What a joy to see Eddie Doucette. I remember his wonderful colloquialisms during his play by play broadcast, "Jonny Mac, 25ft rainbow jumper...BANGO!" "Kareem in the toaster for the rebound." "Kareem over Chamberlain, sky hook...GOOOOD." He was just as exciting as that great Bucks team of 1970-1971

I’m from Hamburg in Germany but my dads from Milwaukee and grew up in cutahay (hope I spelled that right) and I spent 4 years over in Milwaukee in my childhood and my dad to this das talks about seeing Kareem play in the 71 playoffs. According to my old man “words and video footage doesn’t do Kareem enough justice”. Always makes me smile to see him reminisce about his childhood basketball memories :)

The 1970-71 season was the pinnacle for the Bucks for sure. Ironically the team that gave them fits in the regular season was one shot away from facing them in the NBA finals. That team was the Knicks. The Bucks and Knicks met five times in 1970-71. The Knicks won four of the five games. Willis Reed played well against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Indiana native Dick Barnett often guarded his fellow native Oscar Robertson. Many speculate how well the Knicks would have done against the Bucks in the finals had Bill Bradley not had his last-second shot deflected by Wes Unseld. We'll never know.

@@dreman1970 True. It didn't help that Unseld was only 6-6 and Gus Johnson was not 100% during the series. On defense, besides defending Kareem the Bullets had to defend Oscar Robertson and John McGlocklin. Earl Monroe, Fred Carter, and Kevin Loughery were arguable overmatched. Jack Marin matched up well against Bobby Dandridge, while the Bullets were at a disadvantage at the power forward position with Gus Johnson hurt and John Tresvant not playing to the level that he did during series against the Knicks.

I was clearly not be destined to ever make a living in the "land of giant" I wanted to announce NBA basketball announcer--bango!!! I would rather announce a "Jack Knifer" by Wally Jones than make that jumber. Though I did practice sky hooks in my drive way where the hoop was probably nine foot six. I did not do finger rolls I left that to Wilt the Stilt fans.

This title never happens if the Knicks had a healthy Willis Reed in the 1971 playoffs. He injured his shoulder in game 1 of the Hawks series and wasn't able to shoot and the Knicks lost game 7 to the Bullets 93 to 91 and later Wes Unseld admitted we knew Willis was hurt and couldn't shoot and was a decoy and used for picks and to rebound and play defense. It was the only time in 6 series from 1969 to 1974 that the Bullets defeated the Knicks and that propelled them to the finals! In 1970/71 the Knicks beat the 66 win Bucks 4 out of 5 games and they had defeated them in 5 in the 1970 playoffs. For his career, Willis Reed won 15 and Kareem won 6 despite the Bucks winning 304 to the Knicks 266 games from 1969 to 74. Willis Reed only played in 99 games his last 3 seasons and yet the last two times that Reed played Jabbar in November of 1973, Willis with his bad left knee held Jabbar to 18 for 40 shooting and only 44 points in 86 minutes! Kareem does not win an NBA title without Magic Johnson if Willis Reed was healthy!
