it was n't allow to....they would call travelling...acually nba allow palming in 80's!do u think maravicj,frazier,oscar,west...­.and all those great dribbler could n't just palm and change direction like now?are u 20 years old?

[MsFuckduck]

@AdreasTheGreat I didn't say anything about palming you idiot. What are you trying to prove? Who are you trying to impress?
