I like the fact that Kevin McHale gives guys that he played against their praise.
I was thinking the same thing. Very humble and likeable guy!
Kevin McHale Is awsome
Kevin McHale is very underrated as a player, coach AND analyst. Very respectful and honest recollection of his contemporaries.
@@WilliamMarshall-hf4rg Indeed
nice guy for a republican lol
Milwaukee Bucks were definitely the best 80's team without a title. 7 straight division titles, 7 straight 50 win seasons, 3 East finals appearances.
Not to mention they were in the east. Which in the 80s was much tougher
No finals appearances. So no
So its like James Harden Houston Rockets
Hands Down The Bucks Were THE BEST 80's Team Without A Title. The Rockets Were Second. Sixers Definitely Should Have Won ANOTHER Ring. The Knicks When Ewing Was Young, Especially If They Had Kept Bernard King.
@@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ absolutely the Bucks, Sidney Moncrief was a truly great great player
Kevin McHale is such a bright guy
He was ridiculed cause he said James Harden was a leader well he was right
@@661ufos he said he isn't a leader ?
If Kevin Michale wasn’t on this episode, my god this would’ve been bad.
Man I swear this is one of the funniest dude I’ve ever heard talk he always has me cracking up
Jet can hold his own
Oh yeah, McHale lended some serious authenticity to the question. 100% would have been lousy without him.
Me: What an interesting conversation about lesser known teams before I was born! C-Webb: "Butt implants"
C Webb acts like Terry Crews in Friday After Next
@@FecalMatador LMAO
McHale was the best player of all the commentators in that room, no doubt. 3 chips, unstoppable on the low block.
McHale best post moves ever, then maybe Hakeems dream shake and James Worthy’s baseline spin moves and Dantleys post fade after a foul
@@naturalfinish All those players had excellent post moves, no doubt. Bird was great on the low block also, he just had so many options. Also, Wilt had great moves and footwork and is highly underrated with his moves. Dip was more of a finesse player than power player.
@@jingqi9106 Good point. The Big Dipper didn't use his strength. A. He did was finger roll
Webber could challenge him for best player. Mchale did get 3 rings but let’s remember Bird was the Man on those teams

There needs to be an NBA Network where you can watch any NBA game that ever happened. I would easily subscribe to that and watch all these iconic players of the 80s and 90s that I didn't get to see or was too young to remember seeing!
NBA TV????
@@JustNeedaBeerandPark Is it like that though? Where you can choose any previous game and be able to watch it fully?
Kinda like WWE Network?
@@abnerdiaz7006 Yup! Pretty much lol
@@PunjabiPiccolo no, some finals CBS some TNT and all the regular season games owned by Fox Sports Detroit for Pistons 2004, Fox Sports OKC for Durant MVP, Comcast NBC owns 76, etc. Big finals games like Lakers vs Spurs or mid 1980s Celtics Lakers already pirated on KZhead, just type game 7 sort by most viewed & long 20 minutes, and KZhead will light up like Christmas 🎄 🕯️ lights.
"I still have nightmares about that thing." -Kevin McHale
The Bucks, The Rockets with the Twin Towers, The Nuggets with Issel and "The Poet" Alex English, The Dallas Mavericks; Aguirre, Ro Blackman
Denver yeah they forgot about them and maybe throw in Iceman Gervin and the Spurs
@@Cashmere.Kufi_88 how about the Hawks: 'Nique, Kevin Willis, Doc Rivers, Tree Rollins, etc.
@@dexterbernard2701 them too..a lot solid NBA teams but only 4 teams in the 80s with championships...Lakers 8 finals appearances in the 80s Rockets was the only other team out the West 2 times... Sixers Celtics and ( Pistons late 80s)
@@Cashmere.Kufi_88 I'm an old-head. That's when, to me, the game was more enjoyable. I can't watch the game today. Its too predictable. Come down and shoot as many threes as possible. Everyone is a two or a three type of player. I played the five. So, maybe I'm a bit biased.
@@Cashmere.Kufi_88 my neighbor from when I was younger was 'Nique's godfather. When he was coming to NY for the draft my neighbor picked him up from the airport (JFK), I'm from NJ. He asked if I wanted to go with him. Unfortunately I couldn't. I was taking chemo at the time. Would've been a nice story to tell.
No mention of the Doug Moe's Nuggets and the Passing Game. Alex English had the most points of any player in the 80s.
Correct. I've been researching the 80s quite a bit recently, and English always comes up with his scoring stats. The 80s were the Golden Age of the Small Forward, and he was the best scorer amongst them all.
@@yoe91 Not knocking Alex, but while he was overall the best scorer of the decade, he wasn't the best all-around Small Forward. I put him behind Larry and the Doctor, but he could argue with Charles and Dominique.
The Nuggets could score but they couldn't defend anyone. The highest scoring game in NBA history came from a Pistons/Nuggets game. Detroit won 181 - 168 in OT. That always held English back.
The Nuggets were good but definitely not a legitimate threat in the West. There was the Lakers, Blazers, Mavericks, Rockets and by the late 80's, the Phoenix Suns. Denver could score but they couldn't defend and because other teams were so loaded, you could predict what would happen in a tough playoff series.
their defense was laughably bad though, still insanely fun to watch
I love this nostalgia. Man there was great teams in the 80’s. I loved having TBS to watch Nique and the hawks.
This is one of the best shows EVER. Simple concept and I’m surprised other sports haven’t copied this format
Rip Bob Lanier
The San Antonio Spurs of the 1980's with George Gervin, Artis Gilmore, Edgar Jones, Johnny Moore, etc., were a really good team that just didn't have enough to get past the Lakers.
Alot of great teams in the west could not beat the ShowTime Lakers!!
Said edgar jones. Damn lol. Mike Mitchell. One year those spurs played the Lakers in the playoffs and won twice in the forum but couldn't win at the hemisfair arena. Lost in 6 games
Artis Gilmore will always be a Chicago Bull, to me.
@@paletangitau1247 because the Lakers were loaded with talent.
If you're talking about the whole decade, I'm going with the Bucks. If you're talking about how good a team was at its best, I'm going with the '86 Hakeem/Sampson Rockets. They beat the Showtime Lakers in 5 and put up a good fight against an all-time great Celtics team.
I agree with this. I do think the 88 Pistons could make the case for best team to not win in the 80s though.
@@whats_holden_up Pistons did win at the tail end of that decade. 1988-89
@@avb6100 that's true. I was bringing up a specific year for a team that didn't win. Best team to not win in 80s probably is Bucks.
The 1988 Utah Jazz: John Stockton, Bobby Hansen, Mike Ivaroni, Thurl Bailey, Darrell Griffith, Mark Eaton, Karl The Mailman Malone, &, more
It was extremely hard just to get to an NBA Finals in the 80's, only 5 teams did. The Lakers with 8 appearances going 5-3. The Rockets with the other two in the West, losing both times. The Celtics had 5 appearances going 3-2. Philly made it 3 times going 1-2, and Detroit made it 2 times going 1-1. That means 20 other NBA teams failed over a ten-year period. The Bucks are definitely the best team of the 80's who didn't win a title. Those playoff clashes against Philly and Boston were as good as it gets!
Exactly! 3 of the 4 best teams in the NBA resided in the same conference and beat each other up. The Lakers were really good but had an easier path to the finals.
@@northernstar6641 kinda like bron in the east
@@northernstar6641 HOuston was pretty good: Twin towers - Ralph Sampson and Hakeem. They were tough.... they did beat the Lakers in 86.. But the Celtics were SO GOOD that year. HOuston could be the best team without a title. Go back and enjoy those videos!
I aways like Kevin McHale honesty and intelligence and strategy of playing the game. He was not the biggest or strongest or most skilled player; however, he changed the psychology dynamics of the game.
He was a supremely skilled player. No one has ever had more low post moves than Kevin McHale.
@@HoratioFitzbastard Best post scorer ever, still to this day. It’s a shame that teams were so shortsighted back then and that extra machismo killed his career early the fact that he played on a broken foot is just so insane
@@jefffawcett People talk about the Dream Shake, but Kevin was doing that move years before Hakeem. While I'm on it, has anyone had a better head fake than McHale?
Just incredibly long arms
@@HoratioFitzbastardyeah fr. Aside from hakeem he had the best footwork of any bigman
1. It's the Bucks. They swept the Celtics in 1983. !!!! They played in 2 conference finals and a very tough Game 7 in a conference semi (1987 agt the Celtics). Moncrief and Sikma are both in the hall of fame, Cummings and Pressey were both excellent players, Nelson was a great coach. 2. I like how McHale answers "best 1980's team to never win a ring" with the 1977 version of a team that DID win a ring in the 80's.
They need to bring this team back again!! Even if it’s on a joint video call...👍🏽👍🏽
Definitely the Bucks! They would’ve made the Finals in any other era/decade, yet in the 1980’s East it was UNBELIEVABLY difficult (and then in the Finals you had to face the Showtime Lakers)! They had some amazing teams and players throughout the decade, and racked up many, many wins too. Besides Milwaukee, it’s the Houston Rockets (talking more about with Hakeem and Sampson as opposed to the early 80’s with Moses)… they already made the Finals in 1986 (had to face one of the GOAT teams though), and had lots of years of success ahead, with a terrific and young core, but injuries, substance abuse, internal problems… ruined it for them, in that decade. You also had teams like the Hawks, Nuggets, late 80’s Mavericks, Bulls coming up… that were very good! Even teams like the Cavs or Seattle, could really compete. Most stacked, greatest decade.
Atlanta Hawks. Deep, lots of good players at every position, well coached. There were two up-and-coming challengers to the Celtics in the East. When the Hawks couldn't quite get over the top, the Pistons did.
Imagine if your whole life was just basketball..How lucky they are..And These guys actually love the game..Peace All
The addition of Mark Aguirre was what finally got the Pistons over the hump.
Bad Boys were the best
Definitely the Bucks of the early 80s, in particular, when they were a young team on the rise. They lost a very close Western semifinal to Seattle in 1980 (after blowing a chance to close out the Sonics at home in Game 6), then switched to the Eastern Conference and lost an equally tough semifinal series to the Sixers. Those 1981 Bucks went 60-22, yet only finished with the third-best record in the Eastern Conference, behind both Boston and Philly, who were both 62-20. That was some lineup: Bob Lanier, Marques Johnson, Sidney Moncrief, Junior Bridgeman, Brian Winters, Quinn Buckner, Harvey Catchings, etc. They just had the misfortune of having to try and co-exist with powerhouses like the Celtics and Sixers. How about an honorable mention for the 1980-81 Phoenix Suns? They went 57-25 that year, the only time during the entire decade that someone other than the Lakers won the Pacific Division. The Suns were the top seed in the Western Conference, but fell 4-3 to the 40-42 Kansas City Kings in the Western semifinals. Those Kings would then lose to the 40-42 Rockets in the Western finals, the only time, I believe, that a conference championship featured two teams with losing records.
Finally some respect for that 80's Mavs team
They were a good, young team.
It's a shame that Ralph Sampson and Hakeem only had a few years of playing together. Those 2 as a duo/twin tower and what they could have become is one of the biggest what ifs in NBA history. They outright beat a prime Lakers showtime squad in the WCF the year before the Lakers won back 2 back titles. They lost the finals to one of the greatest teams in NBA history, the 86 Celtics but they beat them twice at home and very easily could have won a 3rd game. Mid 80's Rockets was a potential dynasty that never was.
True Sampson's knees and the drug problems of other players on that team did them in. Also the Lakers got Mychal Thompson in February of 87, and that was a wrap
Yeah the beginning of the end was the suspension of john lucas, then the next year Lewis lloyd and Mitchell Wiggins get suspended. Their top three guards suspended for drugs. Then Ralph started having injuries. What could of been
how about an injury-free yao ming and tracy mcgrady duo?
@@yaotmacfrancis well they were healthy when they lost to the Mavericks and twice to the jazz in the first round
@@jlobiafra the mavs series doesn't count. that was their 1st year together so they were starting to learn how to play with one another. Yao wasn't dominant yet but t-mac was in his last prime year until his back flared up the following season. They lost in 07 to the jazz but mcgrady was no longer the explosive tmac. He was averaging 25 a game still but no longer could he take over games. Yao however was dominant. So i kinda agree with you on this playoff. however, in 08, they lost to the jazz again. did you forget that yao was lost for the entire playoffs bc of his broken foot? Big missing piece there and they eventually lost in 6 games. again, sad to think what could have been.
3:00 The way C Webb laughed like a little kid when Kevin Mchale said that is hilarious 😂
I remember being 9 years old, walking courtside at a Rockets warmup in 1986. I was there anticipating seeing new basketball star Olajuwon -who was in a McDonald's commercial then - thinking he would be the biggest guy in the world. Then I saw the guy next to him was about five inches taller. "Who's that?" I asked my dad. "That's Ralph Sampson,." he said. I'd never imagined human beings could be so tall. I'd never seen such legs, arms. It was a land of giants. Sampson was 7'4" and wasn't even the center. Unbelievable.
Sampson was such a unique player. He played like he was a six-six swingman that woke up one day having grown ten inches. He just loved to handle the ball and shoot jump shots. It didn't seem like he really wanted to be a big guy, despite the fact that he could be so dominant. It was strange. Ralph was so inconsistent. One game he would be unstoppable, ripping down rebounds, blocking shots, and scoring at will on hapless defenders. The next he was timid and passive. I always wondered if he already had some bad wheels and just couldn't assert himself all the time. But it was odd watching him go off for 24 points and 22 boards in the 86 finals only to manage just 2 points and 7 rebounds in another game. Sure, his averages were impressive, but you never knew which Ralph would show up from game to game.
Actually, when Ralph and Akeem were both playing, Ralph WAS the Center, Akeem at Power Forward. (Hakeem didn't change his name 'till years later, after Ralph had retired).
@@bricefleckenstein9666 not true. Hakeem was the center and Sampson was the power forward, that’s one of the reasons why that duo was so dominant before Sampson was derailed by injuries
Same here I saw Ralph up close as a kid, to this day I don't know how he got into his car that night lol
@@bricefleckenstein9666 nope dream was the center because Ralph had a mid range game
I can see Matt Barnes’ knuckle shape on Fishers forehead
The great Bucks teams with Moncrief and Cummings and Hawks teams with Doc Rivers and Nique top this list.
In the mid to late 80s those Atlanta Hawks teams being in a stacked eastern conference with Boston Detroit a young Chicago Bulls squad in 87 & 88
Don't forget Detroit
@@guaporichard the Detroit Pistons became a Eastern Conference power until 1988 when the Boston Celtics were getting old
The Pistons were better than the Bulls and making deeper playoff runs in the 80's
I really like the dynamic of this group.
Thanks for adding so much C-Webb
Mchale always brings life without having to showing out.
I agree with Mchale the 76ers, particularly in 1980/1982, were the best teams to not win it all. Dr. J just couldn't clutch it but those teams were great.
I love they talked about those Dallas teams. The Mavericks really got off to a pretty good start as a franchise, after starting in 1980. Making it to the Conference Finals by '86 or whatever it was is impressive.
Love to pick Kevin Mchale brains on all things basketball
Trailblazers, Hawks, Cavs and Knicks come to mind!
I love the bond the NBA guy's have.
Terry Cummings is the only player in NBA history to have outplayed MJ in a playoff series. Underrated af.
thats crazy what they're saying about that hawks team, I use them as a sleeper a lot on 2k they have 2 7 footers down low best rebounding team on game
80’s Nuggets were nice too 🔥
Fat Lever and Alex English. Great offensive team, but their defense though... not so much lol.
Kiki Vandeweghe, TR Dunn, etc. They were all offense, no defense. That's why they never could advance past the Lakers, Spurs, Rockets, etc.
The rivalries were way better back then because the players didn't move around to other teams like they do today. Today's players are friends who make "agreements" in the off season to sign elsewhere to build super teams.
BUCKS for me and I'm primarily referring to that talent-stacked early-80s squad (Moncrief, Marques Johnson, Lanier, Bridgeman, Winters, OOH BABY!!!). 1980-81 team definitely should've won it all, too. 1982-83 squad in any other year would've gotten it done as well. Even the mid-80s Bucks (Moncrief, Cummings, Sikma, Pressey) had their moments as legit title contenders, especially that 1986-87 team that VERY nearly took the eventual Finals-bound Celtics out in the 2nd round of the playoffs that season. Looking back, they were probably my 2nd favorite team to watch right behind my hometown Lakers because they loved to run the floor just as hard too! ;-)
McHale's a funny dude.
Milwaukee is the best that never won the chip in the '80's. Three conference finals in a four-year span from '83-'86. They just happened to lose to better teams in Philly and Boston.
they had their best team in 81. went 60-22. lost a 7th game to the sixers by 1point, who then lost to the celtics by 1 point in a 7th game. bucks could have won it all in 81
@@angusthecat1689 They were a loaded team for sure.
@@kevinpayton2664 Milwaukee in the early 80s unfortunately played either Boston or Philadelphia
I'm definitely biased as a Bucks fan, but if you look at regular season records in the 80s, only the Celtics and Lakers had better records. Bucks went to 3 ECF and won 7 division titles. They didn't have Bird or Dr J/Malone during their best years. That was the difference.
Kevin McHale and "short shorts"!! LMAO!!
Kevin McHale’s humor and enthusiasm really make this video
Absolutely love this
Definitely the Bucks they were scary good in the 80's. In the East it was Boston, Philly and Milwaukee period.
R.I.P to great Roy Tarpley . He had drugs and alcohol problems and that's why he left from NBA,he came to my country (Greece ) even if he was all the time drunk and with cocaine he was able to dominate the game ,if he wasn't to the drugs addicted now maybe we would talk for one of greatest power forward ever ,so great way Roy
The Atlanta Hawks get my vote.
Hard to argue against the Bucs but peeps are sleeping on the Cavs. Mark Price was an under-rated point guard. They had two legit big men in Brad Doigherty and Hot Rod Williams. Craig Ehlo was a scrappy player who could hoop.
Those Cavs teams were good.
Huh, so Greg Anthony can actually smile. I never knew that.
I know it says 80’s...but to dismiss the Cavs of the late 80’s and early 90’s is BS...you had Price, Hot Rod, Larry Nance, Brad Daughtery, Ron Harper, Craig Ehlo....those were good Cavs teams that came up short because of one player ....Jordan
Took the words right out of my mouth... the Cavs
They lost to the Bulls 5 times in a 6 year span
True. The story is I was coming from KFC eating my chicken listening to the Cavs when Jordan hit the shot. Literally dropped my chicken fell to my knees. Traffic stopped. I sat there on the ground for a few minutes. Damn you Jordan! Damn you to hell!
Not to mention Steve Kerr who was on that team too from 89-93 coming off the bench. Imagine that, Price and Kerr on the same team! Eventually, two of the best shooters percentage-wise in NBA history playing on the same team!
Because the Bulls got the ball last.Remember Ehlo scored on Jordan to take the lead on the previous play.
Why does Kenny Smith act like he’s this great player that everyone knows lol.
Hes been on TV for years, he won two rings, and he's from NYC so he's naturally pretty loud. But your right it's really annoying he was a solid role player on a team that went back to back it'd be like Mario Chalmers interrupting NBA legends acting like he's on their level
The difference in skill between kenny and a HOF player is a lot smaller than the difference between kenny and your average joe.
@@marcoschulz9162 i mean, any nba player is noticeable better than your average joe. that been said, kenny is much closer towards the low tier than high tier IMO. i believe he's here just because his part of the NBA on TNT panel. Else, nobody would care about him being here
Everybody doesn't have to have averaged 30 to be very good. When point gaurds actually led teams and ran offense and scored when everything else broke down he was a player that did all that. If your point guard was sub par you couldn't win. His career averages are very respectable and what doesn't show is how many big shots he made when defenses would collapse on Hakeem and cut off Cornbread Maxwell and Mario Ellie and even Robert Horry. He was drafted as a scorer in Sacramento. He actually toned his game down to be traditional as a point gaurd once he got to Houston.
Maybe the Cavs ...they couldn't get over the Bulls hump
Mchale mispoke when he said "When Magic has a phenomenal 7th game...": Did the Lakers not win against the Sixers in 1980 in 6 games?
Your right.
The back to back 87 and 88 Lakers barely escaped in game 7 both years versus the Jazz. Like down to the last shot game 7s.
Stockton, Malone with the prolonged help of even just Eaton could have been a very scary team.
@@dusk6159 I'm told Stockton said he could risk being borderline reckless in going for steals because of Eaton. Even if John put himself out of position, Mark was still there to stop a drive in the lane, or at least give John time to recover.
Nobody could stay with the 87 Lakers. That was an alltime great team. They ran through the West and took Boston out. Jazz lost in the 1st round to GS.
@@teofemo7000 my bad, it was just the one year, the 87-88 Lakers they nearly beat.
@@markbrinton6790 no worries bro
Wish this was back on
Marques Johnson is the guy from White Man Can’t Jump
Marques... but yeah.. Raymond! Is that you!
What song is playing at the end?
Kevin's 100% correct.Sixers of 80,81,82.
Yeah if Doc won those years we would be having a different GOAT conversation
The 1980’s “TMC” Warriors had Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullen. Great fun to watch, but never a serious playoff threat. Manute Bol at center was comical, but he was a sloth.
I'd put TMC in the 90s, since Hardaway's rookie season was 89-90 and that was only Richmond's 2nd year in the league.
McHale, actually Magic had a phenomenal 6th game in the 1980 NBA Finals. There was no 7th game in that series.
42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals... played all five positions. Best performance in NBA history, imo...
@@RicardoMartinez-mr6tx Considering who the Lakers were Missing
Before the 1984 draft the Portland Trail Blazers offered the #2 pick and Clyde Drexler for Ralph Sampson. Houston could of had Hakeem / Clyde and Michael Jordan
Cool video
Aguirre was a forward,geniuses.
Cleveland Cavaliers. Mark Price Craig Ehlo hot rod Williams Brad Daugherty Larry Nance Etc
Man I know it’s about the 80’s but the best team that never won a chip was either 1997 Jazz, 1996 SuperSonics, the Jailbreakers and early 2000’s Kings
I thought the '86 Bucks were really powerful. Then, they got swept by the Celtics and I was like what the hell?
Just 2hear these guys talk Old School Basketball is just music to my ears.
Gotta go with the Twin Towers Rockets, but the Bucks had a great team.
Milwaukee Bucks with Sidney Moncrief, Marques Johnson, Paul Pressey, ect
The Bucks of the 80s got screwed by the Celtics and then Pistons being better.
The Sonics had some pretty good teams in the 80's.
I think they won it one year against Washington.
@@rik4369 In the late 80s those Seattle Super Sonics teams with Dale Ellis Xavier McDaniel had to play magic Johnson and the Showtime Lakers
