1971 NBA All-Star Game highlights

[@MarquisdeSuave]

Jesus Christ was Jabbar magnificent in the early days. I mean he was always great, but when he was a kid and still had good legs he was 7-2 with an insane vertical. Outside of Wilt nobody had that kind of athletic ability at that position.

[@erwinjoseph1600]

@slip satch so true!

[@senseichess8688]

Your right and guys liked bird and Jordan never had to deal with Kareem in his prime...kareem was doing big things in pro ball when magic was a kid

[@oldsensei8350]

Amen you said a mouth full....kareem in his prime was stunning i saw much of his whole 20 year career live on tv and in person

[@forestgump8357]

Exactly, Kareem in his prime was a supreme athlete. In his older age he was a skilled tactician of a player, but seeing him here, he was a beast.

[@carseye1219]

Lenny Wilkens was such a good coach that people forget how good a player he was. The Van Arsdales both had that 1950s Indiana schoolboy jump shot. Oscar was so smooth.

[@jingqi9106]

The game was so different then with no 3 point line and much tighter rules for the offense. It was such a great era though and was fun to watch.

[@oldsensei8350]

Yes sir

[@master-kq3nw]

great highlights, good old 70s

[@oldsensei8350]

The 70s were a great nba period

[@master-kq3nw]

@@oldsensei8350 fantastic old school good players

[@Ariamaluum]

Toward the end, I liked how Lew (Kareem) set an offensive screen by using his shoulder while leaning low. I wonder if that has been outlawed?

[@oldsensei8350]

I watched about a million games it seems like in the 1970s NBA and even some ABA and of course a lot after the merger and the two guys that I always remember being the most consistent and effective always were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and John Havlicek

[@marcconnelly5652]

I didn't like when Bird and Magic came in the league.i thought it ruined the mystique of the 70s .I think Geoff Petrie was as great as pistol Pete and Paul westphal and Jerry west.he was the master of the spin dribble and he won co rookie of the year with Dave cowens.but he had knee injuries

[@ethelroast9671]

​@@marcconnelly5652 LOL

[@massvt3821]

The East played very well, especially considering that they were at a height disadvantage. Lots of points from Lou Hudson and Havlicek..

[@oldsensei8350]

Yes...hondo was always ready to go...mr consistency

[@forestgump8357]

Havlicek was a quick, fast athlete on the court. Wilkins was as smooth as silk.

[@McKoosa]

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@oldsensei8350]

You were a fine player yourself joe

[@bjmartin1215]

Frazier, Monroe, Debusschere, Reed, Lucas! 💙 🧡 🏀. To God be the Glory 🙌🏽🙌🏻🙌🏿

[@makutaman2007]

Great!

[@abevillanueva1974]

A REAL game that was played hard on both sides of the ball...not like today's crap!

[@OneHundredPoints]

I agree.

[@forestgump8357]

Gotta agree. They played tighter D in a freaking allstar game here than they do in regular season games today. Especially on the perimeter.

[@rwerner5568]

I was there!

[@davesmith8877]

The All State uniforms look like the University of Maryland uniforms of the early-mid 70s.

[@sdthundertv]

Why in the world did they not foul when down 1 with the shot clock essentially shut off?!

[@Noname-ni1dy]

Wish we still this style of basketball. 3 point line and terrible officiating have ruined the game.

[@jingqi9106]

Because of the 3 point line and super relaxed rules for the offense, the modern NBA is a different game today.

[@master-kq3nw]

No 3 point line 1971
