Courtesy of Point Forward from the media thread, these are the youtube links to the 1972 NBA finals between the Lakers and Knicks.

Lakers players include legends like Wilt Chamberlain/Jerry West and Gail Goodrich.

Also watch out for Phil Jackson vs Pat Riley going against each other as players. :lol:

Again, big thanks to Point Forward for coming up with this for I always wanted to watch an old NBA game and the legends that we compare our current players with. Especially watching Jerry West was awesome for me.

I really liked the pace of the game, more up and down than today's teams and Wilt Chamberlain is a monster on the boards even with both hands plastered severely after an injury and playing through without oain killers. :o

Nice ! Now I really understand why the three point line revolutionized the entire basketball.
Hot start and nice shooting by the Lakers ! It's a less physical basketball, everything looks a bit different !

Thank's, j-far !

Lack of ball and player movement by the Lakers.
