Greatly enjoyed watching the footage.

This guy seems to know what he’s talking about.

Funny that Doug Collins became an excellent defensive coach after (at least in this vid) being a poor defender. The opposite of Coach McMillan?

long live the jd.

Wow

Sorry, but this really looks bad. I haven’t watched much footage from 77 (I wasn’t born yet) and this doesn’t help its cause much.

That point guard for the Sixers was TERRIBLE — I think I have better ball handling skills (and that’s not good). I had no idea professional basketball was that bad in 77. Dr. J and Walton (and maybe Lucas) look like the only professional players among a bunch of rec leaguers. And LeBron could learn from that move? Yeah, if guys played that kind of matador defense these days he could use it every time. I think Rudy Fernandez would be NBA All-Defense in those days.
