1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The Los Angeles Lakers faced the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in New York

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,360
for Game 7 of the 1969-70 NBA Finals on May 8, 1970.

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:15,920
The Lakers were in their third consecutive NBA Finals, having lost in 1968 and 69 to

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,400
Bill Russell's Celtics.

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,040
The Knicks were on the rise.

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,640
After early exits from the playoffs in the three previous years, they stormed through

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:29,840
the 1970 season, including 23 wins in their first 24 games and finishing with a 60-22

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,840
record.

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,000
The Lakers were an older team, with Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and Wilt Chamberlain all in their

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,280
mid-30s.

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,400
The core of the Knicks roster was young, including future Hall of Famers Walt Frazier, Bill Bradley,

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,920
Willis Reed, and Dave DeBusher all in their 20s.

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,240
The first six games of the series were tight, with alternating wins and losses and overtimes

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,480
in both games 3 and 4.

15
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,160
This audio recording of Game 7 is from the radio broadcast featuring the legendary announcer,

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,160
Marv Albert.

17
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,920
The Knicks are in the lead, and the big question tonight is what is the status of Willis Reed?

18
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,240
The Knicks and Lakers are warming up down on the court.

19
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,280
The Knicks are two hours left, and the Lakers are two hours right.

20
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,200
Everybody in the house looking for Willis Reed.

21
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,200
Willis is not taking part in the warm-up.

22
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,400
And Frankie Blouse shot on the public address to the fence.

23
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Just made an announcement that I did not catch.

24
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,400
And let's see.

25
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,400
It's being written out, Reed will start.

26
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,400
He will start the ball again.

27
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:05,400
He just received another injection back in the Knicks' clubhouse.

28
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,400
With all heads here at Madison Square Gardens turned toward the area in which the Knicks

29
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,400
and Lakers take the court.

30
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,400
The Knicks are warming up without Willis Reed, but Willis will play, although the crowd here

31
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,400
at the Gardens does not know it as of yet.

32
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,400
How effective Willis Reed will be remains to be seen.

33
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,400
Willis has taken constant treatment for the injured hip.

34
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,400
He says that he will be on the court no matter what.

35
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:39,400
And it figures tonight again to be an intensive, emotional night of basketball at Madison Square

36
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,400
Gardens.

37
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,400
For the Knicks and the Lakers, it comes down to this.

38
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,400
Who will win the final game of the season?

39
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,400
And on this one game alone, you can almost throw out all previous performance.

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,400
And now the crowd is rising.

41
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,400
Here comes Willis Reed.

42
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,400
Reed making his way from the dressing room area out of the court.

43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,400
And Willis is receiving a standing ovation.

44
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,400
Takes the ball off the foul line.

45
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,400
He jumps and it hits the rim and bounce to the right.

46
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,400
And now Willis will take part in the pregame warm-up.

47
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,400
This here is because Willis just did a couple.

48
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Now he takes some foul shots.

49
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,400
This is the first.

50
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,400
Looks over the back court.

51
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,400
Clips the second one in.

52
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,400
And the crowd roars.

53
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,400
And this will continue right through the pregame warm-up.

54
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:33,400
You may recall a professional debut of Bill Bradley several years back when he took the

55
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:41,400
court against the then St. Louis Hawks and received a rousing ovation during the course

56
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,400
of the warm-ups.

57
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,400
Every move was watched, every dribble was watched from the same.

58
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Taking place right here with Willis Reed as he hits another free throw.

59
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,400
So Willis will be in the starting lineup for the New York Knickerbockers.

60
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:02,400
And the roars that you hear in the background are responses to Willis hitting from the foul line.

61
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,400
As I started to mention, on this one game alone, you can throw out previous performance.

62
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Whoever wins tonight will be remembered.

63
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:18,400
When we look back years to now on the 1969-70 National Basketball Association season.

64
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,400
The cry of let's go Knicks in the background.

65
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,400
The officials tonight, once again, Andy Rudolph and Richie Powers.

66
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,400
Ed Rush is the alternate.

67
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,400
Taking a look back at this series.

68
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Game number one was played here at the Guiden April 24th.

69
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,400
The Knicks beat the Lakers 124-112.

70
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,400
Game number two at the guard, won by the Lakers 105-103.

71
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,400
Game three in LA, one and overtime by the Knicks.

72
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,400
That's the game that will remain famous for the 63-footer hit by Jerry West

73
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,400
at the end of the game tied in regulation time.

74
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,400
The Knicks won it in the overtime, 111-108.

75
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:06,400
And the Lakers came back last Friday night to tie the series at 2-2 by beating the Knicks in overtime, 121-115.

76
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,400
The miracle game here at Madison Square Garden last Monday with Willis re-entering his hit

77
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,400
at the eighth minute mark of quarter number one.

78
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:26,400
Willis was through for the night, but the Knicks, coming from 16 points back, rally to pull out a classic, 107-100.

79
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,400
And then May the 6th in LA, this past Wednesday night, Lakers one up the Knicks,

80
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:39,400
who played without Willis, red hole for them, feeling that Willis would be in better shape by sitting it out

81
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,400
and waiting for game number seven back here.

82
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,400
So the Knicks went with Nate Bowman, Bill Hoskett, Dave Stoworth against Will Chabalin.

83
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Willis sitting on the bench, and the Lakers won it 135-113.

84
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,400
So we are three and three.

85
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:03,400
Now John Cundin on the P.A., introducing the starting lineup, first for the Los Angeles Lakers.

86
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,400
At one floor, 12-year veteran out of Seattle University, Elgin Ballard.

87
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,400
At the other floor, a man who's done a tremendous job throughout the playoff, Keith Erickson.

88
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:20,400
The center, Will Chabalin, well averaging 23.7 against the Knicks over the first six games.

89
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,400
In the back court, the rookie out of seventh Illinois, Dick Garrett.

90
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,400
And at the other guard position, 10-year pro out of West Virginia,

91
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,400
averaging 31.8 during the playoff against the New York Knicks, Jerry West.

92
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,400
The coach of the ball club, Joe Meletti.

93
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:46,400
And now, the New York Knicks, weighted by a standing ovation number two of the night, and we haven't even begun.

94
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,400
At one floor, Dave Sabochik.

95
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,400
Dave averaging better than 18 against the Lakers in the playoff series.

96
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,400
At the other floor, Phil Bartlett.

97
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,400
Well, it's not kind of a disappointing series against the Lakers.

98
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,400
He's averaging 11.3.

99
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,400
The center, the captain of the ball club, Willis Greaves.

100
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,400
Willis with a 26.8 average against the Lakers.

101
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:18,400
And Willis is getting a tremendous standing ovation.

102
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,400
And John Coghoun waits before continuing with the introduction.

103
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,400
As the crowd continues to roar for one of three.

104
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,400
They are standing, and they are cheering.

105
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,400
And now, John Coghoun attempts the rest of the introductions.

106
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:42,400
At the other guard, Walt Frazier and Dick Barnett.

107
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,400
Coach of the New York Knicks, Rod Holton.

108
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,400
The officials, as we mentioned, Mandy Rudolph and Richie Powers.

109
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400
The cry of let's go Knicks.

110
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,400
The Knicks are on the court.

111
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,400
Now the Lakers break the huddle.

112
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,400
If the Knicks go on to win the World Championship.

113
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:07,400
By beating the Lakers tonight, our post-game broadcast, our post-game scoreboard show, will originate from the Knicks clubhouse.

114
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,400
If the Knicks are victorious.

115
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,400
Willis Reed and Wilp Shamelin at center court.

116
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,400
And Richie Powers with the basket ball.

117
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,400
Here's the tap.

118
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,400
Controlled by the Lakers.

119
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,400
Erickson cross court to Garrett.

120
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,400
Garrett along the left sideline.

121
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,400
On the corner it goes to Ballas.

122
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,400
Moves left side of the circle.

123
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,400
Top of the key.

124
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,400
Off the screen.

125
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,400
Jump shot.

126
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,400
Rebound.

127
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,400
Left raffle.

128
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,400
New York ball.

129
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,400
Down court to Frazier.

130
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,400
Guarded by West.

131
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,400
Left side of the lane.

132
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,400
Outside Reed.

133
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,400
Jumps from 20.

134
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,400
Quick two.

135
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,400
Lakers coming.

136
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,400
Here is West.

137
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Coming out of the back court against Barnett.

138
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,400
West across the mid-court line.

139
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,400
West to the right side.

140
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Inside sits Shamelin who's bumped as Bradley and Barnett go over to help out.

141
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,400
And a foul is called.

142
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,400
And Shamelin.

143
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,400
Little belied.

144
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,400
He's fouled by Bradley.

145
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,400
Willis looks to be hobbling around as he tests the leg.

146
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,400
And now heads down court.

147
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,400
Shamelin.

148
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,400
On the line for one.

149
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Open a minute of play.

150
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,400
Seventh and finale.

151
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,400
World Series of Basketball.

152
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:14,400
Foul shot missed but the rebound through the hands of Frazier taken by Shamelin.

153
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,400
Cross court.

154
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,400
Guard on the drive left.

155
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Spinning jump from 10 is missed.

156
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,400
The rebound battled around taken by Shamelin.

157
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,400
And he lays it up and in.

158
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,400
The next for complaining that it should have been a three-second violation.

159
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,400
No call to St. Bradley of the forecourt.

160
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,400
Down the lane.

161
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,400
The ball's knocked out of his hands.

162
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Recovered by Bradley.

163
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,400
Cross court.

164
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Shamelin.

165
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,400
Shamelin.

166
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Shamelin.

167
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,400
Shamelin.

168
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,400
Shamelin.

169
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,400
Shamelin.

170
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,400
Bradley.

171
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Cross court.

172
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,400
Ten at the ream and a foul is caught.

173
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,400
And Bradley.

174
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,400
We're going to the line.

175
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,400
Bradley lost the ball but recovered.

176
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,400
Try to hit Willis to his right.

177
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,400
Garrett commits the foul.

178
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,400
So that is the first team foul down the Lakers.

179
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,400
And Bradley will go to the line for one shot.

180
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,400
With tied at two.

181
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,400
On field goes by Reed and Shamelin.

182
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Bradley on the line for one.

183
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Flips up at the backboard.

184
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,400
Flips it up at the right hand and it's good.

185
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,400
So the next lead at two.

186
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,400
Shamelin.

187
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,400
Shamelin.

188
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,400
Shamelin.

189
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,400
Shamelin.

190
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,400
Shamelin.

191
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,400
Shamelin.

192
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,400
Shamelin.

193
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Shamelin.

194
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,400
Shamelin.

195
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,400
Shamelin.

196
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,400
Shamelin.

197
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,400
Shamelin.

198
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,400
Shamelin.

199
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,400
Shamelin.

200
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,900
on the right side. Got it by DeBusha, holds up the dribble. Inside, Chamberlain. They will

201
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:19,160
test lead right at the start. Chamberlain battles for position. Cannot find an opening.

202
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,360
Holds the ball, pumps it with the right hand, fires outside to Valda. At the top of the

203
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,360
key, he drives left. Backs it on DeBusha, turns, whistled, offensive foul. Valda commits the

204
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:36,360
foul. And the Knicks will come out of the backcourt. So the first test of the night

205
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,360
with Chamberlain going against Reed does not pay off for the Lakers. Chamberlain did not

206
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:47,360
get good position. Barnett to Reed on the forecourt. Right side from 20, jumps. Willis

207
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,360
will hit on his first two. 5 to 2, the Knicks on top. A minute and a half gone by and this

208
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,360
crowd is going wild right at the outset. West to the forecourt. Inside, Chamberlain. Holds

209
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,360
it high over the head. Tries to go cross court. Turns, one hand. It is no good but a hacking

210
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:08,360
foul is called on Reed. And Willis knew it, no argument on the court. Chamberlain will

211
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:16,360
go to the line for two shots. The road has improved from the foul line as the series

212
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:24,360
is full-down. But he is obviously not one of your better NBA foul students. First by

213
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:31,360
Chamberlain is Hudson. Knicks rated 5 to 2. Two field goals for Reed a foul shot by Bradley.

214
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Here's the second by Chamberlain. Rims to Baskin. Rebound DeBusha. New York ball. Down

215
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,360
court Bradley. Fast break from the Knicks. Bradley on the drive. Left side of the lane.

216
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,360
To Reed on the corner. Outside DeBusha. Cross court Frazier. Good movie. Drive. Stop. Hakes.

217
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,360
Jump. And it is no good. Rims to Baskin but Frazier is fouled. And the Knicks are working

218
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:54,360
the ball around very smartly. Erickson commits the foul. Frazier will go to the line for

219
00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:03,360
two shots. A minute and 50 gone by in this first quarter. Here's the first of two by

220
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:13,360
Walms. It is up and good. Knicks 6. Lakers 2. Second free throw by Frazier. Yes. 7-2.

221
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,360
Knicks on top. Garrett. Hooked by Frazier in the backcourt. Frazier goes for the ball.

222
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,360
As Garrett has trouble moving it across. Now moves across to midcourt line. Frazier all

223
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,360
over the ball. Knocked away. Recovered by Garrett. Loose to the corner. Hands to Erickson. The

224
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,360
Knicks are pressing early. Inside it goes as Erickson makes his move on Bradley. Hems off

225
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,360
to play. Jumpers short. Rebound. Frazier. New York ball. Down court. Bradley across

226
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:41,360
the midcourt line. Cross court. The push from one hand. Yes. The Knicks 9. Lakers 2. And

227
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:50,360
the Lakers call for time. The Knicks looking very sharp right at the start. And of course

228
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:57,360
we are very early with 9.42 remaining in this first quarter. The score. The New York Knicks

229
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:04,360
9. The Los Angeles Lakers 2 with the time up. Way back in. Lakers to the forecourt. Erickson

230
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,360
at the foul line. Cross court to Baddow. The crowd roars defense. Back the other way to

231
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:13,360
Erickson on the right side. Inside. Chaplin. He fakes. He turns. Soup shot is no good.

232
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,360
Rebound to Erickson. Hooked away but he recovers. Hooked the ball high over the head. Cross

233
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,360
court. Baddow who is open. A jump from 20 is good. And the Knicks lead by the score of

234
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,360
9-4. Lakers having their problems getting the ball to West. Barnett to the forecourt.

235
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Along the right sideline. He's got it by West. Holds the ball high over the head. Cross court

236
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,360
Frazier at center court. Midway between the sidelines. Top of the key to Bradley. He turns.

237
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:40,360
Jumps from 20 and hits. Knicks are having a real hot first quarter. They now lead 11-4.

238
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,360
Bradley with three points. Lakers to the forecourt. Erickson moves it across against Bradley.

239
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,360
Along the left sideline as Bradley goes for the ball. Erickson holds up. Tight defense

240
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:56,360
by the Knicks. Now he hands to West and a troubling violation is called and the Lakers do not like the call.

241
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:02,360
Erickson could not release the ball and he dragged the pivot foot. The Knicks take over on the turnover.

242
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,360
8-44 remaining first quarter. Knicks out of the back court. Frazier races to the top of the key.

243
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,360
Now holds up the dribble. Cross court. It goes to the Buescher. Inside. Barnett. He turns.

244
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,360
He fakes. The ball is knocked out of his hands by Baddow. Down court. Erickson. Erickson is caught by

245
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,360
Frazier. Holds up the dribble. Cross court. West down the lane. Running one-hander is good.

246
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,360
Jerry West driving shot down the lane. 11-6 the score. The Knicks on top. Frazier.

247
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,360
Holds it across against Garrett. He's along the left sideline with the left-hand dribble.

248
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,360
Turns it back. Beautiful fake. Facts the baseline. Jumps. It is blocked. What a foul to call.

249
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:41,360
Garrett had part of the ball and had part of Frazier's hand. And Garrett commits his second.

250
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:48,360
That is team foul number three on the Lakers. Knicks have been hit with two. And Frazier was out of the line for two shots.

251
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Walters two for two. From the foul line. Knicks with a five-point lead. Here's the first. It is off the front rim and drops through.

252
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:03,360
12-6. The Knicks have led all the way. Here's the second free throw. Good.

253
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:10,360
Knicks 13 and the Lakers 6. Ballot out of the back court against the Buescher with the right-hand dribble across the mid-court line.

254
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,360
Right there by the Buescher. Along the right sideline. He backs to the top of the key. Now cuts to his right.

255
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:23,360
Continues to the baseline. Does not have the shot. Outside to west. Great puck by Barnett. He fakes. Now jumps. Hits the front rim. Bounce off.

256
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:29,360
Rebound to Buescher. A hit to Barnett. Fast break for the Knicks once again. Barnett leaps to Buescher inside. Turn around one-handed.

257
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:35,360
Oh! Beautiful pass from Barnett to Buescher. And the Knicks lead it 15-6.

258
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:41,360
They try to blow the Lakers out of it. Really tough defense. They're running. Tapping the ball around well.

259
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:48,360
Now the Lakers in the forecourt. Inside. Shave-a-in. Has the ball knocked away and taken by Reed as the Buescher got his hand on the ball.

260
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Down court. Bradley along the right side of the forecourt. Hands to Buescher. He fakes. Now he tries. The ball's knocked out of his hands.

261
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,360
Picked up by the Buescher. In the corner by that smuggled ball. The Buescher takes it back. To Barnett.

262
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,360
The Knicks are massaging for the shot. Inside. Reed cross-court pass stolen by the Lakers. Down court west ahead of the field. He drives.

263
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:13,360
Shot is won by Frazier but Chamberlain with the follow. Dunsit. Frazier with the pretty block. But Chamberlain right behind him.

264
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:20,360
Ground in the play. 15-8. Mixed out top. Pass to Reed at the high post. Willis from the foul line now goes cross-court to Bradley.

265
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,360
Comes around the pick. Drive. Pass. Chamberlain underhands a rebound.

266
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:33,360
Play made by Bradley. And the Knicks lead at 17-8. 6.45 remaining in this first quarter. Garrett across the mid-court line.

267
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:40,360
Garrett guarded tightly by Frazier. On the right side to Barlow. Puts it on the floor. Drives left off the pick from the foul line.

268
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:46,360
He jumps and hits. Elgin Barlow with the second field goal. 17-10. Mixed by Seven.

269
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:54,360
DeBusher to the far court. DeBusher to the top of the key. Cuts to his right off the pick. Picked up on the switch by Erickson. One bounce to Bradley.

270
00:16:54,360 --> 00:17:00,360
Drives to the baseline. Does not have the shot. Cross-court bonnet. Jumper from 20. Hits the rim. Bounds off. Rebound is batted around.

271
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:09,360
Whips it on the play and a foul is called. It is a loose ball foul on the Knicks. And the Lakers will come out of the backhawks.

272
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:18,360
Down on Reeve. That is Willis' second. Team foul number three on the Knicks. Mixed by Seven. West to the forecourt.

273
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:25,360
Bumbles the ball. Looses to DeBusher. Across the mid-court line. Cross-court or toes to Barlow. Jumps from the side.

274
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:30,360
It is no good. It rims the basket. The rebound is grabbed by Frazier. Good hustle. He turns. Jumps.

275
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:39,360
15 feet on left side. Frazier hitting. As he hustled after that loose ball. That converted 19-10. The Knicks on top. Garrett on the drive.

276
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:46,360
Across the length. Pulls up for the jumper. That is around. It drops through. Garrett cutting to his left. 19-12 the score.

277
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:52,360
Knicks on top. Bradley to the forecourt. He spins on Erickson. Outside to Busher. Off the pick. One hand. Hits.

278
00:17:52,360 --> 00:18:00,360
21-12. Redhawks shooting by the Knicks here in the first quarter. Five and a half romantic of the quarter. Garrett moves it across with the right hand dribble.

279
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:07,360
Cross-court pass to Erickson. Hands to West. West pulls to his right. To the baseline. He turns and jumps. It is no good. Rebound.

280
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:14,360
Battle around. Taken by Erickson. Short jump. Good. Erickson 10 feet on right side.

281
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:22,360
This first field goal. 21-14 the score. Knicks by 7. Frazier to the forecourt. Nears field by Garrett. Now Frazier behind the back dribble.

282
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:30,360
He drives west. Turns and jumps. And hits. And he is fouled. Hits at the top. And Clarence to Knicks number 3.

283
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:45,360
That is field foul number 4 on the Lakers. And Frazier will go to the line to try for the three point play. Frazier now with 8 points. Foul shot good.

284
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:54,360
And the Knicks lead it 24-14. Knicks lead it the ball game by the Knicks. 4.55 remaining. First quarter. West against Barnett.

285
00:18:54,360 --> 00:19:00,360
Closing across the mid-court line with the right hand dribble. Along the left sideline. Now he cuts to his right. Backs in. Pulls the bucket.

286
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:09,360
Spins away. Fakes and jumps. And hits as he banks it in. Field goal number 2 for West. 24-16 the score. Knicks on top. New York ball.

287
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:16,360
Caboosha. Right side. Caboosha moves to the right side of the circle. One bouncer. So Bradley back to the basket. Outside to Reed for a jumper that hits the rim.

288
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:24,360
Bounce out. Rebounded by Chamberlain in the lane. Hands to Garrett. He hands to West. West out of the back court against Barnett. Almost lost the dribble.

289
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:29,360
Now the Lakers can shed that Barnett. Pushed him into the back court. West still with the ball. He tried. And stops. From 15 a jumper.

290
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:37,360
Is around and out. Rebound by Reed. Too much English on the basketball. Down court Frazier. Across the mid-court line. Cuts to his left.

291
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:47,360
Garrett playing with the free fouls. Now stops and jumps. West. Frazier is having a tremendous first quarter. His third field goal. He has 11 points.

292
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:55,360
6 by 10. 26-16. And of course Garrett must be careful with the free personal fouls. Laker ball inside Chamberlain. Bombs the ball in the right hand.

293
00:19:55,360 --> 00:20:02,360
Puts it on the floor. Turns. Jumps. No good. Rebound Frazier. Out of the back court on the fast break once again. Frazier to the top of the key.

294
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:09,360
On the left side the busher. From 20. Jumper. No good. Rebound. Flatted around. Taken by Bradley. Outside. Flatted off the screen. Jumps. Yes!

295
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:20,360
28-15. And here come the Lakers out of the back court with 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Remaining in quarter number 1.

296
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:34,360
Baylor to the right side of the lane. Baylor to the top of the key. Now holds up the dribble. We get a whistle. And Richie Powers makes the call. Foul against the Knicks.

297
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:46,360
The busher committed the foul. That is his first, fourth team foul on the Knicks. And it's not clear to play. Apparently the busher caught on a switch with West.

298
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:54,360
Pushed him to West. We're going to the line. Here's the foul shot. It is good. And the Knicks now lead it 28-17. 3 minutes and 15 seconds.

299
00:20:54,360 --> 00:21:00,360
Remaining in this first quarter. It should be interesting to see the shooting percentages in the first quarter by the Knicks.

300
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:06,360
Frazier in the fourth. On the left side the busher. He sets. It's not cute. He climbs right. He sets the foul on the left side. Cut to his left off the pick.

301
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:13,360
At the baseline post. The read outside. Bradley. One hand foul. Is short. Rebound. Garret. Garret holds the ball high over the head.

302
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:21,360
Then flips it across court to Erickson. The fans folding their court. Garret walks in the forecourt to Baller. On the right side. Inside to Chamberlain.

303
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:29,360
Working against Reed. He has room. Now he turns. Scoop shot is no good. And the rebound is taken by the busher. Ahead to Frazier. A 3 on 3 to Bradley.

304
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:32,360
Top of the key. Pulls up for the jumper. That is Huck.

305
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:45,360
80-17. Knicks on top. 2 and a half minutes. Relating on the first quarter. West across the mid-court line. Bradley with 7 points. West to the left side. Lottie. Double team spins away for the jump. That's good.

306
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:51,360
30-19. And now the Knicks call for time. With 2 minutes and 19 seconds.

307
00:21:51,360 --> 00:22:04,360

Nick Stewart not likes the call. That's...no, hold it. Nick's holding it the other way. Let's see. Mendy Rudolph says the other way. And it'll be Nick's ball coming out of the back court. And I did not get that call. Now it wasn't a loose ball foul. Apparently Heston travels. So the Knicks to the forecourt. Forward top of the key against Heston.

382
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:54,360
Heston holds up the dribble. Hands to Brasier. Five left. Is the ball knocked away but he is fouled by Egan. And this is a very tough defensive assignment for Johnny Egan. Who is listed at six foot but maybe five-eleven. And Brasier who goes six-three-six-four.

383
00:40:54,360 --> 00:41:12,360
Brasier puts Garrett on the bench with three personal fouls. One shot for Brasier coming up. Brasier looking for point number 19.

West along the left side out of the forecourt. Inside Chamberlain. Chamberlain puts it on the floor. Turns. Jumps. It is no good but a foul is called. And the foul is against Reed. Red hole has been claiming that Chamberlain bumped Reed. The matter is number three on Willis.

385
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:56,360
Three-oh-five remaining in the second quarter. Fourteen foul on the next. And now Nate Bowman gets set to report it. And the fans are on their feet. Willis-Reed receives a standing ovation.

386
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:16,360
Willis playing with the bad hit. Took a shot before the game. And Chamberlain's push does not hit anything. Wait a moment. A violation is called. Apparently the mix. Too many men on the court.

387
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:36,360
A few coming but it really does not matter. The second foul is short. Bowman has come on to Reed. Fowler now comes on. Replacing Pressman. And Pressman is about to score. Chamberlain is ultra-six in the par line. Third attempt missed.

On the Lakers. Hips they caught it the other way. Offensive foul on Stowell. And Stowell is trying to set up a pick. But he was moving. As he tried to set Kaz free. So the Lakers take over. 250 for that second quarter. West to the fourth. Next rate is 61-37. Inside Chamberlain. He's quick from behind by Bowman. And Chamberlain will go on the line for two shots because the Knicks are now over the foul limit. It's wild. It's elegant. It is Cougar for 1970.

00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:39,360

The Knicks work the ball very slowly. The Knicks a minute and 40 away from the World Championship driving shot by Barnett is good but it will not count. A minute and 40 away in playing time. As Egan commits the foul.

542
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:30,360
And the Knicks will go to the foul line. The fans standing a combination of it. All over now and we're number one. Barnett to the line. 14 foul on the Lakers. Foul shot is good. 1.195. A minute and 38 remaining in the game and here come the Knicks out of the back court.

543
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:44,360
The Lakers out of the back court. Egan across the mid-court line. Pass inside. Battled away by Bradley. Taken by Frazier across the mid-court line. Behind the back dribble to the top of the key. He stops. Cross court Barnett. Drive left. Down the lane running one hander is no good.

544
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:58,360
And the rebound to Haskell. Fires down court and out of bounds. So the Knicks will come out of the back court. A minute and 19 remaining. They lead it 1.1195. Following the ball again.

545
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:14,360
We will be in the New York Knicks clubhouse on the small board show with the victory celebration and left by some. There it goes. The Lakers pull this one out. DeBusher to the top of the key. DeBusher left sideline. Off the pick from Bowman.

546
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:34,360
DeBusher continues the dribble. DeBusher tries for the corner. Stopped and one handed. Short. Rebound. Chamberlain. Down court left. Ahead of the field to Hest and he drives and lays it in. 1.1197. 55 seconds to the championship as DeBusher moves to the mid-court line. DeBusher cross courts to Bradley.

547
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:50,360
Holds them out on the forecourt. 45 seconds to the next first world championship. Bradley eats up the clock and on the right sideline with the dribbling exhibition against Pespat. Bradley drives right side of the circle. He jumps. Hits the back of the rim. Bounce left. Rebound to DeBusher.

548
01:26:50,360 --> 01:27:08,360
Cross court. 30 seconds. Outside Bradley. Cross court to Busher. Outside Frazier. We have 25 seconds to the championship. Outside Bradley. Look at the clock. Center court. Frazier is the crowd on his feet roaring. Frazier top of the key. Outside to Busher. In the corner Frazier. He drives.

549
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:26,360
Come on it. Yes. 12 seconds remaining. 1.1397. Here come the Lakers out of the back court. The Knicks. Banchers up on his feet. Jumping as Weston foul on the forecourt. Red Wholeson has to hold back some of his players. The Knicks are hugging each other on the bench.

550
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:42,360
Ready from the Mesonite area here at Madison Square Garden as West gets set to take his foul shot. 8 seconds remaining in the ball game. It is Bedlam here at Madison Square Garden. The first by West is good.

551
01:27:42,360 --> 01:28:06,360
Banchers for second. It is good. 1.1399. The Knicks sent by the bottom of the back court. Cross court to Busher. 5 seconds. Busher holds the ball. 3 seconds. Busher holds the ball. 2 seconds. Busher holds the ball. That is it. The New York Knickerbockers have won the 1969-70 World Championship of Basketball. They are being farmed as they head to the dressing room.

552
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:28,360
The New York Knicks are the world champions in a devastating ruck. In a surprising ruck. As the Northside Little Flakers and the Knicks are having their problems getting to the dressing room. The final score. The Knicks. 113 and the Lakers.

553
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:48,360
If we can break it down to just a couple of sentences it would have to be the Knicks went out and won a ball game. They have to win. Once again they went out and they murdered the L.A. Lakers. Right from the start.

554
01:28:48,360 --> 01:29:12,360
Led by Walt Frazier the roar for the announcement by John Condon on the PA that Frazier not only scored 36 points but picked up 19 assists which ties the record that was previously held by himself by Oscar Robertson for most assists in a playoff game.

555
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:31,360
John Condon makes it official here at the Garden by labeling the Knicks the world champions. New York Knickerbockers. Knicks winning it 113-99. Quick recap of the scoring and then we'll have to hustle down to the locker room. The post game scoreboard show will originate from the New York Knicks clubhouse.

556
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:45,360
The high man Walt Frazier with 36. Nick Farnett with 21. Dave DeBusha with 18. Bill Bradley with 17. Willow Strait with 4. Kazzie Russell has 2. Mike Reardon 5. Dave Stalworth 4. Nate Bowman has 6.

557
01:29:45,360 --> 01:30:02,360
For the Lakers the high man Jerry West who was held in check found himself forcing shots throughout the second half and foul trouble right throughout. West finished with 28. Baylor had 19. Erickson 14. Schaebel had 21 and won for 11 from the foul out. Garrett had 8.

558
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:22,360
The high man has 3 points. Egan did not score and has to add a total of 6 points. 113-99 the Knicks take the world series of basketball in 7.

559
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:41,360
The homeowner's love to you my soft host Dr. Pat Desson. The legend of all ages. The Lakers 113-99 and as you might expect today's medley. Here in the locker room we'll try to talk to as many Knicks players as possible and kick things off with Mike Reardon.

560
01:30:41,360 --> 01:31:07,360
Mike first of all congratulations. Thanks very much. I tell you I don't think anybody in the house expected it to be as devastating a route as it turned out to be. Neither do we. We figured it would be a tough game in our hands but we came out playing defense from the start and carried this right over into the second half. It was an inspirational presence even hypothermic even more so it's a great feeling.

561
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:15,360
I thought you did a tremendous job on West. In fact both you and Barnett are covering West making it almost impossible for them to get any shots off.

562
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:27,360
We're trying to play him without the ball a lot and harass him as much as possible. We got a lot of help with double teaming so we did the best we could even though he did get 28. It's still a lot of satisfaction to keep him under 30.

563
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:30,360
28 is alright. Anything under 30 is alright.

564
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,360
Anytime he's not shooting the ball is a plus for us.

565
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:46,360
Mike again congratulations. Thank you for coming by. Thank you very much. Mike Reardon one of the better men of the New York Knicks and out of Ohio State. Phil Hopske. Bill congratulations to you.

566
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:51,360
Thank you very much, Marv. This is really an emotional experience but it was a great year.

567
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:57,360
Now as one who has been a part of the United States Olympic Championship how would you relate the two?

568
01:31:57,360 --> 01:32:03,360
Oh this is completely different. The Olympics, no champagne at the Olympics. It's too clean.

569
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:04,360
True, true.

570
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:17,360
No but it's great. I tell you I've really been fortunate in my career. Donnie and I were talking in high school and college. The Olympics are now here in New York in my second year and I'm telling you it makes the entire year worthwhile.

571
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:23,360
Of course maybe you want to play more at times but winning the championship was the big thing and I thought it felt fabulous.

572
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:36,360
We had Jim O'Brien the sports writer of the New York Post on at halftime and Jim was talking about the tremendous emotional effect brought forth by the crowd and it was really evident tonight.

573
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:45,360
I think it was definitely. I think they did such a great job to get Willis up for the game. All that cheering and the ovations that he received for just coming out and making the effort.

574
01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:57,360
I think it psyched us up and I know it psyched Willis up to the point where he thought he had to play. He was going to anyway but I think it just made him realize to the fullest extent that he would rather die than miss this game tonight.

575
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:06,360
That's just the type of thing it was. The fans have been great to us all year and I really think they had a definite effect on this series and especially the Baltimore series.

576
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:09,360
Bill thank you very much and again congratulations.

577
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:10,360
Thank you Marv very much.

578
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:16,360
Bill Husket of the New York Knicks and here is one of the key men behind the Knicks drive.

579
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:24,360
The trainer of the Knicks Danny Whelan who is sustaining some body checks left and right as he tries to get into our little corner.

580
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:26,360
Danny congratulations to you.

581
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:31,360
Thank you Marv. This is quite a thrill. It's the biggest thrill of my life.

582
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:37,360
Danny previously was the trainer for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Anything like this in Pittsburgh?

583
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:43,360
It was never like this Marv believe me. This is the biggest city in the world and everything is big here tonight. Everything.

584
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:53,360
You were probably as close to Willis and the injury situation as anybody was. What were your thoughts before the ball came? Did you think that he had a chance to play it off?

585
01:33:53,360 --> 01:34:02,360
Well truthfully Marv after the game the other night in Los Angeles he came back with us on the airplane right after the game. It was just Willis, Dr. Park and myself.

586
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:11,360
And after we arrived in New York Willis and I came to the garden and we worked for three hours.

587
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:15,360
And when I went home yesterday I was sure he was going to play tonight.

588
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:22,360
Well Willis said if he had to hobble around on one knee no question about it. He was going to play basketball which has got to do a lot for the club.

589
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:28,360
That's right. Willis' appearance on the court this evening won us the ball again. There's no question about it.

590
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:32,360
Danny thank you for coming by and I know you want to get back to the celebration.

591
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:33,360
Thank you Marv.

592
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:44,360
Danny Whalen the trainer of the New York Knickerbockers. For those of you who may have just tuned in this is Marv Albert speaking from the jubilant Knickerbocker locker room.

593
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:53,360
The next of the world champions of basketball. They defeated the Lakers at the garden this evening 113 tonight at eye to take it in game number seven.

594
01:34:53,360 --> 01:35:01,360
And it will mean that the players will split up $118,000. And now the fans start to sense victory.

595
01:35:01,360 --> 01:35:15,360
As Bradley puts one up DeBusha gets the ball out to Barnett. Barnett Bradley DeBusha and just to floor it on they have finished the first team all year.

596
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:25,360
And they're just moving it around. Frazier has it. DeBusha DeFrazier beautiful teamwork.

597
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:53,360
Jerry West is fouled by Nate Bowman. And there are two Laker players who we know are frustrated. Elton Baylor who has tried seven times and this man a superstar Jerry West six tries to no avail.

598
01:35:53,360 --> 01:36:05,360
So with eight seconds to go it's 113 to 98. And it's heads off to the New York Knickerbockers defense.

599
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:27,360
And now four seconds three two one we have a new NBA champion. 24 long years.

600
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:40,360
And I know that Mr. Ned Irish who started college doubleheaders to get the basketball interest going in New York in the mid 30s then started the Knickerbockers and he and Irving Mitchell fell.

601
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:57,360
Elvin Kuperman and all of them here they must be delighted.
