Man I wish I was born where I couldve watched every game in the 1980s. The 80s was the last decade where the NBA was all about team. Golden era of basketball.
The 80's . . Pac Man, Billie Jean , Lakers and Celtics , Air Jordan , Bad Boys, Nintendo , Tube Socks, Eddie Murphy , Run DMC, etc. You can go on and on .
What about Jordan’s run throughout the late 90s. I mean he won 6 out of the 10, does late 90s not count? Ending with spurs and Kobe/shaq/Phil’s Lakers.
I was 3 years old on January 1, 1980. And, I was 13 years old on December 31, 1989. The '80s were great for the NBA. I wish my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa. had a NBA team. I remember when the NBA had 1 preseason game played here in Pittsburgh every year.
How the hell would you know? From three to thirteen you think you actually even paid attention to basketball? Please…. it was barely televised back then, magic and bird literally saved the league in the beginning of the 80s and a big chunk of the players were still coked out in the early 80s
In the 80s I was a young kid and I watched every single celtics game from season 85-92. Broke my heart when Bird quit. But anyways Everytime we played the jazz i knew wed be in for a tough game. Between mosses and Stockton you guys where beasts.
That's because in the 70s the pool of bball talent was divided between 2 leagues. Bringing each other down. Instead of the competition making each other better. As it was between 1980 to 2004 the best era of bbal 25 years.
01:30 Props to Magic of course, but Jazzy Jeff selling Pete Maravich a little short there. He was doing no look passes and showing off at point guard all the way through the 70s.
Lol damn if you start watching at 56 min and wait for when the game ends and the fans storm the court, keep your eyes on Bird. He straight sprints fists out plowing through fans towards...towards...not exactly sure where he was planning on going cause the fans were everywhere
These were great, 80s & 90s. Idk who is charge of nbatv programming but I think they need to shake it up over there. Not enough content like this anymore on ch
the most incredible part of birds steal was that without looking down Bird knew he had to stay on his toes to avoid being out of bounds and when he came out of the huddle after that he looked over at Thomas and winked at him...what a jerk...lol
I've seen NBA 80's and NBA 90's completely uploaded but I haven't been able to find a single scent online of NBA 70's and I want to know if it even exists online
The first Piston championship in 1989 was garbage. The Lakers were on a roll to the Finals undefeated and then Byron Scott was injured before the first game and then Magic pulled his hamstring. How come nobody ever mentions that? They would've never beaten the Lakers at full strength.
I’ve heard; they left Isaiah Thomas off the “Dream Team” because of the Pistons “bad boy” image. So even though he absolutely deserved to go to the Olympics and win the gold with the other superstars he didn’t get picked. Basically they held Isaiah accountable for things that others, especially Lambeer, did. That’s messed up if it’s true!
These professionals talking about the shorts they had to wear in the 80's, badmouthing the hell out of them now. But back then it was the style. All they guys wore that style not just for basketball, but tennis, soccer, track and field, cross country running, the list is endless. And I never heard one bad word about them then. As a matter of fact when the world changed and the short shorts left the scene I didn't like it. I hated those new shorts. One guys says, "I don't think I've ever seen one person block Kareem's sky hook" Wilt Chamberlain blocked it at least one time. But his point is accurate, thousands of sky hooks that were never even close to being blocked by Kareem. And one of the commentators says Buck Williams was the strongest guy in the league at the time and maybe the strongest of all time. Please. Buck Williams couldn't hold a candle to the strength of Wilt Chamberlain.
So world Champion means NBA champion and NBA means National Bas ... why does the NBA not rebrand in WBA? Oh cause there already is WNBA and that will get confusing.
Crazy to think that pre 80s, nba is a dying league. I only know from watching netflix e.g chicago stadium had more crowd for futsal (from last dance) and cbs almost get rid of nba coverage and show finals in tape delay (winning time lakers). Dr j, showtime lakers and young ballhog mj with air jordan, and celtics saved the league

I grew up as a teen in the 80s best basketball ever back then
Grew up in the 80s watching all of this! What a great time to watch basketball

There will never be times as good as the 70s 80s and early 90s, not to me anyway.

Nah, that point in time wasn't that great

@@patrickkirkham Well the NBA that I saw from 1987 to 1989 was a great era.
When I think of the 80's NBA all I think about is this: Lakers vs Celtics, Magic vs Bird, And a young Air Jordan.
I was today years old when I found this. Thank you.
This is so perfect lol. I would say pink, purple, and turquoise were the defining colors of the 80's
And pastel yellow
kurt rambis, looks like clark kent, rebound like superman and shoots like lois lane . that cracks me up. love kurt rambis
Moses Malone was highly underrated. His career stats were quite impressive.
How highly one thinks of Moses is a defining characteristic of one's basketball knowledge.
In the 80s I was a young kid and I watched every single celtics game from season 85-92. Broke my heart when Bird quit. But anyways Everytime we played the jazz i knew wed be in for a tough game. Between mosses and Stockton you guys where beasts.
Also Karl Malone!

Philly was stacked they should’ve won one of two but couldn’t get past Boston.

the 80s were the foundation for the 90s
well... the 80s did come before the 90s, so...
obvious yet interesting
Uhmm 70s wasn't that bad

Sidney Moncrief the best underrated player in the 80s, there I said it.
What inspired the makers to have Michael Bivins and Jazzy Jeff to be in this lol I love it,
Wow HOLA desde 🇪🇸SHOWTIME FANTASTICOS VIDEOS BRO👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻👏🏻
Man in the 80s the Lakers VS the Celtics, the Pistons VS the Bulls, the Pistons VS the Celtics.........straight up battles (if not all out wars)
Don't forget Celtics vs Sixers
I still think my boy Nique is the most underrated NBA superstar of all time...
U almost got me in years.
Man nique was da ishhhh.
I wish he had a solid sidekick.
@@averyt6521 for real... he just needed one solid sidekick... just one!
He was good outside and inside game and one of the best dunkers ever .
@@Boss3Nate Atlanta had a great team , that had alot of talent
@@davemartino5997 yep
Nobody blocked Kareem's sky hook? I saw Wilt Chamberlain do it and I saw Manute Bol do it.
Two more
Bill Walton
1:05:24. The first televised instance a bench player pulled the "falling back into people, arms outstretched in amazement"
I remember Adrian Bentley used to get the ball pivot towards the goal, wipe the ball off, do about four pump fakes and still score on somebody
Bird and Magic greatest of all time.
Don't forget Isiah Thomas, and Moses Malone !!
Dont forget the Dream
Jordan and dr j
Heavy Gratitude
Gratitude
i really love hakeem olajuwon almost as much as kareem abdul-jabbar
I’d like to have that 1986 fleer basketball cards that Kept being shown on this documentary.
As a fan of the #DetroitPistons, #DetroitRedWings, the #NHL should do something like this!
😍😍😍Wooow 😍😍😍Que Guapooo
01:30 Props to Magic of course, but Jazzy Jeff selling Pete Maravich a little short there. He was doing no look passes and showing off at point guard all the way through the 70s.
Imagine if bird grew up shooting 3s .
i love how much larry and red would joke about things
1:04:48 Larry Bird has seen Kevin McHale's 56 point effort and raised ya
What made Larry Bird better than magic is he can play point
3:00 there's the guy who had his name on basketball's ultimate prize
Lol damn if you start watching at 56 min and wait for when the game ends and the fans storm the court, keep your eyes on Bird. He straight sprints fists out plowing through fans towards...towards...not exactly sure where he was planning on going cause the fans were everywhere
How did Dominique get the jheri curl to stay in a box? Impressive.
Short shorts are cool and so are afro side burns.)))
Darryl Dawkins his super Dunks were fantastic. ....
These were great, 80s & 90s. Idk who is charge of nbatv programming but I think they need to shake it up over there. Not enough content like this anymore on ch
Preach on, Mark Curry. Dominique Wilkins was robbed in that Slam Dunk Contest. The only reason Jordan won was because it was in Chicago.
All those 360s and windmills are basic dunks now
Guys were real men back then.
Guys are grown boys now.
How in the hell we never had some sort of Inside the Nba with Darril Dawkins in it back then.
1980 Finals MVP should be Kareem.
So very true Johnson has been hyped up
When i think of 80s NBA i think of Dr.J sweeping the Lakers in the finals
Injuries decimated the Lakers that year.
@@adamfeliciano5233 and Moses Malone decimated whatever was left
the most incredible part of birds steal was that without looking down Bird knew he had to stay on his toes to avoid being out of bounds and when he came out of the huddle after that he looked over at Thomas and winked at him...what a jerk...lol
4:39 Was not expecting that. Hilarious.
BUENISIMA...
RIP Chocolate Thunder
Dr.J the greatest the one who started the airlines
Lol Reggie Miller is da man
This is rad!!!

Better than NB90's
(And thank you for the uploads!)
Magic reminds me of Lonzo -- broken ass jumpshot but can pass the rock.
I'm not wrong tho.
Also he reminds me of Steve Nash too because his assist were really impressive
@Fui Gebhardt1 keep it to yourself
1:05:42 but La did went on to recover....
Awsum era.
in 2017 GSW went fo fo fo fi
Those lucky leprechauns in Boston Garden were using striped shirts (since the 60's).
55:22 genuinely trying to figure out whether he's being sarcastic, or totally literal.
i like this better than that chicago netflix ego show.....this is what basketball is all about. not just winning and become an a__hole in doing it.
Yeah, Pat O'Brien talking about moustaches - real deep (to be honest, neither are true documentaries)
he thought utah was in Luxemburg and the post-production shows images of berlin lol
The first Piston championship in 1989 was garbage. The Lakers were on a roll to the Finals undefeated and then Byron Scott was injured before the first game and then Magic pulled his hamstring. How come nobody ever mentions that? They would've never beaten the Lakers at full strength.
the pistons were better that year
Larry Bird The GOAT!!
While Magic Johnson was the best Assist player at the time !!!
I might be wrong, wasnt Jordan in the 80s???.
Steve Morgan Yes but not as dominant as in the 90’s
1:17:26 it starts showing Jordan once he dropped 63 on Boston
1984

Nothing beats the 96 draft. Nothing.
