Bernard King (The King of New York) NBA Legends

Bernard King was one of the biggest offensive threats ever born and raised in Brooklyn NY BK was the last player behind Wilt to score 50 points in back to back games he had that baseline turn around that was automatic and a bunch of other moves that he use to kill dudes with he averaged 24.2 pts 9.5 rebs his rookie season led the league in 85 with 32.9 pts then had the injury grinded to get back to allstar form...BK was a beast Hall of Famer and should've been without question a the top 50 player besides Bird,LeBron,and Nique no wing was as dominate offensively in the history of the game

Greatest pure scorer I've ever seen. What a machine. Unstoppable.

[@thoragami3238]

Had to watch this after Brunson just broke Bernards playoff scoring high. I was there when King returned to the court after his injury. He was as smooth as they come.

[@akumawani]

in order to really appreciate bernard king you have to have seen him for an entire game- seen how he got those points and when he was getting them. seen how bad and how many people wanted to stop him- he was a marked man every night- they knew he was coming and they still couldn't stop him... quickest release in nba history and a perpetual snarl on his grill- he was a monster.

[@duskopopov77]

In his prime, He was the greatest small forward I've ever seen in watching basketball over fifty yrs....Period!

[@Dowsker]

I agree as long as you consider Bird a power forward. He was special!

[@thenobleone-3384]

He was a tough Basketball player he played through a lot of injuries he never played in the NBA Finals but his stats put him in the Hall of Fame

[@leonardwest2623]

Bernard King was the truth!!!

[@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl]

Best high school player I have ever seen and its not even close!

[@williamtyler727]

BK was the shit. Some people WANTED to STOP HIM but COULDN’T- HE WAS THAT GOOD, PERIOD. BROOKLYN BABY!!!!!!!!!

[@morriswilburn9858]

Incredible.

[@tamaku2903]

This man was scored 49 pts with dislocated fingers on both hands and he dropped 50 on San Antonio then dropped 50 on Dallas kids growing up in the 70's and 80's kids wasn't use to seeing someone do that and then he came back 6 years later after his injuries at the age of 34 and he became an allstar then his best performance of his career was against the Chicago bulls and prime Jordan in their season opener in 1991 and he completely dismantled them by dropping 40 pts plus Scotty Pippen fouled out plus BK lead the Washington Bullets to the victory it was the most incredible thing i ever seen and not only that he was getting better in his early 30's until his body gave out for the final time but it was awesome watching him play. #Legendary

[@buckweezy1942]

I saw that game.....classic duel💯

[@jimmysteene1187]

I am Boston guy but I have so much respect for Bernard king he was so clutch I hated the Knicks. He was a beast and when he hurt his knee and people gave up on on him he came back even better with the Knicks and was in 84 him and I T went back forth against Detroit. And when he had 51 points with wash just a fucking legend even though he. Was. From NY lol and I hated when we played just tough player but nothing but class

[@FacePCGaming]

Jimmy Steene I'm from NY but i grew up a Celtic fan myself but BK was a problem i feel he's over looked

[@russelturner5771]

The Knicks definitely did him dirty.

[@xaviervega468]

Great vid for a a very underappreciated ball player.

[@alb3285]

Great player and thx for bringing back when I loved Basketball. D.o.b. 1959

[@steviejoeboykin3381]

All he ever did was deliver!!!

[@thenobleone-3384]

I can remember crying when I didn't make my junior Basketball team in High School. It was never meant for me to play in the NBA. God had other ideas I discovered Boxing when I was 16. And I fell in love with the sport

[@thenobleone-3384]

Bernard is a top 10 Knicks player of all time. I'm not from N.Y. but I like his style of play. He was a small forward

[@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl]

Top 10 are you serious,How about number 3!

[@williewaset]

So quick with the release! Great watching him with the Warriors.

[@thenobleone-3384]

Love Red Auerbach I learned so much about Basketball growing up from him. A legend coach of Basketball

[@wobblertv8083]

My favourite player in the early to mid 80s

[@travisgrogan1554]

BK from BK . BROOKLYN ALL DAY

[@terrenceliburd8655]

23 spots on the court to score from People see baseline to baseline and the top of the key. I see grids.

[@gregoryevans8179]

BK was a beast. Right up there with Bird, and Dr J as the best small forward at that time.

[@bigeman25]

For the Brothers and Sisters from the Fort, we know Bernard is from the 'FAR SIDE'. Peace.

[@michaelhoffman5486]

well im from the rock aways and growing up from debus to willis to bernard knicks meant everything to me

[@DeCurtaRican]

Might have been a lock for all-time top-50? Nah! He might have been in the GOAT conversation.

[@DeCurtaRican]

Greatest pure scorer ever, and that’s saying something in a league that had guys like: Michael Jordan Julius Irving George Gervin Elgin Baylor Larry Bird Earl “The Pearl” Monroe Kobe Bryant Tracy McGrady Alex English Bob McAdoo Jamaal Wilkes Jerry West Tim Duncan Rick Barry Kiki Vandiweigh Kelly Tripuka Scorers have moves. Those guys all had moves, but none of them were like Bernard King. No matter what defenders did to him, he could find a way to score…guys would be hanging all on him and he would embarrass them three at a time in many instances.

[@chadchesney3858]

The Knicks were just CRAZY to let BK leave. Imagine if they would have had Bernard on those early 90’s Knick teams. I mean in 90,91 or 92. Could have maybe gotten them past Chicago. How could the Knicks let him leave!?!? 🤷‍♂️

[@ryleerichter804]

Bernard King crawled so Lebron James could walk 💯💯🖤🐐

[@DeCurtaRican]

LeBron is more from the Marques Johnson->Grant Hill lineage. Btw, Marques Johnson was another incredibly talented player. If he hadn’t been injured, he might have wound up being in that GOAT conversation too.
