Retro NBA: New York Knicks 1970

@Jikk I do think the 3-point shot has really hurt the artistry of the game. Any rule that promotes player standing around on the perimeter instead of moving without the ball, any rule that makes passing less important, hurts the game.

just past the 40th anniversary of that game 7. you just never get tired of those highlights. you get chills !

The 3-point shot has destroyed much of the kind of teamwork that the old Knicks demonstrated. Now, instead of a team having to move without the ball, it places 2guys on the 3-point perimeter, waiting and standing there. The 3-point shot is like the "designated hitter" of the NBA. It has lessened the artistry of the game and introduced a caveman, ugly aspect.

The three point line hasn't ruined anything, stop over exaggerating.

Man ...those guys WERE the greatest! And true sportsmen. Debusschere, and "Clyde" were my fav's. I've never forgotten those "champion" teams. Recently saw a clip where they were retiring Dick Barnett's jersey, and showed all the starters, and Coach Holtzman standing at center court, and i started tearing up. I miss all those guys. God Bless Dave DeBusschere!
