Ah, someone needs brushing up. Cause it was Magic and Bird that saved the NBA.
Someone had to put it on the map to begin with.
I'm a huge Wilt fan. But, the NBA was showing taped playoff games before Bird and Magic came on the scene. Wilt makes my 5 best team. So does Bird.
Just to add to this, I was stationed in Long Beach, Cal in 1971 when the Lakers (Wilt, Jerry West and gang) rang up 33 consecutive wins along with the NBA championship. The same time Walton was at UCLA. Great year for basketball!
