I watched the ESPN 30/30 on Celts and Lakers. Jeez! As much as I lived and died with Yanks/Sox rivalry, mid 70's forward, Celts and Lakers topped it! Added to that was the Celts/Pistons prelude! Those years were the best. Ever. And my favorite player was Mr. James Worthy. Looking at these clips now, and I still marvel at his swoop! Like the song from those days: "Simply the Best."
I don't think I've seen a player with as many ways to put the ball in the hoop, doing it from the right or the left hand with ease... my favorite player, James Worthy. (Loved watching him burn players on the baseline most. ;}
Best fastbreak finishers in NBA history: Bill Russell (best among centers) John Havlicek Julius Erving Bernard King Dominique Wilkins Charles Barkley Karl Malone Michael Jordan Scottie Pippen Kobe Bryant LeBron James Russell Westbrook But the best of all was JAMES WORTHY.
@San Diego Well, there's Wes Unseld. But in fairness to Russell, he could give you 20+ points in big games, especially in the playoffs, especially Game 7's. He played 5 NBA Final Game 7's in his career and won them all, averaging 20.4 ppg in those 5 games (24.0 ppg if you don't count his last where he scored just 6). Wilt played in 2 and lost them both, averaging 19.5 ppg. Even Kareem averaged less, 19.7 ppg in 3 contests (just 4 points in Game 7 of the 1988 Finals), winning 1 and losing 2. Overall, Russell averaged 16.2 ppg in the playoffs. Not much, but that was actually BETTER than Wilt's 15.8 ppg in the playoffs exclusively as a Laker (when he scored less). Russell was also a good passer (often in Top 10 in assist) and often led the offensive attack with his defense, by blocking a shot while deflecting it towards a teammate who could immediately lead a fast break counterattack. He did that better than any other center. So Bill Russell was actually an underrated offensive player. But I will agree that Olajuwon and Wilt were great fastbreak finishers. Also lefties Dave Cowens and David Robinson among centers. But here's some trivia: the last points of Russell's career was on a fastbreak dunk in the 4th quarter of 1969's Finals Game 7.
Man this vid makes me think the Lakers are falling apart now. Only we if had ballas like all the laker greats. Someday when Mike D antoni gets fired the Lakers could possibly could get back to a championship caliber team without LeBron james coming to team up with Kobe
it's all orchestrated by the league...the new collective bargaining agreement is designed to prevent big market teams like the Lakers from getting the lions share of the free agent market...

@@DeeNice681 Thanks! I know I'm missing some more there. Among centers, Cowens and Olajuwon and especially the Admiral were great runners too.

How You Livin by Alton Wokie Stewart😊
Considering the title, why so few fast breaks?

Lebron needs to take some Notes on those Post Moves. "Big Game" James Worthy baby
Fastest spin move in the game. It almost looks like the video's sped up when he gets it.
@BalBin 032
There is no way LBJ can ever copy Big game james's style of play. Big game james's movement is too fast and too precise.
LBJ can never do enough for you haters...the man has proved himself over an over yet you all still hate
Awesome vid, thanks! :)
