The story about the ducks being his guardian angels beginning at 3:59 is incredible. What a great player Bernard King was - and what a cool guy. I'm old enough to remember the "Ernie and Bernie Show" at Tennessee. And Bernard's kid brother, Albert - he was alright too!
Overlooked fact: Bernard was Patrick Ewings' most talented teammate. Although they were teammates in Ewings' rookie year, they never played 1 minute on the court together. King was rehabbing from the injury he discussed in the video...& he made it back for the last 6 games of that season, but ironically, Ewing gets injured, misses those last 6 games. The Knicks don't resign Bernard & Bernard goes on to have 2 more All-Star seasons with the Nets. How differently King & Ewings' careers could have been if the Knicks resigned Bernard 😢
He was an unstoppable, sadly people forget how great he was. I remember the NY vs. Boston, I should say the highlights. very few games were televised. Remember the NBA finals were taped delays before Magic and Bird, they saved the NBA.
Great story. Thank you for sharing it.
Bernard King was a scoring machine back in the day! He seems like a genuine fellow that deserved a better fate on the court.
His hot scoring streak was outstanding 👏

The Bullets. Bernard joined Washington after leaving NY. He began his career with the Nets.
@@Amick44 Appreciate the correction.
@@sidwalker4194sure. A great and largely unexpected comeback in any case.

He sounds like Clarence Thomas. Same way of talking.
