I was sixteen years old watching this and had already been a Lakers fan since 1972 at that point. Love this era for the basketball played and my own selfish nostalgia. Kobe's Dad being out there adds more surreality to this great upload that still has me entranced hours later. Thank you Sir from the bottom of my heart. Luka's a Laker. Maaaaaan!

Hot Rod was a pioneer of the dunk

Thanks for the upload . By any chance would you have lakers vs celtics in LA 1980?

[@RareNBAFootage]

If referring to the 1979-80 season, the earliest I have is a Lakers-Celtics game from December 28, 1979.

[@allprofits4you]

Ok cool that's the one I'm referring to that game was in la correct? Thanks dude.

[@allprofits4you]

Do you have the actual game or just a clip I couldnt find it. thanks.

[@RareNBAFootage]

The game in entirety and you can’t find it because I haven’t uploaded it yet

[@allprofits4you]

@@RareNBAFootage Ok Ill be looking forward to it thanks for the response.

I don't think San Diego will ever get another NBA franchise (probably not an NFL one either) after losing both the Rockets to Houston and the Clippers to L.A.

I once heard Bill Walton blame himself for the failure of NBA basketball in San Diego
