powerhouse - the Beatles would have loved Barry's style. While the Beatles from the North of England (and too old) were not Mods they admired Mod fashion which Barry here embodies.
Corny, this video, yes! Accurate your comments? No.
Not much style? Think again. Sports culture was a lot more buttoned-down than the music scene, and Barry represented a sea change -- an outspoken, businesslike jock who was as much show biz as sports biz. He might not have worn a lot of silly mod fashions, but his determination to play for teams of his choosing represented a major countercultural threat to NBA owners.
Barry really didn't have much style. To think this was the same time the Beatles were in the midst of their psychedelic era and were turning the world upside down.
Poor audio but a really wocka-wocka look at a young and cocky Rick Barry. The man has 5 (yes, five) basketball playing sons (youngest is now 15). Despite his flaws (3 marriages, living life thru his boys) he's always been my favorite NBA player. Thanks for the exclusive video.
