this is from the 1977 NBA finals (Portland vs Philadelphia). Just an amazing example of how that team played. Just look at the crowd.

  • @chrispdx I agree. When healthy Walton was the best College Center and for ~ 3 years the best pro NBA center ever - tremendous rebounder and passer.

    Unfortunately Walton didn't stay healthy, plus he was a flake - had ridiculous Communist politics, bad facial grooming. But oh well. He's managed to come back and be a decent TV commentator.

  • It was in the first half of game 3 and the Blazers were down 0-2 having lost the first two games in Philly. That quick little sequence --those two ally-oop plays-- essentially turned the entire series around. Walton and the Blazers established their dominance over the Sixers right there.

  • I could put this clip on loop and watch it over and over and over. I remember when it happened...why? Cause I was there.

  • true that.

  • Was this in Games 3, 4 or 6?

  • When Walton was healthy, he might have been the best center in the history of the NBA. Too bad his feet robbed him of a more stellar career.

  • Surprised Walton didn't sprain his ankle on that.

  • That's a famous sequence in Blazer history, but I'd never heard "The Schonz's" call of it, only Brent Musberger's TV bloviating. Thanks for posting.
