I was born in 1957, I used to be one of the world's biggest bball fans. So many great players in my youth. I actually think the three pt line has hurt the game. I love defense, blocked shots, I like watching the stars go to the floor for a loose ball and even end up in the lap of a court side fan. It seems it's turned in to a glorified game of HORSE. Spread out and pass until someone gets a 3 pt shot. If someone drives to the basket the defense just watches the dunk. But refs call a foul for nothing now. Used to require some blood to get a foul called. I suppose the way they carry the ball now while dribbling adds to the entertainment value. But I miss this kind of basketball.

No other team beats this team in a series as they were this season, they had it all, and please note that I am not a fan of Philly sports AT ALL , I think Philly fans are obnoxious sometimes, and I am not a fan of the cities teams in any way , other than recognizing and understanding that this Sixers team is the best ever.

@@mariusloveless7880 Very tough for that 1 season. I do believe some (not that many) teams were a tad more powerful (offensively) top to bottom because Iavaroni wasn't a scoring threat. But ... They didn't need him to be. He certainly did the dirty work and blended in well. And off the bench, Bobby Jones contributed on both ends, so I guess you can say it wasn't an issue. It has certainly been proven an abundance of guys who need the ball can be a detriment. The mid 70s Sixers and last years Lakers fit the case.

you know who was super tough, just a rung below the 3 elite eastern teams, the 83 Bucks who swept Larry Legend and would take Philly or Boston to game 6 or 7 year after year in the 80s. First off Marques Johnson was one smooth mfer, he was a star, he was getting his against Doc, Bird, anyone and put him with angry Lanier, Lister, Moncrief, Pressey with Winters, Bridgeman, Cowens, Ford, Catchings all coming off the bench, that was a super high IQ team with athleticism at every position and coached by a real innovator, Don Nelson, I saw it as avid Philly 76er fan back in the day, those Bucks were dangerous, it was a battle

Fantastic documentary. Loved the special nod to the great players like Lanier, Pistol Pete, Hudson, Bing, etc. who were great but tragically cold not win the big one. Doctor J was in danger of becoming an even more tragic figure as he actually won just three years into his career but his ABA titles and stats were ignored. So he would have joined the list in an ironic sense.
