RIP Bill Walton

Good one, thanks for getting some sports tapes in the mix!

[@malcolmpusey9535]

RIP Coach Greg Lee

[@heathcompton1336]

Great Quality!!!!

Interesting to see commercials for big cars and Texaco gasoline during the last few weeks gasoline was 35 cents per gallon in the U.S. No mention of mileage in these ads. The nation was about to be awakened.

3:08 Joan Crawford for Pan Am

I would gladly have hit it then.

I went to UCLA Law School. I used to walk past Drake Stadium all the time and never knew who it was named after.

[@ciesaro]

UCLA at that time won 38 consecutive. NCAA tournament games. That record will never be broken in our lifetime

[@carseye1219]

Maybe my favorite John Wooden story was, in an interview with Walton, shortly after this game, he said "Bill, I used to think you were a pretty good ballplayer (pause) then you missed that shot.

[@jacksonj3082]

Bill Walton & David Myers were a great tandem.

[@ricknibert6417]

Wasn't Larry Finch the coach who came under fire after Memphis lost to Drake in the 1996 first round?

[@ciesaro]

Ray Duncan was KNBCs long time lighter side reporter

Seems like simpler times. I was born in 84 so I wouldn’t really know 😂

Watergate, gasoline lines, inflation. Not really.

[@brianarbenz1329]

Back then, beating UCLA in basketball was rarer than eclipses. Incidentally, Bill Walton was officially listed at 6-11 by his insistence. He was probably 7-2 but he believed seven-footers were "freaks". Unlike Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Walton didn't have the impact in the NBA that Kareem had due to knee problems.

[@brianarbenz7206]

Bill grew up self-conscious about his size and his stuttering problem. So capping his official height at 6-11 was a left over defense mechanism from his youth of feeling awkward.

[@rtmhrj]

FYI Walton's problems were with his foot, not his knees. Multiple fractures and surgeries limited his career, but he still won 2 pro championships

Back when you had to win your conference tournament outright to make the NCAA.

[@kenwilliams5513]

5 minutes into the game and only one Ref has made all the foul calls.

[@Jiltedin2007]

The last of the 7 straight NCAA Championships UCLA would win from 1967-73 before being eliminated by North Carolina State, and David Thompson. But the following year in San Diego, UCLA would beat Kentucky for John Wooden’s 10th and final NCAA Basketball Championship, with Wooden retiring after that final.

[@lsmftymf]

Wooden's successor was the opposing head coach in this game - Gene Bartow.

[@Jiltedin2007]

@@lsmftymf And after Gene Bartow left UCLA, he would later coach Alabama-Birmingham.

[@lsmftymf]

@@Jiltedin2007 Bartow didn't just coach the Blazers men's basketball team. He also established and nurtured the entire UAB athletics department.

I'm a Memphis graduate. One of our greatest moments

PEDPHIS.

Memphis' Greatest moment is Elvis Presley !!! But that 1973 team was real good

If George McGinnis was at Indiana this is all elementry. Indiana wins it all with he and Dowling And having the General on the sidelines doesn't hurt either.

[@brianarbenz1329]

But McGinnis was absolutely not a team player. I like him. I saw him play in a high school all-star game. He had unmatched ability. But he had to have the offense designed around him. Would not have worked with Knight, or most any of the top coaches.

[@stever1791]

@@brianarbenz1329 You could be so correct on that. I think about when Dr.J arrived here in Philly , George lost a step in everything he did. But boy what a talent. If Coach Knight could have gotten George to stay and play with old HS teammate Steve Dowling , That would have been some frontcourt to stop

RIP Larry Finch

[@brianarbenz1329]

I always liked Larry Finch. He overcame a lot in his life to be a success at everything he attempted, including being a coach, and a family man.
