Bernard King should be in the Hall Of Fame. Bernard missed two years of his prime. Al Bianchi did a bad job not signing King and then trying to ruin Mark Jackson's career. Interesting about this game. Marvin Webster made every shot he took in this game. 3-3 from the floor and 4-4 from the line. Cartwright also had his career playoff high in this game.

@auerod I agree 110% I saw BK live while he was with the Warriors and Saw Barry & Mully too. They're both HOF players now. King has got to be there too. Who did he piss off to be left out? Please don't use the race card King wouldn't. Hell Mully is played like he's black; no what I mean? BK was un-stoppable until age got him. At 6'4" him and AD & Barkley are the most exciting men to watch EVER

I remember this series like it was yesterday. How could you not? Stuff of legends. And to think that he averaged 28.4ppg at the age of 34 is insane. I think only Jordan averaged more ppg than King at 34. He lost couple of steps after blowing out his knee and he still couldn't be stopped. How is it possible that Bernard King is not in the Hall of Fame? Completely ludicrous.

Ridiculous. What an offensive machine King was !

I agree with so many comments here. Bernard was one of the greatest small forwards of all time and should be in the HOF.  This performance was a classic !!!
