NBA history, 1970 Finals. Lakers vs Knicks (last time Knicks won a ring)

[FromDowntown]

Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlin...LOSE in 1970 in 7 games to the Willis Reed Knicks. Crazy.

Knicks 4th option Walt Frazier was scoring 17.6 ppg
Chamberlin alone grabbed more rebounds than the top two Knicks players combined. Crazy.

Reed comes back injured to take the ring away:

So, they've never won in '73 at all? Lmao.

Dave Debussessere was an underrated beast. He and Bill Bradley were the original point forwards.

the combination of age and position for Elgin Baylor and his rebounding numbers meant the paint scoring was disproportionate, which also indicates the high post position wasn't utilized and left a good amount of opportunities made by cutter, uncapitalized.
