In this autonomous clip, we have the ABC intro to one of the greatest moments in NBA history. It comes from game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers. After Willis Reed tore a leg muscle in game 5 and missed the following game, many wondered if he would play in the clincher at Madison Square Garden. Reed did decide to play, and after he scored the first two baskets, the Knicks rolled, beating the Lakers 113-99 to win their first ever NBA title. It is one of the most courageous moments in league history, and it helped vault the NBA into national prominence. |
