1987 NBA Finals Lakers Celtics 6th Game Chick Hearn

[MrSlik25]

I sense some sports betting going on with these refs.

[lakertang]

Chick was the lakers

[TrunkDaPhunk]

.....thank you Chick Hearn for being one of the many voices from my childhood. May you rest in eternal peace.

[Mohit5466]

these players back then sucked -__- i didnt even see them make one shot. imagine kobe with them back then . wow lol

[neptunitedistraction]

@Mohit5466 I've seen videos where Kobe, Lebron, Wade, and Kevin Durant didn't make shots either. Does that mean that they suck? lol

[imsljr420]

@Mohit5466 : he'd go 6 of 24 like in the finals

[defnyung]

Showtime, Chick Hearn and The Forum can never be duplicated.

[MrTachyon3000]

Ha ha! Cosmetic call(make up call). AC Green tight as a violin string. Chick and his chickisms. Love you Chick! Basketball isn't the same without you.

[IndianAngel95]

if only chick was alive...

[NowLifeStarts]

@IndianAngel95 He is and always will be alive in our hearts.

[dixonmixin10]

If only Chick could've called the 2010 Finals...

[Junkosei]

damn...Worthy with the foul? unbelievable... he wasn't even near the ball.

[ErikS1975FreeState]

The 1987 Lakers might be the best team in NBA History

[2pacisthebest90]

@ErikS1975FreeState 85 team probably.

[Kawabunga03]

Chick was one of the main reason i came to love the NBA and the Lakers back at the age of 8 in 1994. I miss this guy so much, no commentator has entertained me he has since 2002. NBA On ABC is a JOKE!! a true joke. only Gus Johnson is entertaining, not like chick but he is good at what he does.

[richardp6upb]

sus

[Kickingit06]

I would have appreciated Chick much more if I didn't hate the Lakers so much. But in truth, I have no problem with anyone believing he is the best ever. Although I like Johnny most's rough and tumble style just as much as Chick's silky style.

[donthate1503]

stupid

[runelord37]

greatest play by play anouncer and color commentator of any sport all time RIP chick

[Jiltedin2007]

This game was in the Refrigerator.....No wait, this is too big to put in a Refrigerator, this game belongs in an Ice Box. Chick Hearn's comments when announcing this game to be over. I was listening to this game on Radio, like I do with most Lakers Games.

[maxeywaxeyfaxey15]

these were the good old days..

[STINGTNA81]

I dont know how Boston blew this one, an Ageless Kareem was a factor as well

[thecaliforniaknight]

Look those are what real shorts look like.

[bradleyparikh73]

OldGoldenThroat, reminds me of why I play basketball, along with all the fancy dunks. If you can't dunk yet, you GOTTA start practicing. I highly recommend you to try the one I'm using - (50 inch vertical [dot] com) - I m 5 7 and I can dunk!

[etks1957]

As far as basketball play by play, Chick Hearn was a Mozart, DaVinci, a true genius at his craft. He made the game better, everytime. On radio, you could envision the action in your minds eye through him. Literally see the game.

[veramann]

Well, the Celtics are a bunch of pussies. Just look at Paul P. He faked his injury with the Lakers in the playoff.

Now the Celtics are going down this year. They're going to get their asses kicked by the Cavaliers.

[AllAmerican1964]

@veramann Hey man, just dream on the celtics WILL beat the Lakers just like in 2008! They have a toughness about them that no team can touch. Nobody thought they could beat Cleveland or Orlando but now there here and we will win Number 18.

Sorry L.A. maybe next year!!!!

[veramann]

@AllAmerican1964 The Lakers are a better team now, especially when they have Ron Artest to slow down Paul Pierce. The Lakers are better because Gasol has improved and Garnett is older. Plus, they're going to put Kobe on Rondo to stop him. So the Lakers have the solution to beat the Celtics. The Lakers will also use the the lost in 2008 to motivate themself; the Lakers are too talent and they're more talent than the Cavs and the Magic.

[fbxxxfb]

@AllAmerican1964 hi im from the future celtics lost

[desimunda116]

@AllAmerican1964 :) 

[LEE690000]

it about getting paid by the hometeam or the jerry buss to get that call...

[raider8sox]

some of the things that chick used to say, still makes me laugh:), lol, good job of acting:), you know he was truly a laker fan:)!!!

[idesign2]

And I thought referees today were bad. Holy moly, those calls were terrible.

[DejectedPanda]

NBA has always had the worst officiating as long as I've been watching sports, imo.

[Slapnutzmalone]

That's two HORRIBLE calls at the beginning and the call on Worthy is fucking laughable!!

HE WAS BEHIND EVERYONE JUST STANDING THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WonderBread006]

Lakers are the best franchise of the 80s, sorry celtics

[eurostandar]

len bias simply

[LYONSPOTTER]

If only he would have been there, this 87 Lakers team would never be talked about.

[afrundzhyan75]

I loved his Chikisms!

[JMT2000]

The Lakers of 1987 were the best team ever...

[LYONSPOTTER]

Meh.

[415Riggs]

86 celtics won because of ralph sampson... the 87 lakers ran those old celtics ragged. the finals of 87 wasnt even close.!!!!!!!!!! what did the celts do in 88??? nothing!!! 86 celts won because of a lakers screw up. i still say the 87 los angleles lakers were the greatest nba team of all time.

[Flipper79able]

86 Celtics would have killed the 87 Lakers. They had a better record.

[MerkinMuffly]

The 86 Lakers pussy'd out because they knew they would get their asses kicked. They waited for Walton to go down, McHale on broken foot and Parish on 2 badly sprained ankle, and the Celtics still nearly beat them, if not for a shitty non-call in the 4th game.

[GoingOn9Lives]

86 Celtics were better than the 87 Lakers by far.

[ssiknick83]

Absoultely not. Lakers of the 80s were a much deeper team more skillful team.

[jukeboxflip]

wow how was james worthy not pissed??? those refs violated him! he's too calm lol

[lflr4lnco]

na he probably just had more fouls to give then kareem or magic

[mychingon11]

ur right what happend to all the great play by play guys , the let ex players and fired coaches say their apinion and dont bother calling the game

[KDANTEATER]

Chick Hearn was awesome. I hate the commentators in this years finals. They do not talk about the games, they talk about their kids.

[Civsuccess2]

Indeed, NBA was going down hill with ESPN and NBC. Commentators now only know how to chitchat or give opinionated comment.

[jimistreets]

1987 Lakers...Greatest team of all time...Hands down...No contest...Case closed...It's in the refridgerator!!!

[hartistry1957]

I miss hating the Lakers.

[joescott421]

...FUCK danny ainge

[hartistry1957]

gambler aye?

[hartistry1957]

Why? Did you:)

[joescott421]

Chick was the simulcast announcer t.v. and radio... thats why he was the best...the original. and the man that named almost every key move in the NBA...slam dunk, swish, airball, ally-oop, etc...

[amd77j]

@joescott421 Amen. Just listen to how descriptive this call is. Without missing a beat. And honest. He called it the way he saw it. If the Lakers were playing poorly Chick would call it the way he saw it. R.I.P., Chick. We miss you.

[ororaj]

I miss his voice!!! Chick you'll always be the best.

[larrysigep]

tim donaghy much?

[86celtics]

The 80's was hands down the golden age of the NBA.

[jeditwinz]

Without a doubt. There were still great players left from the 70s like Dr J and Kareem along with the next generation of Bird and Magic, and then the last of the dying breed came along in guys like Jordan, Barkley and Hakeem

[mackcrusher]

...who still dominated in the 1990s. Stockton and Malone too. And Ewing. All of them were stars in the 80s as well.

And let's not forget Isiah Thomas (the player). And Clyde before he lost his hair.

[jeditwinz]

LOL. Yeah those were great players also...with or without hair

[hypermonkey26]

Jordan being the greatest of all time of course...the best in any era.

[jeditwinz]

Of course

[frusionnn]

of course -_^

[KHayes666]

Larry Bird would have put up similar stats if he got to play against the Vancouver Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors and the late 90's watered down NBA....Jordan is NOT the best of all time

[hypermonkey24]

1986 Boston Celtics are considered one of the greatest teams of all time(if not the greatest by you zealots). Jordan scored how many off that team in the Playoffs in one game? Yeahhhhhh right.

Jordan is GOAT. It's not even a real debate. Only the misguided diluded types like yourself choose to see differently. Doesn't take a a sports fanatic to know who/what Jordan is.

That aside, Bird was the most intelligent basketball player and greatest white player of all time.

[KHayes666]

lol @ greatest white player of all time.

Since when does color have to do with anything? At least back in the 80's when NBA players weren't out and out niggers like today's NBA players with criminal records and tattoos as long as my arm.

Jordan is one of the greats, no doubt about it, but he's no Larry Legend

[hypermonkey24]

Your the racist bud not me. Race has nothing to do with it though blacks tend to be better athletes.

Their really is no logical basis for your opinon. I guess when 99% of people know that jordan is the best you will be the 1% who differs. You opinion really doesn't matter. I suppose you can believe than 9/11 was an inside job or Armstrong never layed foot on the moon. But people who believe that are crackpots..something to think about.

[gojira930]

before anybody says this, because someone will, i'll say it for you. REFS WERE AGAINST THE CELTICS/LAKERS! the fix was totally/not in! dirty refs in the 80's! Somebody call the police!! AAAAAAH!

[whatitbe33]

How come this game had local announcers on it i thought it was broadcast on CBS?

[Howie4Pres]

Chick was the radio announcer

[DJAerial]

Slaaam dunk!

RIP Chick

[hellofoos]

boston lakers 08

[Dashreddah]

21 years later, the rematch is on!!! Boston vs LA '08!

[80sNBA]

You see kids?... The refs even sucked back in the 80's.

[whiteboi626]

lakers are gonna play celtics in finals and as hard as it is listen to lakers with out hearing chick hearn i hope hes watching from above smiling at "the kid kobe"

[whiteboi626]
