Golden State Warriors 1974-75 NBA Playoffs

[djchuckdeez]

i hope we get one of these in my life time

[jirishanca]

If that notebook showed up on ebay, I'd bid some real money to get it. Must be a real jewel, from the best basketball announcer (OK, along with Chick Hearn) I've ever heard.

[GeraldB526]

Keith Wilkes? I thought his name was Jamaal Wilkes.

[6749er]

He changed it later to Jamaal.

This was the greatest.

Charles Johnson shut down Van Lear.

Un-sung key.

[HawkNation33]

It's like he's reading a fairytale. Didn't they have cue-cards in the mid-70s? I recall Bill King interviewing two young pitchers for the Athletics, one was Curt Young, on the field and all of a sudden he started ridiculing them as nobodies. What a crotchety old fart he was and I'm glad he's dead.

[CPM9]

I'll just repeat it again. Bill King is THE best play by play guy of the past 30 years.

[biggiefrankwhite]

BILL RIP!

[frankd1965]

Bill King was a legend Wholly Toledo" was his catch phrase.

[dwayne5674]

Just hearing Bill King's voice reminds me of my youth listening to Oakland A's games as I was growing up in Fairfield and Sacramento, Ca.

[frankd1965]

He did the Raiders(Oakland & Los Angeles) play by play.

[jonjrob]

Bill King was the best broadcaster in the history of sports. I am lucky enough to have recorded the retrospective on knbr.

[ebblue81]

Bill King best brodcaster of our time

[ericcollins81]

this is a guy who called all three raiders superbowl championships,the warriors 1975 championship and the a's title in 1989 a great broadcaster who was so lucky and fortunate to be apart of those teams

[jayanpeludo]

Bill King, the best.

[oraclearena]

go warriors

all warriors fans add me

[ystephanshrem]

Georgeous Johnson IN YOUR FACE!

[ystephanshrem]

George Johnson in your face! Gorgiuos Johnson!

[unclebobunclebob]

Damn those Warriors. Even after all these years I say it. Damn those Warriors and that Bulls traitor Clifford Ray. I was at game six in the stadium on Mother's Day when Rick Barry went nuts and killed our only chance with a great team to go to the finals.

[JavateamAndre]

Rick Barry is one of the greatest players in the history of basketball

[SFFOOL76]

I miss Bill King, the Bay Area's best announcer ! R.I.P.

[arawarrior99]

R.I.P Bill King.

[dharmabums320]

Amen. And peace to Phil Smith's ashes as well. He was so underrated.

[agentk1986]

I forgot that the Bulls used to play in the western conference all those years ago!

[gocelts34n7]

warriors suck. 500 team that had one lucky series.

[jammug]

Yeah, so when are you going to have a professional team back in Boston? Sad when you play the last half of 2006-07 hoping to get a few more ping-pong balls.

Bill Russel, Sam Jones & John Havlichek must very proud. I know Don Nelson is at least proud of his current team.

[JunkYardDogg92]

42-40 is not 500 dumbass!!! itll be so funny when u guys drop down to the 3rd pick lol!

[anxen03]

We Believe!!! GO WARRIORS!!!

[Saifullaful]

AMEN TO THAT MY BROTHA!!!

[MarkAndreasen]

Holy Toledo! There must be a lid on that basket! The Warriors cannot buy a basket!

-Bill King

What memories. The Warriors shocked the world that year. As a kid I used to shoot free throws Rick Berry Style and developed a huge arc to my shot shooting Keith "Jamal" Wilkes style. George Johnson, Clifford Ray, Coach Al Attles ... Phil Smith ... What a Team!

[slubbadubba]

2007 BABY! WE BELIEVE!!

[gggo2]

What memories!! I was at game 7 in Oakland and my ears are still ringing. That Chicago series was my earliest Warrior memory and I have been a die hard ever since. Great to see the late great Bill King in this clip. A true Bay Area broadcasting legend. Thanks for the clip anxen03!!!!!
