NO season like that before or since from any player, much less one 5'11. He carried that KC team and kept them in many games like no man could at any size. And to top it off, he became a playmaker and secondary scorer on Boston's strong teams in early 80's and got his title. NO one like Tiny A.

I was a ballboy for the Sonics from '74-79 and worked in the front office until '83. Archibald came to town in December of '74 and like Jamaal Wilkes (rookie of the year that year) mentioned he was like nothing I had ever seen before, the quickness was "impossible" he just lost people and then could pass almost as well as Pete Maravich. Defenders had to give him so much room and defenses had to collapse on him or he would have an uncontested lay in, hence all of the assists. I think that quickness ended up being his downfall as his achilles ruptured a couple of years later. He was still great but the Celtics didn't need him to carry the load. By then he was a wily veteran and could help his team in other ways as well. This video didn't do his quickness justice, but it was good to see him getting the accolades all the same.

@@marcconnelly5652 I know he played against Slick, Van Lier, & Petrie. James Silas was an incredible talent as well. That whole San Antonio team was a force to be reckoned with. They took the Bullets to 7 games in the Eastern Finals in '79, the year the Sonics won it all. I think by then Silas's best years were behind him, but he was still a very dangerous player. I don't know how it would have worked with both him and Murphy in the same back court, they may have suffered on the defensive end a bit. I can't recall exactly, but Silas was a relatively small guard and Murphy was under 5' 10". You are bringing back great memories.

The only player ever to lead the league in scoring and assists for one season. Surprising that so one ever chose him in the All Star draft. In fact, other than Kevin Mchale, who chose only Celtics, those guys left out many greats from the 70's and 80's. Left ff rosters-Tiny, David Thompson, George Gervin, Speccer Haywood, Rick Barry, Phil Chenier, Bob Lanier, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Slick Watts, Paul Westphal, Charlie Scott, Bernard King, Bill Walton, Walter Davis, Calvin Murphy, Bob MacaDoo, George McGinnis, etc. Great times. Still remember the H.O.R.S.E games at half time.

Nate was truly great. I saw him play at Dewitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. At 2:45 someone said "they would knock him down". Early in his NBA career he played in the air. He was an early version of Dr. J and Michael Jordan. Although he was a physical specimen, he was just too small to fly in the NBA except for a few truly glorious seasons. When he played with the Celtics, a mutual friend told me that Nate could still fly, but he refused to subject himself to the pounding that flying entailed. Whether that was true or not, I do not know. As was stated in the video, with the Celtics he accepted the role of playmaker. In the 1972-73 season, Nate Archibald led the NBA in assists and points. He averaged 34 points/game!

Years later when I had to control the game against some of the best high school players in NC those early observations from Tiny came in handy and even help me lead my team to victory against MJ(Laney), Kenny Gattison (New Hanover) and Lynwood Robinson (Southern Wayne). At 5'10 I always led my team in scoring, assist and steals. Thank you for the lessons, Tiny.

curt2g1998 Exactly. Plus Tiny was a FAR better true point guard, whereas Iverson was known as a pure scorer. Not slighting Iverson, but it's really not a good comparison, b/c both were different players. But that said, like you rightly stated, Tiny could also score with the best of em, AND lead the league in assists the same year. Just to be the ONLY player in NBA history to achieve that feat speaks volumes as to how great Tiny was.
