Wonder what Bird says to Rambis there. This is one of the most important plays in NBA history. After the Celtics' physical play rattled the Lakers and the Celtics won this title, Riley swore that no team of his would ever be out-muscled again, and it led to the brutal slugfests of the Heat vs. the Knicks in the 90's, which helped lead David Stern to clamp down on physical play (protecting Jordan also helped), which has led in many ways to today's style of play.

[@MrDeathyness]

Steve G and the malice at the palace really scared people. I wish the refs could be able to tell the difference between going up straight and leaning in

[@justanaverageperson544]

[@maniacmasturbator2411]

Just Another Guy yeah, Malice at the Palace was the beginning of the 04-05 season. I think the summer of 04’ is when they made changes to help perimeter players. The 04’ finals was very low scoring, that Pistons team was constantly holding opponents to below 70 points. The famous Derek Fisher shot against the Spurs was that season, they barely broke 70 points. But it was the next season, 05-06, when you saw a noticable jump in the scoring of a lot of perimeter players and resulted in that controversial Heat-Mavs finals with Wade always getting to the line. The NBA wanted more scoring/

The zenith of the NBA was the celtics-lakers finals. The zenith of all professional sports was the lakers-celtics finals. I was in Vegas and the casino bar was re-playing games from this series and I stopped for a few minutes to watch and ended up watching for over 2 hours. My addiction for great NBA basketball played by more physical players was far stronger than my addiction for gambling and it was a hell of a lot more entertaining.

[@smackinmatt]

Yes and no. It was smart cuz obviously its better if they dont fight lol. But in hindsight it would have been much better if he'd let him deck someone. The lakers were shook after this play and the Celtics go on to win the series. Had Rambis taken someone out maybe things end differently.

You have to put this in some context. The game before (game 3), the Lakers blew out the Celtics by 33 points. Bird felt his team gave up, let the Lakers show boat etc and he called his teammates out on it. So, this was a message to Lakers and to Bird that they will beat lakers up a little. Obviously Mchale took it literally :) and Boston won this game and the series. Take from it what u will.

Larry Legend giving Superman Kurt a hand getting up - totally ignoring the whole scuffle. Awesome 7-game series, and this play was the spark that the Celtics needed. Larry took it in stride, just part of the game, but Magic took McHale's clothesline on Kurt Rambis personally. A rare mistake by Magic - let the Celtic's get in his head. Magic missed two free throws in a row and mishandled the ball several times over the next games, among other unforced errors. Bird was all over his team when they got blown out by the Lakers, and his team (Kevin McHale) responded to Larry's admonishment with action, not words. I wish the NBA of today would have the grit, talent, and fierce rivalry of the past. It was TV gold. Instead, it is all about money and politics. What a shame.
