1981 NBA Finals - Boston vs Houston - Game 6 Best Plays

[@meghanmaeve]

Listening to the Celtics post game comments I can't help but think what a class bunch of guys. Much humility and a lot of tough guys on that team. Great team champs!

[@danfrey]

love the prayer from coach Fitch.

[@timatkinson9291]

Great series. Great win for Boston!!!

[@Master4999]

Bill Fitch thanking Jesus. Wowzers.

[@garrettmgrantham]

Wholly appropriate.

[@sbrooks904]

Different times

[@richardbeatty8793]

no way they are winning this game without mr. parish--underrated player

[@liammcknight680]

Players that would be centers in the 80s and should be now: Garnett, Duncan, amare, Monroe, Drummond, boogie, Elton brand, horford, Aldridge, al Jefferson, both gasols, unibrow, Dirk, bosh, basically anyone that's 6'10 or above or if they had a legit inside dominance to em

[@Milordvega]

Holy shit, because of that TV difficulty at 11:59, the station MISSED showing Larry Bird's game-sealing three-pointer?!

[@crazydiamond7480]

Some young on the team and some old some from major schools some from UNC Charlotte way to go Cedrick Maxwell! Chief Larry Kevin foundations for success .

[@tubenachos]

Rick Barry interviewing? Cool

[@spinner9057]

+tubenachos Should've waited until the celebration was over to do the interviews haha.

[@thinkcivil1627]

In the Eastern Conference finals (which was the better series) the Celtics had to deal with Dawkins in the middle and against Houston they had Moses Malone. Two of the top physical centers in NBA history. Maxwell's role on the team changed over the next few years to more of a defensive player. That shows you how deep the Celtics were during the 80s.

[@CLewey44]

Bird robbed of the Finals MVP that year. Should be retroactively changed.

[@Forever_Laura]

IDK, Cornbread Maxwell tackling that old man in the stands during the Philly ECF series was pretty epic. I know that wasn't in the finals but he should at least get a trophy for that move!

Glad that he gave glory to Jesus. He is the one that deserves the praise

[@jaredmiller9351]

Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord

[@jaredmiller9351]

Okay and I'll respect that but as far as I'm concerned he's my Lord. If you'd like to know more I'd be happy to tell you.

[@thespaceram2879]

+Darkzz Lord if Jesus Christ isn't your Lord you are going to sadly lament it someday unless you repent in time by taking it back. The wicked unrepentant and other disbelievers unfortunately end up in the lake of fire and brimstone. which it is hell. the second death. there is no rest there at all. it is horrible torment there for all eternity. Lord Jesus Christ is the only one that can save us from ending up there. We got to willingly accept Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and repent from our sins in His name. While we still can before we pass away. After we pass away we can't change our decision.

[@lloydkline6946]

Mose Malone, unstoppable in the pant area of the basket 🧺 late 1970& early 1980s, owned the backboard

[@patmcstuff671]

Tiny in his prime was one of the best guards in nba

[@master-kq3nw]

Boston 1981 was strong team

[@foxmccloud7055]

After this video, the NBA made the breakaway goal the only basket allowed in the league.

[@Stgfre]

One of the best Boston Celtics team.

[@bellsboy]

how about the full game and the 86 finals too if u can...thanks.

I'm no longer uploading full games because of KZbin's copyright rules bullshit.

[@cindyknudson2715]

@@g3arma5ter ☹️ Maybe you could try again to post these as full games? As educational videos? Or with small breaks for "station identification" between qtrs or something to have "additional content" on the videos. Seeing the full game is such a great experience. Thank you for posting this video. Loved it 👍

[@cindyknudson2715]

Getting moments in the media obviously wasn't their first priority. 😀 Especially when they just wanted to celebrate their victory together.

[@rjeeemilyzaannrichardjhon438]

Magic is 20 year old in 1980 while Bird is 20 in 1981

[@cindyknudson2715]

Bird was 24 in the 1981 season. Birthday: *December* 7, 1956. Magic's birthday is August 14, 1959.

[@karl6852]

Porzingis should be a center, Ibaka too

The Rockets would not win a championship for another 13 years.

[@rap3208]

This was 1981, they won in 84 and 86 too.

[@arnoldgarzajr1164]

How many times did Houston go to the NBA Finals in the 80's?

[@arnoldgarzajr1164]

​@@rap3208So Houston went to 3 NBA Finals in the 80's?I thought they only went to 2 NBA Finals 🤔

[@beedub93]

Postgame prayer - the horror of it all. Bill Fitch wouldn’t have been canceled, he would have been tarred and feathered today.

[@akbar8477]

I did not see Houston with any chance to win they did not seem that good as a team. Robert Reed, Billy Paulz, Henderson... A rag tag bunch... Malone, however! Gritty, but that is not going to work against this Celtic team. I watched a little bit but lost interest. Whoever plays the Nuggets it will be a game like this. Yawn.

[@rap3208]

The celtics were just just all Bird, maxwell and Tiny. Parish was just a new addition and was just regaining his inspiration abck, before that he was uninspired and lazy. mchale was a rookie and was just used as substitute.

[@tyrone1544]

Rick Robby selected ahead of Larry bird in the draft. You know that funny.

[@Gregory-sm9pf]

Tyrone, Robey was not in Birds draft class, you have Bidenitis, it's a brain evaporating virus

[@cindyknudson2715]

Not really. Every team knew that Bird was going to stay in college for his senior year and graduate. Most teams couldn't afford to pick a player that wouldn't help them immediately. The Celtics had the 6th pick in the first round and took the gamble. Bird could just as easily been the first pick if he wasn't staying at ISU. I think it was a phenomenal decision on his part.

[@tyrone1544]

I did not see Dr. j. I guess he must have been hurt in this game. Dr. J all time greatest! Moses Malone also all time greatest.

[@gl6996]

@tyrone1544 Dr. J never played for Houston. In 1982, Moses Malone was traded to the 76ers. That's when they became teammates 👍🏾

[@Gregory-sm9pf]

Yeah you didn't see him because,,,, he didn't play for Houston
