1962: West's Steal and Winning Shot

[AdreasTheGreat]

@REORAUGUST i wonder if u evr play basketball...!no player win byhimself especially against one of the best teams ever,the 60's celtics!even mj,who is consider to be the best ever did n't win anything until pippen join him.mj had his best statisticall season in 80's cause he had to take most the game of his team in offense and defense to!but he did n't make it even in conference finals,wilt played nba finals many times but was byhimself!do u disagree that russell had better teamates?

[AdreasTheGreat]

@REORAUGUST i respect russell very much and is one of the best ever but u should accept that he had much better teamates than wilt in his career.for example russell had cousy,sharman,s.jones,havlicek all of them great players and hof,he laso had heinsohn,howell,sanders as pf...also hof!wilt had good teamets after 66-67(greer,cunningham,walker) and only late in his career had another great star with him-j.west!horry has more rings than mj and kobe,so what?with your logic russell is the best ever

[BoArnberg]

Havlicek Stole the BULLSHIT.. Let's make it to JERRY WEST STOLE THE BALL... Just saying

[mufcrulz]

"no I dont believe that Wilt was better than Russel" - these are your words(in case you forgot xD). do you have any idea how hard it is to average 50ppg for an entire fucking season? do you have any clue how hard it is to score 100 points in one game? do you? do you really?? by your own flawed logic this alone should mean wilt > russell. except...hmmmm...hang on a minute. you think russell is better than wilt. you can't prove that russell made his teamates better so stop that! you're hilarious

[shaqpopcorn34]

@mufcrulz ...wilt was a shot-jacker...did you know that in wilts 2 highest scoring seasons,his teams had a combined 80-80 record?...wilt played complete games,and was a stat-chaser..kept trying to score in blowout wins and losses

wilt= 100 pts on march 2nd,1962 to weak-ass knicks....the team elgin baylor scored 71 on...

wilt= lost 153-102 on march 7th,1962 to the celtics...5 days after his 100 pt game...it was the celtics biggest win all yr...wilt played all of that game,to stat-pad of course

[AdreasTheGreat]

@shaqpopcorn34 wilt took 22.5 shots in his career while mj took 22.9 PLUS many 3points to!of course wilt had to take many shots in the beginning of his career(as mj or kobe after shaq left) since did n't have good teamates.but after 1966 when had great teamates(hof greer,cunningham and walker) wilt took much less shots,led the league in asists(amazing for a center),rebounds and blocks!in the 2nd half of his career wilt avr 62fg%...russell was great to but also had better teamates most of times

[ImportedFromUSSR]

commentary makes me lol xD

[FearOfAnxiety]

and the lakers win it...... lol

[TheFilipinoBoxer]

i wish i could use a time machine to bring me back to that time, i probably would have been a legend with the way they played back then

[gxb360]

Patrick Beverley.

[xxx1domeshot1xxx]

@gxb360 chris smoove

[CODtroll]

not to take anything away from west but a 5year old could have stolen that shit inbound pass rofl.

[dylberry1]

what a sneaky layup!

[halldorarni22]

at 0:06 is that really what he said

[mufcrulz]

west > robertson

[bkruse92]

@mufcrulz Oscar Robertson averaged a triple double for an entire season. I beg to differ. Robertson>West

[mufcrulz]

@bkruse92 lmao so because he averaged a triple double he's automatically better? fail

[bkruse92]

@mufcrulz Um yeah it does. If you look at both players skill set and career stats its really not hard to see that Oscar Robertson was a better all around player. Better rebounder, scorer, passer. Look it up man. West was a great player and shooter and he is one of my favorite all time greats but he doesn't match up with the Big O. Oh and for the record saying fail makes you look like a complete douche.

[mufcrulz]

@bkruse92 "look it up man" lmfao please don't insult me. Oscar was the better passer and rebounder but that's it. In every other facet of basketball west was superior. He was a better scorer (lol at you thinking oscar was the better scorer. go look it up), a better defender, had quicker hands (more steals), was better in the clutch and was a better leader and teamate. Oscar only won two playoff series in 10 years in cincinatti and failed to even reach the playoffs 4 times. He failed to make.....

[mufcrulz]

@bkruse92 ....his teamates better and wasn't the dominant force people like you make him out to be. Oscar was a great player (i have him at number 12 on my all time list) but the casual nba fan overrates him beacuse they are in awe of his triple doubles. Stats don't tell the whole story. If they did you would think wilt was better than russell...

[bkruse92]

@mufcrulz Which of his teammates were better? He had Kareem for a short amount of time and then it was just him. Where as west played with Elgin Baylor and Wilt for multiple seasons. Don't pull this casual NBA fan bull either im no casual fan. Stats definetly don't lie when it comes to basketball. The thing with the entire Wilt vs Russel debate is that Wilt was a physical marvel of his time so no I dont believe that Wilt was better than Russel but Oscar had no physical advantage over West.

[mufcrulz]

@bkruse92 Did you not read the first part of my response (the one you replied to was a continuation! how did you not notice??). I will reply when you have...

[bkruse92]

@mufcrulz How can you prove that Jerry West made his teammates better and Oscar didn't? Yeah you can't so stop that. Have you ever played basketball before? Do you understand how hard it is to even get a triple double in a single game? Not to mention an ENTIRE fucking season. That alone should put Oscar over West not to mention he leads west in most of the stat categories. They both have one ring. Even though Jerry made it to more finals he played with more talented players. My opinion stands

[MyCoolio14]

FUCK THE LOCKOUT

[tae0022]

los angelels in the tags????

[TillDeathAndBack]

@tae0022 You're kidding, right? West played for LA...

[tae0022]

@TillDeathAndBack Not talking about west or any other players. I'm talking 'bout the angelels. A fail by the NBA?

[gatorate]

what a fail inbounds pass...

[Peter258]

man.... talk about a wtf inbound pass...

[itay1111111]

who its in HD ?

[changhannrocks]

EPIC!!! --- Sent From NBA's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[epbball7]

this was only 3 years after the lakers moved to los angeles from minneapolis

[Mr1damian]

i wonder if the commentators where home?

[garnettbeatsnba]

I had to put it on mute because the commentator was to loud.

[Kyle210210]

"the lakers win."

[silenframe]

lakers is the best even in the time of black and white

[4j4y23]

thats why this guys got a logo

[pantazis76]

Never new that had Brain Scalibrenes back then

[MyCockIsNotForYou]

RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES

[sumfingada316]

that commentating wasnt a live one thats why its not as enthusiastic as one would expect

[slipknot7511]

my dad wasnt born then

[johnnyenchilada]

Jimmer Fredette and Brian Scalabrine are the last hope for white people being good in the NBA after Nowitzki is gone.

[nrt0126]

@johnnyenchilada jason kidd bitch what now

[johnnyenchilada]

@nrt0126 Uhh Kidd's dad was black and his mom was white so he's actually half-black. I used to think he was white, too.

[nrt0126]

@johnnyenchilada okay u whore fuck off theres other white players better than u i bet u masterbate in the shower

[BeefyRalph]

@nrt0126 you seem like somewhere between braindead and halfwit.

[nrt0126]

@BeefyRalph you seem somewhere between alone and sad to me

[Walnut8711]

@johnnyenchilada @nrt0126 if you look at kidd's dad he looks half white or at least part white. his mom is fully white tho

[garnettbeatsnba]

@johnnyenchilada Brian Scalabrine is MVP, so no need to worry.

[eldiablo8824]

@johnnyenchilada dirk is german.

[johnnyenchilada]

@eldiablo8824 Yeah he is still white. Being white doesn't mean being American or British. Its a skin color.

[johnnyenchilada]

@xKillaVanillax I think he is saying that Bosh sucks, yet he is still better than everyone in the video.

[laykerzfan4lyfe]

wow i actually was waiting for the commentator to go crazy because of the comments hahaha

[TwYx2k9]

i guess this commentator was the kyle montgomery of the 60's

[OutspokenNaysayer]

what a terrible inbound...

[dito244]

0:13 the commentator goes crazy!!!

[supermandwight54]

maybe the sports announcer was a boston fan

[PowerToThePlanet05]

one of the only reasons i am proud to be from WV.. Jerry West :D

[Goldenblade14]

Sports announcers in the 60's are so much more ecstatic than now.

[moewwe54]

LOL after reading the top comments I was expecting the commentators to go crazy

[doule76]

great inbounce pass by the way. my 2 year old son could have passed that ball better..

[dramatish]

this was the time when white unathletic players were the heros in basketball..damn how fast time flies...

[jaspreetsekhon]

I was expecting the commentators to yell and scream or something -_-

Thanks for getting my hopes up top comments.......Thanks

[Tergski]

Commentator: yeah, West steals it and wins it. No big deal really.

[wae9kang]

I noticed thr were no three point lines in th 1960s..

[res0zsfa]

everyone is white here

[tolikoliander]

I think lebron clearly traveled here

[DeEjAyLaYzBoi916]

they're nothing compared to Brian Scalabrine

[TheKevolutioner]

Chris Bosh > Everyone in the video.

[tgms177]

@TheKevolutioner why bosh

[GSCommander]

People were boring back then. Listen to the excitement of the commentator(s).

[israbiu]

it would've been better if he dunked it

[GeneralParadigm]

That was game 3, won by the Lakers 117-115. The Series went the distance, with Celtics winning game 7, 110-107 in OT.

[KingTwinkie1]

THAT WAS LAME = SUCKS

[DunkAllOverYou12]

i hate how the announcer is so un-enthusiastic about the play

[MRdotSmil3Z]

a time before black people...when other backgrounds had a chance...

[gavincorrea]

@MRdotSmil3Z Pretty sure a white dude won Finals MVP. And the last guy to win 2 MVPs back to back was a Canadian white boy.

[usman112233]

i love how enthusiastic the sports announcers were

[rolandroiroi]

im not sure guys, but i think this is worse than scalabrine's inbound pass

[2King3James6]

@rolandroiroi all inbound passes r worse than scalabrine's because the white mamba is god <3

[rolandroiroi]

@2King3James6 ROFL!!

[bacondude1985]

Possibly the worst pass ever, and the most unenthusiastic announcer of all time

[crabmeat08]

That was a VERY bad pass.

[RockZilla4000]

That Narrator Is Too Enthusiastic :D

[Zaid777]

White boy's so shit prolly wouldn't make the D-league if he were in his prime right now.

[landea46]

@Zaid777 oh you must be black haha

[illWillienumber31]

what a God awful pass

[RaY4451]

OMG

1962

[Ovais1470]

/watch?v=1k7UUj7OUx0 NBA 2K12 COVER RELEASED

[tqsuited]

The commentator should've contained his excitement better

[Mihajlo98]

@tqsuited Other times :)



[Protatotype]

I WAS AT THE GAME!

[Ammaculate44]

Fuck the Lakers

[rolintin]

I remember that

[queensbridge26]

Commentator ruined the moment

[rolandroiroi]

WHITE PEOPLE PLAYING BASKETBALL

[blasterLA24]

jerry is fuckin' beast y'all',,,KOBEAST',,,SWAG'

[lorandimecs]

you put a lebron back in the days...he would avarage... and i mean avarage at least 70points a game.. and im dead serious.

[ringlol]

@lorandimecs Put lebron in back then and he would be working the fields... just saying

[BeAnBeAn22]

@ringlol nice

[TheAwesomecheeseman]

@lorandimecs and would still have 0 ring

[BillORele]

@lorandimecs Except Lebron would have the same diet/training/coaching/workout routine as the rest of the league and so would play like them, not like the modern player. Stupid point to make.

[lorandimecs]

@BillORele my point is that the game has evolved so much that these so called legends would be lost in todays basketball world....but then again, they are the ones that made basketball what it is today.

[plyleo3]

can we keep out racism out of the video please? like who gives a fuck.

[dramatish]

@plyleo3 i do

[YourNameHere136]

didnt the celtics win the finals that year

[jumpman3210]

The greatest playoff pass after Luke Walton to Kobe

[koolaidplz]

wow i never knew the lakers came from no black ppl to only black ppl to rarly any white ppl =P history

[SuperMakintos]

in 7th grade i had a vertical jump of 68 inches. in highschool it went up to 240 inches and i could already dunk from opposite basket. i once dunked over my 8 year brother who was 8'9 at that time, and he was jumping. he had a 104 inch vertical.

[1994Jett]

@SuperMakintos What the flip? You random person..xD

[remziiee]

@SuperMakintos

lol u random kid

[BrentWoodSean38]

The Logo

[FunnySkatersPuga]

the lakers win it

[TinCan916]

Why are they uploading videos from way back then. Even the NBA2K12 covers feature 3 hall of famers.

[WorldOfSnakes]

@TinCan916 Because it's better than what we got now.

[CF630]

i wouldnt say greatest moments, that should be in 60 shittest passes :P

[melodettv]

should be a bounce pass.

[Thesuperaidan]

Why is the top comment racist?

[ThoroughlyFurnished]

@Thesuperaidan it's not racist, read it again.

[flybOiizel]

NBA logo, he had to be nice.

[hickfromfrenchlick]

but who won the series.....lol

[Noob1342]

@hickfromfrenchlick JO MOMMA

[hickfromfrenchlick]

@Noob1342 yeah but it was a come from behind win

[Noob1342]

[hickfromfrenchlick]

@Noob1342 yeah me too but i don't play black ops

[Noob1342]

@hickfromfrenchlick cool

[p1etji]

That pass was so lame...

[THANUMBA1NIGGA]

Why would he inbound the ball and West is right there!??

[MrSpitles]

There were no 3 points lines :X

[TheJesus0Christ]

The commentator's were laker haters

[SpydaMonster]

jerry west is a greater laker than kobe bryant.

[TheTurkgamer]

that should be the most racistic moment in nba playoffs

[Quantizeful]

Thats a middle school player mistake... From the one who inbounded.

[MrDarkKobe24]

@scillage14 oh. hope they saved them so they could upload them again

[Xphylez]

one of the first guards to have multiple 30ppg seasons...definitely one of the first to hold it down for the PGs...jerry west dat nigga

[eni5000]

@scillage14

they dont delete them they just made them privat so when lockout is over all videos are back

[MrDarkKobe24]

What the!? NBA does only have 100 videos! WTF?

[jasonbui95]

horrible pass by a white man

[sayan007lbn]

omg :O



[mhlakersfan]

horrible pass

[mallman]

there were no replays back then

[MrCarl305]

West travelled lol

[taylortype]

happy 100th video looool

[bennyleighs]

Why is there no 3point line?

[Nacho773]

@bennyleighs There was no three points back then.

[Jgt0021]

@bennyleighs The NBA adopted the 3 point line in the 1979-80 season

[whattaphuck]

0:13 look at the crowd, all wearing suits at the basketball game :)

[xSchneids]

@whattaphuck It was a different time man, everyone wore suits everywhere

[MrObame]

@whattaphuck

well atleast they dress formally to show respect for the game, unlike people do today

[henrimart7]

@MrObame Come on that ain't true, people still love and respect the game I wouldn't enjoy watching a basketball game when im sweating in a suit.

[MrObame]

@henrimart7

lol ok maybe your right =)

[max100191]

@whattaphuck im gonna bring that style back

[TheSmooth94]

probably the worst pass ever as well...

[jij53]

Go for 3 ;)

[colossalko]

basketball before black people discovered it.

[NateRobinsonNBA]

see no 3 point line :)

[Bigtimekillr]

cool story bro

[196196001]

PFFT white people cant play

[EllJayOfficial]

ever hear of dirk nowitzki? lol

[MrBullsTalk]

And people comment on the commentating, even though theres a player on the floor thats considered to be a better shooting guard then Kobe on the floor. Classic

[iAteurMomma]

woah commentators were hyped back in the day

[HaRtBrEaKiiiD]

wow that's some history... those basketballers are either grand dads or great grand dads now :X

[xXlouithanXx]

@HaRtBrEaKiiiD theyre prolly dead

[TheSTJ24]

that was a poor attempt to lose his defender.

[MGSRaiden1]

The commentator needs to CALM DOWN.
