@thenintndogamer Marv HAS been around that long. A little dye job, he's always been rumored to have a toupe or a hair weave, too. But he was my introduction to the Knicks and Rangers on radio in the mid-1960s. He was even an assistant to Marty Glickman, a legendary NY area broadcaster of the 1940 and 50s (before my time), and learned the trade from him. You also hear Jim Gordon's call on this video. A former NY Giant defensive back who did broadcasts of Knicks, Giants and Rangers games.
another amazing fact about this game is that LA had 30 turnovers in the game. 19 in the second half. yes, the great knick d had a lot to do with that, but THIRTY turnovers!?!
yes, dave the rave. returned to the knicks after a heart attack. a valuable piece that no one expected to appear on the 69-70 team. all of a sudden they had a premier bench player. a starter on many other teams.
Probably the smartest team ever. Also phenomenal outside shooters from top to bottom, including Stallworth and Russell coming off the bench. And the reverse drive Stallworth pulls on Chamberlain near the end is the stuff of New York basketball legend.
chamberlain is the culprit here. he is out of position on offense, standing to the opposite side of the ball flow; not underneath for rebounds, sluggish on defense. Perhaps he had too many babes the night before ;-)
he is CALLED for palming, that why they seem clumsy, because they couldnt palm the ball, today`s rule dont allowed also, but most of the time and if is a star they dont call it...

Holy shit, I didn't know Marv Albert broadcasted for that long. Also why is it in black and white?

Still orgasmic after all these years. . .
Still haven't seen a team play defense and offense like these Knicks. Unbelievably smart team.
Awesome.
