how interesting...he never called it the baby hook??? all this time i thought it was called the baby hook. he called the sky hook.

It later became known as the baby hook. Chick used that term, just not after the shot. (running sky hook)

Chick Hearn was a legend, a true siren broadcast speaking R.I.P Chick you are missed and loved forever by Laker fans.

Well said, an awesome effort by the uploader. 10/10. Other than the scene at 3:21 where Mychal Thompson gets dunked on, this video is boner-worthy thru-out.

I hope David Jew Stern watches this (both parts) and cries himself to sleep over the way he has pussyfied the NBA.

Kareem with the john holmes at 8:19

I'm a Laker fan and this fuckin' game made my nerves twitch again....sorry...but I got to switch out of this channel...I'm startin' to sweat...!

Chick was, is and always be, the best announcer in Basket Ball history.

I was glued to the tv during these games...and I remember this one in particular, as I was horrified (as a Laker fan) to see Bird's shot at the buzzer--I was sure it would swish the net. Those years it seemed to me the NBA was perfect--Magic and Bird, with Chick (and a worthy sidekick) calling it. As the years have gone by, any real Laker fan can't help appreciate how good these freaking Celtics were too--and honestly, I always hoped they would break a leg; Glad my wishes never came true.

RIP CHICK, RIP DJ. i wish they can play this way in todays game. and we'll see how tough todays player are. and throwing punchs back then you still be playing in the game. now you throw a punch today you get thrown out. you throw a punch today you better k.o. that person you swing at.
