NB70s: Rick Barry (1975-78)
In the 1975 NBA draft, the Warriors selected point guard Gus Williams in the first round. Barry was not required to contribute as much during the 1975-76 season, and his scoring average dipped to 21.0 points per game as a result. Barry's relationship with his teammates continued to deteriorate, to the point where during the final game of the 1976 Western Conference Finals, when Suns rookie Ricky Sobers assaulted Barry away from the ball in the first quarter, none of his teammates came to his aid (in response, Barry took very few shots for the rest of the game, leading to speculation that Barry "quit on the team").
In the 1976-77 season, the Warriors won 46 games with Barry, Phil Smith, and Williams sharing the majority of the scoring and ball-handling responsibilities but were eliminated in the second round by the Los Angeles Lakers. Reportedly, Barry and Williams clashed over the ball-handling role, and Williams was subsequently traded after the season to the Seattle SuperSonics.
Barry averaged 23.1 points per game in his farewell season (1977-78) with the Warriors.

"Basket by the big red-head!"
Who would you take Bill Walton or Dave Cowens?
gotta choose dave cowens on this
@@ginoongkamote Me too. Walton, if he's healthy, but Cowens was always healthy.
Can't really say anyone is a better basketball player than Bird. He was exceptional in every facet, was as clutch as anyone, was a step(or two) ahead with his IQ, and had the beast gene to compete every play, every day..
A YUALL I LISTENED TO THIS GAME ON THE RADIO I WAS IN THE 8TH GRADE
BROOKLYN 'S FINEST. BERNARD KING 👑
No doubt the goat!!
Russell gets all the credit having 11 rings including a couple with Bob Cousy in his prime. Sam Jones & Havlicek along with a solid supporting cast and a great coach are just as important and don’t receive the credit they deserve.
Probably the most forgotten great Celtics player. Granted, his stint with the Celtics was very brief. But he contributed to several championships and was even an all-star for a couple of seasons. He is sadly lost in Celtics lore.
I know coming out of college he was more or less expected to be outstanding, not simply good. I know his ceiling was viewed as higher than Frazier and Monroe. Not sure why it didn't materialize. And not taking anything away from Clyde or Earl. But Walker had tremendous natural offensive talent.
AHH man I started learning basketball when AL won his NCAA chips and this was one of my favorite series against him as a rookie. Then for him to join them mentoring the Jays with JT having the same type of year he had against LJ cavs wow. Therefore, yes it's only fitting that he came to Boston and return to wearing #42 to win at this stage! #NBA at its core best producing great men and team players!
Larry Bird was the ultimate "Team Player"!!!
The ABA saved the NBA by giving it life. The entire NBA game changed when the ABA merged with NBA. The NBA was boring. The ABA energized the NBA with an infusion of young players like Dr.J, George Gervin, Dan Issel, David Thompson, Artis Gilmore, Bobby Jones and others.
The Dream was unstoppable and that Dream Shake was so devastating. He beat Kareem, Ewing, Robinson and Shaq crazy to think about.
Michael is the Goat, but Larry will always be my favorite player.
Connie Hawkins. That’s a great name for an athlete.
I read his book “Foul” many years ago. He was hard not to root for. Man, what could have been. He could’ve been an all time top 5 great. That’s how talented he was. Glad the Hall recognized him. I know it meant the world to him.
Dude was a blocking machine for about 2 or 3 years rebounding monster also and could score
Dude was a blocking machine for about 2 or 3 years rebounding monster also and could score
One of the greatest ever but he always had at least two or three All-Stars with him
Ralph Simpson was The Oscar Robertson of the ABA!!
Y did the Ref Walk Away From ZEKE Like That
Thanx 4 This Informative Synopsis‼️❗️. Born N 78 & Began 🏀 My Life N 91 W/ My 🏆 DA BULLS ❗️‼️.
What basketball player is that on your profile pic? I always thought it was Paul Westphal!
thats a picture of my old man he did like a dr j pose hahaha
@@ginoongkamote Oh I’m sorry for the misunderstanding! Hahaha 😂😂 But a Really cool picture!
no problem hahaha he was a really cool dude big 70s and 80s nba fan
Nice upload!
Jim left it all on the floor.
Rest In Peace To Bill Fitch ,Died 2022!
Also to Lewis Lloyd, Narrator David Perry, Robert Reid and their teammates on the Rockets at the time in Steve Harris and Granville Waiters.
Best championship team ever...saw whole season as a teenager
When he retired he became James Earl Jones 🎉
Greatest Pacer All Time #35 🏀🏀🏀🏀
16 years😢
Love when Tommy Hinson says He was playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers
That sixth foul on Cowens was nonsense that seems to have cost the Celtics the game. Cowens probably wouldn't have let Kareem go right on him to the baseline from that far away. Though Cowens might have denied the entry pass in the first place.
Hondo made a record number of clutch shots in a Finals game. No joke. There was probably 7 or 8 under a minute left in the game to tie or take the lead. I didn't count.
Yeah he was always such a great player
Other than Wilt, my all time favorite. Magic in Baltimore! So sad his knees betrayed him denying him a long career.
3:28 and 3:37, how ironic he would say that.
West, Wilt, and Elgin should all have like 5-6 rings 😫
Unfortunately Wilt came and late and tbh the team never meshed well the first year. Jack Ken Cooke should of hired Bill Sharman or Alex Hannum to coach day 1. Then the outcome may be different. Elgin and Jerry would not sacrifice their hero ball game for anyone.
I mean....if the foul occurred before the buzzer, there should be time left on the clock...almost certainly wouldn't have mattered, but still.....
We Love you Johnny Red ! Always will Phillip Anthony Wilson. Down n PHX AZ. R I P Karen Diane Love you 😘🤠🐎🙏
I never remember seeing Hal Greer dunk the basketball. Could he?
Here after horford got his ring with the Celtics 🤴🏿
The best Bull til MJ arrived, IMO.
el maestro
Larry Larry Larry !
ay Larry
“Clear the board then clear the area!” He was a force!!
Underrated. That supposed racist incident when he got fired made people believe he was racist. I think he is not racist he just made a heat of the moment comment
I was at both games 1 and 2 in Houston. They blew two twenty point leads! The choke city headline came out. We thought it was over, noone could possibly see what was about to come 😮
the ref really suck. most calls are none contact
Because of my woody Harrelson type of never missing a 3pointer they call me the white Larry Bird
The guy who was a ball hog and team player at same time incredible!
