NBA's 60 Greatest Playoff Moments: #15

[angel316faze]

The defense back then is that of an old lady smh

[damonwilliams100]

lmao at the defense

[tenuouslilkilla]

its bullshit that jordan's 63 points is 5 places higher

[GTkGaeT]

probably real playoffs record, since MJ played two OT

[sumskater999]

He was the Michael Jordan of that era.

[asyowk]

its reasons like this is why im proud to be a lakers fan

[Narutolover55109]

i feel sad that elgin never got a ring

[Rockider]

defence is so shit.

[Nnetherborn]

@kimvo020887 not even a any defense

[kimv020887]

No three pointers in the NBA back then.

[shizzmogris]

Droppin 61 wit no 3 pointers

[AwesomeDude5415]

@shizzmogris Pistol Pete averaged 44 points in college with no 3's. Experiments say he would of averaged 57 points with the 3 point line

[AwesomeDude5415]

@AwesomeDude5415 57 a game

[ZekeSlamin]

oh man, the defense, boxing-out, and shooting is so much better today

[CoolerKing37]

Red Auerbach looks evil!

[POKEMONADVANCBATTLE2]

lol baylor and jordan both got 60 + points at the boston garden

[Mehranrokh]

stupid

[hermom2]

At first I thought. "61 points has got to be a playoff record" then i remembered MJ's 63 points against the 86 Celtics

[gimmesomedunks]

players like Baylor, Russell, Mikan, Chamberlain are always underrated compared to Jordan, Kobe, Lebron today. So bad just because they dont have the game on TV those days, sigh

[ChrisnSnoop]

Should be way higher...... This is still a FINALS record.

[r1cw]

Lol!! If its in black and white its boring!

[baronvg]

All due respect to Elgin Baylor, but I don't see any of those Celtic players getting a hand up in his face. Haha!

[Angelslover9]

how did the lakers lose the series and break auerbach's record

[kklol7]

One of the reasons why I can't stand Lakers fans these days is because of how much they suck off Kobe, but most of them don't have a clue who Elgin Baylor is.

[westsidenasfan]

@kklol7 Acrtually,i do Elgin Baylor used to play for one of my home states colleges (Seattle University).Sadly,he never won a championship.

[rokmc23]

WTF...basketball back then was so soft...perhaps the not-so-good players of today can beat baylor, havliceck, bill russel and company of the old days . . .

[EricD456]

u see white jump 0:12

[adimitrije2]

Your an idiot

[westy44cal]

Honestly I'm not that impressed with the defense here. No attempt at knocking the ball free or drawing a charge. never knew he had 22rebs too. That's impressive but again the D was suspect. Even big Bill looked perplexed?

[nbafreak41]

Pisses me off that the Lakers always come so close to beating Boston, but the Green wins always. It's what makes me hate the Celtics a little more every time I hear the words "Lakers-Celtics Rivalry".

[2000VinceCarter]

@nbafreak41 i agree 

[nbafreak41]

@2000VinceCarter Yeah. It's like how the Brooklyn Dodgers always came so close to beatin dem Yanks.

[MustangLK21]

@nbafreak41 u better be from los angeles or else ur just a dumb ass fairweather fan like 75% of laker fans. dont talk shit about getting mad if u aint even a real fan

[ajolenick]

@nbafreak41 Go back and watch Game 7 from last year. It'll make you feel so much better haha.

[thenintendogamer]

@nbafreak41 Doesn't the Lakers being the only team in NBA History to claim a title againtst the Celtics on the road at Boston Garden make you smile? (i.e. 1985 NBA Finals)

[fourfootthug]

wow he moved so slow with the ball, but also so fluid and smooth, kinda paul pierce, not relying on speed to penetrate the lanes.

[bigheadbang]

how's this be in top 20?....not even impressive

[fourfootthug]

you try scoring 61 points and grabbing 22 rebounds in a nba playoff game

[vinniebello]

in a nba FINALS game

[the1sin]

then ur retarted 61 points and 22 rebounds against the celtics tell me whats good then huh

[nbafreak41]

Lakers rule.

[SUPERSUNZZ]

Too bad Jordan scored 63; I think that's one of the reasons this is in a lower ranking!

[beyndtstng]

Baylor's 61 in a NBA Finals is more impressive than Jordan's 63. There was no overtime in this gam either plus Baylor's team won.

[huhwhatsthatyousaid]

seeing this footage, the celtic defenders don't even challenge Baylors shots most of the time. Don't know if that happened with all of his shots though. It seems to me the era's are totally different and cannot be compared.

[sebiDD7]

i remind u tht if jordan was playing in tht era he would have gotten like 90 points and would hv won tht game

[beyndtstng]

Unlikely, they called traveling back then :)))

[raider8sox]

I love Red's Reaction=)!!!...

[astrosfan611]

What is the name of this song?

[donwrry]

wow..defence was simply AWFULL

[griffin15]

dude, ur talkin crap bout one of the greatest defensive teams of all time(Celtics) with Russell on the helm... the celtics of old won with defense and your basing your opinion on 45 secs of edited film. that 61 points was decidedly sweet against such a good team but what was sweeter I believe is the 40 rebounds corralled by russell on game 7 and yeah i'm not from Boston heck I am not even american...

[mjm2312]

wow defence was terrible back in the day...

[kg21mack]

holy motherfuckin shit 61 points 22 rebounds BEAST

[jaboo82681]

This should've been higher cause it was in the Finals at Boston Garden and that was the highest point total for an NBA Finals game

[Liface]

Yeah, but it's greatest playoff moments, not games. It shouldn't be on here.

[raider8sox]

kobeownzu81, thanks for being a laker fan like me, but you should know that elgin baylor is one of the greatest shooters in laker history!.

[Kobeownzu81]

uhhh idk. all i know is he is very under rated

[NBaBall3r26]

wat positionElgin Baylor played?

[Mike28326]

Small forward
