Once Larry helped Rambis up, that took all the anger out of rambis. Great move by Larry.
Greatest era of Basketball....period...
If you ask Larry bird,this when flopping started🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still blame Vlade Divac
Rambis rolled over, popped up and *lunged* - ready to scrap it out. Lol
It was AWESOME - those 80s NBA players were tough and unafraid !
Just watched this scene on Winning time 😂
same
Hey Kurt, a few years back i saw Nash out and about. I told him he was the second best player ever to come out of Santa Clara. - 80s Lakers fan. Thx for the memories Kurt and Byron!
Thanks for the story OG! Im a 90's baby that noticed y'all beyond late! Haha,to hear your side now is well appreciated 😎🍻🍺
Kevin was always thoughtful. Even when clotheslining Rambis he made sure to help him land perfectly. A true professional.
I love it....just free throws. Just an example of different times
If Lebron played in this era, the mop boys would be underpaid for cleaning all of Lebrons tears on the court. 🤣
Get off of Bron’s shit. He probably would’ve finished through the contact and roared. Rambis even said, “It’s not a basketball play!”
@@WonBoii411lebron would not 1 season in the 80s . Get your nose out of his ass.
I don't think Kevin intentionally tried to hurt Kurt. I do think Kevin wanted to show his own teammates he was tough. I think it happened so fast that nobody really had time to come up with a conspiracy. Just a bang bang play. Raise your hand to the scorer's table and go about your day.
Because of what Bird said....

Kurt Rambis was known for his hard fouling. He was smart enough to realize it was just hard play and some karma
exactly. It gets to me that Rambis became known as the victim now, when he played dirty, he was just a lot better at not getting caught.
Hard fouling versus a clothesline that could have resulted in serious injury. As Kurt said, it wasn't a basketball play.
Love rambis Clark Kent of nba
In today's rules, McHale would have been thrown out and probably suspended. I was a Lakers fan at the time, I don't recall the Celtics doing these types of fouls often. It was Detroit who took it to a new level - LOL.
Yes. Knicks too at times.
Stop, the Celtics was always playing dirty.
Mandatory counselling also
That’s not a basketball play. Rambis could’ve died or be paralyzed with some shit like that! And then what?
That's because today's basketball is weai
Yea I remember that play vividly
The epic era.
Aftet that incident the press asked McHale about it & Kevin put on his choir boy face & said " i really like the guy " (Rambis).
That foul by Mikal was definitely excessive, but I will say as a Celtics fan that whenever Rambus checked into the game, one of the Celtics best players would end up hobbling off the court with an injury
Foul by who?
saw that game live on tv back then. i don't think any technicals were called. kevin said he was trying to grab him. lol. he was trying to hold him up! lol.
If you have a pretty good vertical leap and you get your legs taken out from under yourself at apex... if you get hit hard enough at that moment you feel yourself entering rotation and worry about landing on your neck, crown, or forehead. I went into a back spin and landed on my back and got winded. Best place to land but shit that is the worst feeling in the world to have the air knocked out of yourself. Kurt is a real champion for getting up as quick as he was knocked down.
Makes me think of Jerry Rice and his helicopter and windmill impressions.
Whenever I tell a youngin’ how rough the NBA was in the 80s that play is the very first one I always point to.
That must’ve been an adrenaline rush that allowed Rambo to get right back and ready to go. He must e been in some pain later on after a vicious foul like that.
If a play like this happened today with LeBum, he'd be screaming for McHale to be arrested by the cops and put in jail.
It was ML Carr that got McHale to do it.
ML Carr. How come I'm not surprised! (Lifelong Pistons fan).
Somebody help me out here. I saw this foul when it happened, but I haven't heard any interviews with McHale in later years. It looked to me then as it does now--like McHale intentionally fouled Rambis but did not intend the foul as malicious or even dangerous. It looked to me like he gave up the foul to stop the sure score, but his speed and that of Rambis caused the awkward tangle and fall that followed. I did wonder why he didn't try to get his other arm behind Rambis to soften the fall, but that might go back to the awkwardness....
Clark Kent. I love you guys . LFL
If that had happened today Kevin would've been kicked out of the game and suspended.
I wonder why on the HBO show Winning Time, they never mention Danny Ainge? They never show his name on a jersey or anything. No mention.
Wait! I thought only Bill Lambier committed hard fouls and the rest of the league played touch basketball. Kevin McHale mugged someone and wasn't arrested?? How could that be?
That was out of character for McHale
That WAS the character of LameBeer
@@abc-bu7nr You're kidding, right? McHale played like a goon when he was in the Big Ten. It didn't change when he got to Boston. He was just as rough a player as anyone else in ear in the NBA.
When basketball was great.
A time when you had to be a real tough guy to play the game
After the game Kevin McHale said this was East Coast basketball.
Indeed it was. As well as Boston referees. The LACK of any call OTHER than a personal foul on that made the entire NBA look really bad.
@@K9AF apparently you've never seen hockey of that era. All sports were played rough then, and for much, much less money. It was thought of as part of the entertainment, like fights in hockey still are.
kurt's fault, he ran into mchale's elbow
Honest mistake haha, celtic fan. ....great rivalry with great players
Didn't hear anything that was said...was too distracted by his pinky
I'm a Celtic fan, and I thought it was a BS foul (totally unnecessary) !
I thought Kevin should have been throw out of the game.
Me too.
Looked dangerous af, that would warrant a suspension for a few games in today's league
Celtics fan here and I agree
Hell McHale was probably surprised he wasn't
Shit, Rambis was a token.
Like Kurt wasn't one of the dirtiest players of that era.
How?
Boston brain is at work.
