Johnny Most Calls the End of Celtics-Bullets Double Overtime Game on Nov 7, 1987

[@Ken_aka_Ice]

Yeah that was THE way to watch the Celtics back in the day! I LOVED Johnny's unbiased calling of the games...LOL.

[@richardpare3538]

Most had the unique raspy voice, and his delivery was perfect! The Celtics lost a great one when he passed away.

[@dorotwhy]

The best game ever!! AND the best announcer of all time. Turn down the volume on the tv and PUT JOHNNY MOST ON THE RADIO!!! Wish we could have our #1 Celtics fan back. Those were the days. I MISS YOU JOHNNY MOST!!

[@FredSchneiderUSA]

Even though the Bullets lost this game, this is one of the best regular season games in the history of the Capital Centre.

[@kurtheckman8207]

I was there. It was AWESOME

[@cllwydd]

I've been looking for a "fiddle diddle" call by Most. Thank you.

[@Ken_aka_Ice]

You're welcome! ☘️🏀

[@dorotwhy]

LOL! And he had all of us agreeing with his, "I can't BELIEVE it! They called a foul!" He added so much passion. I got nuthin' but love for 'im . He was the MOST! :O)

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

I was sitting at the bar on a Saturday afternoon way back then in the summer when I heard the Celtics game on. It was Johnny Most sitting in a booth nearby.

[@4EyedAnimation]

this is back when u would put on the tv turn off the sound and put on Johnny Most

[@cobaltcanarycherry]

In Atlanta, we put the excellent Pete Van Wieren and splendid color man Don Sutton on radio for decades, turning the TV sound off to avoid the Carays. The best, most intelligent, entertaining broadcast team of all time.

[@fezzik7619]

Guilty

[@rickytamir4907]

Yes! That's EXACTLY what I did!

[@DavidPinkham-w5o]

Did that all the time.

[@Skindoggiedog]

Look at the reactions from the Bullets as the ball sinks.... How can you not love Larry Bird?

[@Gregory-sm9pf]

Fred Roberts is still standing on the court today, he's incoherent along with Moses Malone,,,, their both gonna end up as roommates

[@irishgrl]

Larry Legend! Never gets old!

[@robertnolon2923]

love to hear Johnny mosts call at the end of the triple overtime game against th Phoenix sun's. I remember Brent musburgers call on tv and it was incredible. loved Johnny most.

[@Ken_aka_Ice]

The legendary "Voice of the Celtics", Johnny Most and sidekick Glen Ordway called this game.

[@demmikedem]

This is so great. Fiddling and didilling. Johnny was the greatest.

[@annecornine8469]

This was fun to watch!! Goooo...LB!! 😊

[@Tooms1121]

awesome video! i can't believe this exists after all these years!

[@VrgniaMailman]

@C10WOODY I was at this game!! Yes, it was called correctly as a 2-point shot, but as John19182004 commented, the Celts were down only one, so they won by one. But the shot had to go in, or the Celts would have lost. The entire crowd, fans of each team, left the Capital Centre in awe that night. Bird hit about 4 tough bombs late in regulation, late in the first OT, then the game winner to win it. Another thing that was fabulous was that I had taped the game, and the Bullets announcers,

[@dorotwhy]

Thank you for posting this! Miss that Johnny Most.

[@DJ-bj8ku]

If you’re a Celtics fan, listening to Most was like having your pal over to watch the game. They probably had Ordway there just so Johnny could use the bathroom.

[@Altasren]

It's good to hear Johnny's voice on "fiddlin' and diddlin'" again ...

[@grawakendream8980]

that's so cool that you captured this for posterity

[@nutoriusfoz148927]

[@pere13]

This just shows how good the 80s team were. The Boston Celtics who were considered one of the best if not the best team of the 80s having a tough time with the Washington bullets

The Bullets gave the Celtics alot of problems in the 80s. Regular season and playoffs.

Lol. Chick Hearn was 10 times better

[@Joseluispm71]

Jajajaja...yess that was good!

[@drummer78]

Yeah, he became Most's sidekick in the last few years.

[@SoftBank47]

The Big O, Glen Ordway also on color alongside Johnny Most. The Celtics have been lucky to have good radio men like Most and now Sean Grande on WEEI.

[@alexvertikov4069]

SoftBank47 I dont know if youll ever see this 6 years later, but the celtics are no longer on WEEI, WEEI only has the sox. 98.5 now has the celtics, pats, and bruins. The announcers arent anything special.

[@VrgniaMailman]

@SoftBank47 One of Johnny Most's most memorable calls for a regular season game occurred some time during the 1972 or '73 season. Celts were down 1, there was no 3-point rule, and had been outplayed at Boston. But John Havlicek hit a long shot at the buzzer to win it. Bob Ryan was the beat reporter covering the Celtics for the Boston Globe newspaper, and after describing the game, he closed his article with, "They had to scrape Johnny Most off the ceiling." LOL

[@cindyknudson2715]

😂

[@UnionKid15]

Thanks for posting this.

[@Forever_Laura]

Too bad they didn't show the dancing old man in the crowd after Larry hit the game winner, he probably crapped his depends.

[@Gregory-sm9pf]

They couldn't, he was laying on the floor mumbling something about a particular Bird , words that I cannot post, I'll get kicked off

[@roofer10]

Its he fiddles and diddles... The best!

[@iBeButler]

Larry had 47 points that game.

[@garrettschupp5653]

Good thing Mark Acres blew both free throws or we don't get the bird and most ending.

[@fredschaeffer826]

Yeah ..an Acres also went for the steel and missed on Moses who scored big-time with three seconds left

[@VrgniaMailman]

@C10WOODY especially Home Team Sports play-by-play announcer Mel Proctor (who was a good guy, by the way), was/were absolutely morose a few seconds after the game was over. Mel was so sure that the Bullets were going to win .... it was fabulous for this Celtics fan, although it is great to hear Johnny Most go apeshit as usual in this version!!! Also, there was one elderly Bullets fan waving his cane around in anticipation of the Wash. victory, but #33 spoiled his party!! Funny!

[@dcfanchris]

Tommy Heinson is clearly a student of Johnnie.Not afraid to call it as it is.

[@pa93562]

Johnny Most and Gus Johnson both commentating together would be epic.

[@UnionKid15]

And so was Larry Bird, he was the man too, lol.

[@Ken_aka_Ice]

I never looked at that - but on that second replay it does appear that he did step on the line. No worry - Bird killed them!

[@cindyknudson2715]

Bird knew they only needed two, so the line didn't matter.

[@yalllove]

The Celts would have won championship 17, 18,19,20 with Len Bias. But everything in History has happened for the Celtics in 2008 to win it all.

[@jpfiloramo]

Glen Ordway is the color guy.

[@VrgniaMailman]

@sean2015 Yes, it was. And yes, the Cap Centre, as it was called, was on the cutting edge of sports arena technology. It opened in Dec. 1973 or so, and Frank Sinatra was one of the (if not THE) very first shows. But even though the seats were more comfy and the views were unobstructed, it couldn't hold a candle to the old Boston Garden for generating basketball excitement. Of course, the Celtic fans had a lot to do with that, too. Celtic fans are awesome. As were the Celts.

[@matthewweaver7805]

No one like Johnny Most. Sounded like he gargled broken glass..

[@Phoenixsuns2007]

Great stuff! Hey, would u happen to have any Johnny Most audio from the '76 game?

[@darrellbriggs1234]

Hard to believe Akers was an nba player. Bricked 2 free throws, over played the inbounce to Malone and then whiffed on trying to cover him as he went to the hoop.

bob ryan called it "dog-whistle delerium".

Occasionally you'd get the same game on both :D As classic as classic gets. RIP Johnny...

[@chris93703]

Is the the game where Bird was having a terrible 4th quarter and told the other team he was making the 3 point shot at the end of the game?

[@cindyknudson2715]

That was versus the Suns "down in the old Saddle dome" according to McHale. 🙂

Bird brilliant Akers who? Never heard of her.He made four big game losing mistakes in the last minutes.

[@VrgniaMailman]

@sean2015 All of what you said factually about the Boston Garden was true, but the prime reason the Celtics ran off a 40-1 record at home in 1985-86 was because of the team and the fans, not the building!! Yes, having that unique building helped them, but not all that much. By the way, Sean, I will send you a trivia question to your youtube inbox.

[@youtubin222]

man, acres was disgraceful

Nice swipe at the ball instead of trying to stop Moses driving to the hole
