The 1971 NBA Finals was the played at the conclusion of the NBA's Silver Anniversary season of 1970-71. The Western Conference Champion Milwaukee Bucks, who were born just three years earlier, swept the Eastern Conference Champion Baltimore Bullets in four games. Baltimore had dethroned the 1969-70 NBA Champion New York Knicks to get to their only NBA Finals appearance (as a Baltimore based franchise). This would be the last time that both participants were playing in their first NBA Finals until the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat got together in the 2006 NBA Finals.

  • @ebf1957 I agree...Only reason the Knicks lost to the Bullets was Reed was hurt the whole series...The Bucks MAY have still won the title, but it sure as heck wouldn't have been a 4 game sweep...

  • @use2slam2 i honestly think it had everything to do with that murder that took place at his D.C. townhouse in the middle of the 73'-74' season. after that, he probably changed a lot

  • I wish Baltimore would get another NBA team. The Baltimore Bullets had the fan support, just that the city would not build them a new arena.

  • i lived in Green Bay Wis back in 68'-73 i remember this was when Kareem(was Lew)and was quite "militant" toward white folks. i remember an interview that was on PBS called

    "black journal" and he was stating how whites were all racists,etc... i think when he finally got out to L.A. like alot of black athletes do and start hanging around with the rich white crowd they open their eyes. white lawyers and business partners and before you know it they want NOTHING to do with the old hood !!!

  • @MichRockHop81108 His birth name was Lewis Ferdinand Alcindor

  • How the hell are the '71 Bucks not on the top 10 NBA Teams?

  • I love these old nba final recap videos.
