Willis Reed and the 1970-71 NY Knicks ...

Reed's passing got me thinking ... check out this video of Knicks vs. Bucks. Note the HOF players and all-time greats in this game. Two things stand out:

1. No 3-point shot, and how different (and beautiful) the game was when big men played a very different, more critical role as a result. It was a more balanced game.

2. Players actually dribbled the basketball; you see virtually no palming/carrying of the ball. It simply wasn't allowed, and players were taught and expected to actually dribble. Also no walking/travelling; again, unlike today, it just wasn't allowed.

I know and admit to being a grumpy old man, but basketball was so much better to me then.
