More effort was shown here than todays all star game
Imagine if this were a part of All-Star weekend again and we could watch a game with Bird, Magic, Jordan, Ewing, Drexler, and Pippen. That'd be so cool.
This would be entertaining in today's game
Pistol Pete looked like he could still play.
Celtic Bird Maravich Still Played Even though he left the NBA I think he played in Church League and died on the court
Blood Letter the Church League? He died at a church after a pickup basketball game with his friends
He was only like 37
Pistol retired in 80 so did rick barry, earl the pearl ,Walt Clyde fraizer so they were not that far off from retirement .
He was still young and as long as his knee wasn't acting up he pretty much still could. He couldn't have handled the grind though of a full season.
I remember watching this every year. Great entertainment.
There was more defense being played in this old timers game than there is in the NBA in 2021
lol! at rick Barry on the sidelines with the oxygen mask.
He got his ass clobbered..that is def karma for all those years of him being a asshat
OMG, I wish they still did this....
Did you notice how Red was pissed about losing. Very few have that fire today.
We actually had this game on videotape. This was the same year they brought back the dunk contest (Larry Nance defeated Dr. J). Yeah, some of the guys were a bit "elderly", but SOME of these guys definitely showed glimpses of their past greatness: Havlicek, Earl the Pearl, the Hawk, Pistol Pete, even Nate Thurmond. This was where I first saw the pecularities of the Big O's and Rick Barry's free throw shots. Peculiar but VERY ACCURATE!!!!
A few years after this they discontinued it because of the injuries that these old guys kept getting. Even if you're 45 or 50 that competitive drive doesn't go away and the pride these guys had wouldn't allow them to lay off any because of age. Besides I remember seeing a few of these games as a kid and the idea of it was always better than the reality of it. A few of the younger, very fit recently retired players would dominate and the rest of it got very sloppy and at times, unwatchable.
Bring this shit BACK!!
LOL - Pistol was still in top form. I think he retired too soon.
FavreianVengeance He did
Blood Letter however his knees were just super busted so he couldn’t play
Pistol looked just as impressive as his college days in those clips

This game was played in Denver, hence the oxygen.
In the 1990's they replaced the event with the rookie game.
K.C. Jones was like, "that's Tommy Heinson up to his old tricks again." The "Big O" was still able to knock down that mid-range jumper though...former Warriors Nate "The Great" Thurmond blocked Rick Barry's shot with no problem...Barry was gasping for air with that oxygen mask on over on the bench...
great pass by Red Kerr R.I.P.
They need to get rid of that skills competition and put this back in the All-Star game.
RIP Tommy Heinsohn
yea they should do this again like during all star break
The fat guys in the short shorts and tight jerseys is probably the funniest thing I have seen in a while
This is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Was this done by Onion sports? They need to bring this back!
Those 50-year old men all look so fly in their skimpy shorts.
Do they have old timer games? Wouldn't be nice to see Johnson and Bird at it again? And where is Jerry West?
they need to bring this into the nba all star weekend shit would be fire
I think that the youngest in that old-timers game are Pete Maravich and Earl Monroe
WE NEED TO GET THIS BACK IN THE ALLSTAR WEEKEND...IMAGINE JORDAN, MAGIC,HAKEEM AND OTHER LEGENDS PLAY TOGETHER AGAIN?? that would be so cool
Maravich lead all scorers with 18 on 8 of 13 shooting. He was also the youngest player by 3 or 4 years and had put his alcohol problems behind him. So he was in pretty good shape. Minus the knee of course. Unfortunately while Maravich, Robertson and Sam Jones were 18-33 the rest of the team was 9 for 43. So that's pretty much why the west won.
The Old-Timers game is the prime example of "Great Ideas..on Paper"
they should put this shit back in the nba.
Interesting that there's guys who only retired 3-4 years earlier (Barry, Monroe, Unseld) mixing it up with guys who'd retired 15 years earlier. Great to see some footage of these games, I'd only seen a few seconds' worth before.
Thats awesome I love it.
That music was either from Family Feud or The Dukes of Hazzard. An odd choice but a good one!
This could work now with younga retired players. Maybe with Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Tim Legler, Reggie Miller, or Shaq. Well, the closest thing theyve to the Old Timers Game today is retired players playin in the celebrity games.
The old players with the bellies are entertaining.
Had some old fat toads croaking around out there. Someone could break a hip. I like Thurmond ejecting Rick Barry's shot. Nate is awesome!
jongreek its rejecting man hehehe
I believe they quit doing this game the year David Thompson tore his knee... too bad because it was kind of fun seeing these guys play one more time. It's probably the same reason (liability) they don't do the baseball old-timers games anymore.
@uberathlete Lol, they sorta do play this - it's the celebrity game, Dominique Wilkins played in it... it isn't the same when Justin Bieber is also on the team though... It should just be past NBA superstars lol
they have got to bring this back..its hlarious
No, there were more, but later on those games were called the Legends games.
who were the referees? at 0'18" I can't read the name; later you can clearly see Borgia.
@Odawg96 dude somehow I just want to see this game so badly, are you going to convert the videotape into a DVD or what?
Put it onthe internet as torrent!
@usnate1 How is it humiliating to them if they played in short shorts their entire career? lol they'd probably feel way more ridiculous wearing today's clownish quilt sized XXXL shorts - and remember this is 1984, so NOBODY with a basketball had even heard of longer shorts. I'm 25 and I play in rec leagues and even I think today's shorts look and feel a bit ridiculous, the mid 90's killed bball uniform style. They should at least bring back the '92 shorts so players don't so much like clowns
Look at pete at 46, he still had it
Oh man they revive this. MJ, Magic, and Clyde would still be able to play. Charles maybe not.
They stopped these games in the late 80's I think when they had a bunch of guys getting hurt during the games.
do you have the full game?
@willjamu Gotta stay on that stair climber! It's wild when you think of the great cardio guys had. A lot of guys retire and REALLY let themselves go.
01:42 looks like redd got a krazed stalker hahaha
These guys literally only dribbled well with one hand. Watch Oscar, Havlicek and Pete they couldn't play in the league today.
They were more stricter rules back then with dribbling, you think today they wouldn't adjust
Thats because he would've been in the best shape. Think about it, the man was offered a contract by the New Jersey Nets long after he retired. I think Wilt could've played 20 plus years if he wanted too. But he had other interest.
Is that Hondo at 1:57
Blue_Devil love his(hondo) comments
NBA needs to bring this back, it would be a huge hit, just need to get Jordan.
This is the only time this event was done right?
I think after Jamaal Wilkes broke his leg in one of these games that's when they quit. A few other dudes caught bad ones too. One.
I also think they should do thid now. Im sure players like Kevin Willis, Chris Webber, The Barry Brothers (Jon and Brent), Kenny Smith and Steve Smith would love to do it. Maybe Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Steve Kerr could do too. I 'ont know about Charles Barkley.
Lol that's Jerry West taking the oxygen mask
5280ft above sea level
As cool as this was, their bodies are too banged up and the age gap between someone like Red Kerr and Nate Thurmond is a huge gap
you wonder why the nba doesnt do these anymore
@Has1b that's rick barry
@dantheman9758 I agree the 90's shorts were the best of both worlds....but you have to admit that a man in his late 50's in short shorts only inspires me to hop on the treadmill...c'mon? I'm 29 and I play in just above if not at knee level shorts....the allen iverson era looked fuckin stupid though ya know, they looked liked skirts they were so baggy....it looked stupid too...the short shorts were better than those.
I mean at 0:50
I love nate the greats block on barry. Wonder how many times he did that in practice.practice you talkin about practic. lol
@ :11 seconds the game plan is laid out. NOBODY DIE OUT HERE.
Were the other games featuring guys who had retired...less then 30 years before the game took place?
Seriously, those guys looked like they were about to die. I know basketball is a very intense sport physically but this just screamed bad idea.
@najeenixonnixon I wanna see MJ do what he did again.. I agree
@crestmere This was a bad idea. Just think about it. Here you have guys who retired from competitive basketball because their body could not handle it anymore. They are couple of years older and poorly conditioned. However, they are still intensely competitive and it's a televised game. All the ingredients for these guys to go out and get hurt. Which of course is exactly what happened.
46 seconds i meant
yeah i agree about the shooting stars bullshit. anything that involves the WNBA is bound to be worthless
@crestmere Bad idea no way. Fans the same age who play in 50 + leagues can relate. How ever old you are now if you're just sittin around on a couch makin fun of people out there still active and playing having fun living life instead of watching it, don't judge because you aren't in any position to do it in from a chair in front of a LCD. you do have an LCD or is your screen as lame as opinion.
Judge if you want to but even at their age at the time of this video if Rick Barry , the Big O, Nate , Pistol Pete, and throw me in, took the court on any play ground in America we'd have held court from NY to Oakland CA. NBA players even at the age they were in this post would win every time against any five play ground players. If you don't know that you never played against a pro.
lol 1:25 wtf :DDD
haha nah i never knew
@kimv020887 damn straight....though I would throw Magic Johnson in for backup Lol
nanichick5 magic Johnson was still in the nba when this happened this game was for retired players in 1984 pretty sure Johnson was only a rookie or something like that
TibiabotNG
The very concept of an old timer all stars is funny but borderline evil. You shove these retired player into the lime light to be a shadow of their former selves, a testament what the aging process does to you. The guys had long careers, countless injuries, they are unfit but still have the competitive fire... That will result into a endless string of new injuries, or aggravated old injuries. what a brain fart.
This would be entertaining in today's game
