      Yes! As much as we revere the likes of Jordan, Kobe and Steph, they were pure athletes, almost deitified. Basketball stars of the 1970s were humble working men who looked after their own people.

    I was 18 and watched this but time does funny things. I forgot Willis hung in for the entire 1st half and bodied up Chamberlain. Oh man..., has never been a team like this one. Clyde was fantastic

      Twice Reed was voted finals MVP. In 9 consecutive games in the 1970 playoffs against Alcindor and Wilt, Reed scored 266 points with 122 rebounds and shot 53%. 30 and 14 shooting 53% by Willis in the playoffs against Alcindor and Wilt.
      The only thing that stopped Willis Reed was horrible medicine!
      From age 28 to 31, Reed played in 99 games and missed the 1972 playoffs.
      Reed only played 19 games his last season with constant left knee issues and yet he played Jabbar twice within 5 days and held Jabbar to 18 for 40 shooting and 44 points in 86 minutes.
      A badly injured Reed and he held Jabbar to 45% shooting and 22 points in 43 minutes in 1973.

    i coached hoops for 50 years, this was my first team that showed me the game could be beautiful, they still inspire me, Waltons blazers, and Spurs with Duncan/Gino... those 3 champions allowed my teams to have incredible success--that and having awesome players :)

      ....and we saw it on tape delay in Westchester County NY....at the end of game my brother came home from a date saying the Knicks had won hearing it on his car radio. My father and I were looking at him sideways...and then that crazy last 16 seconds unfolded. Truly amazing!!

    Wow, such great memories! To throw something a bit different out there, it was great to hear the voice of the legendary John Condon, who was the greatest PA announcer in history.
    I always looked forward to hearing his voice while attending events at the Garden. The first thing he said was always, "Welcome to the Magic World of Madison Square Garden". When you heard that, you knew that you were about to see something special.

    I remember being in the 9th grade in High School in NYC all I would hear was the Knick's Willis Reed and Walt Frazier I would hear those two names all the time that was the year I became a Knicks fan and then when they won the title that year I was hearing it all over the news and in the schools, first it was the Mets winning the World Series then it was the Jets winning the Superbowl then the Knicks winning the NBA title, NYC was full of Champions between 1969-70 Amazing

    Well if I could go back in time, I think that was the last time I went to a professional basketball game. Really good tickets were about six bucks. They were definitely the greatest team I’ve ever seen, and I do mean team with a T. And if things got a little rocky, Clyde was always there to pick up the pieces and run the show if he had to.
    My older brother used to take me and my other brother to the games, and afterwords, we will go get the autographs. I remember seeing Willis Reed and getting his autograph, I had never seen a human being that huge in my life. He was standing next to this little girl who happened to be his wife but she came up to his belly button and it seemed like. Clyde was a tough autograph …I had to follow him into a bar. Lol. I think one of the things that made it so great was that I was a diehard Nick fan, my oldest brother was a diehard Nick Van Eede, and the brother who was closer to my age 2 years older was a diehard Celtics fan. Mezzanine tickets for the playoffs where I believe $7.50 or $8.50. I still got the stubs somewhere but it was like a blue-collar ticket. Blue Magic going to see a professional basketball game playoff for $7.50. Yes prices have increased for everything, but not like sports tickets and a very few other things. To go to a Yankee game or a Mets game is at think 75 cents and one dollar for the Yankees and Mets I forget which was which, but you would spend another dollar to get into the grandstand. Sports didn’t all overrun each other. Every kid in the neighborhood played baseball in the spring time through the summer and then as each sport would start up professionally, we’d all put away the baseball glove in the back and break out the football Until it was time to take out the basketball. We didn’t really play much hockey but we had our favorite teams. I sucked in basketball but man, there was nothing as exciting as being at a Nick game with the crowd chanting Defense stomping their feet to the point the old Garden was shaking so much you were afraid it was going to collapse.
    These were the days when pretty much all the families in the blue-collar town I grew up in the head anywhere from 2 to 10 kids in the average is probably four or five, so there was a lot going on when it came to sports, no problem getting the neighborhood kids together now play whatever game we were playing, be a basketball baseball football. Those Who are the days that when spring time came, I’d be outside with my bowling glove waiting for anybody to get up at 7:30 in the morning, just pitching the ball against an ex I had painted on the side of the house, and if we had enough kids to play for two teams we did, if not we would play have a field, if not that many, we would just take turns getting up to bat and the rest of the kids playing the field. If they were just two of us, we would just throw the ball back-and-forth and talk to each other for an hour, no cell phones. I’m not saying that it was definitely better, but it sure is always better to me. Of course Being young is always better!
