Nicholson is a legend. He has been watching NBA games since forever.

Many centuries ago, before fire was invented. I was once playing basketball, and an older gentleman told me I reminded him of Norm Nixon. I was so proud of that moment I proceeded to miss every shot I took afterwards😂😂😂😂 Thank you so much for posting these classics👏👏👏👏

Interesting about the court. This was the first year that the Clippers were in Los Angeles. This court, at the LA Sports Arena, was only used for the Clippers during their first season in LA. The next year, they had a totally different court and design. But if you notice here, the center court reads; “LA Sports Arena,“ in blue and white coloring. This is the exact same color scheme that the Lakers used when they played at the LA Sports Arena after moving from Minneapolis, and before moving to The Forum. This court is the original Los Angeles Lakers basketball Court that they kept at the LA Sports Arena after the Lakers moved out, and before the Clippers moved in from San Diego

Wow, interesting observation! But I think based on the NBA 2k court and photos I've seen online, the Lakers had the center court logo in blue and red (instead of white here) and the sidelines as blue. Also, blue and white were part of the Clippers colors at the time. I think their first year at the LA Sports Arena, they modified the colours of the original Lakers court to make it uniformly red, and retained the original center court design. Then the next year they changed the center court logo.

[@uncletony6210]

The players almost needed flashlights playing at the old Sports Arena.

The goat Michael Jeffrey Jordan

[@springfieldbearpatrol2937]

With a name like Catchings you better take care of the incoming passes....

[@springfieldbearpatrol2937]

Huh. I would have thought that Caldwell Jones would win the tip over Walton.
