Strongly contested dunk... Reed just flattens him. No pounding of the chest, no reaction from the players, everyone just runs back on defense... ESPN would lose their shit if this happened in the Finals today :lol
We get it....you like old man hairy balls in yo mouth. Move it along. Nothing to see here.

I like it, nice dunk!
And yeah, I like how no one overreacts.
Nice dunk!
At what time came this dunk? Was it garbagetime?
Would have thought it would have gotten more reactions than this if it happend at a decisive moment..?

Definitely not garbage time, the Knicks won this game by small margin, Reed scored 38 points, and it was a crucial road game in LA. I've got two more field goals of Willis Reed's on film from this game and they both followed this play, if they are in order that means he scored at least twice after this dunk. Two nice drives and layups on Wilt. I think the lack of reaction is just a combination of the fact that this is an LA home crowd and a reflection of the times - celebrating dunks was frowned upon in the NBA at that time.
Nice dunk.
Willis Reed>Wilt
I wonder what Willis Reed's wingspan is. Great finish.
Wilt with some Lebronesque defense right there
Nice video! Can you post the other two Reed scores from this game that you mentioned?
That is the epitome of cool, to do something like that and just turn your head and run back to play defense.
Great clip..Thanks
Love the shaking of the basket after the dunk. Another reason players back then refrained from showboating by trying to dunk as hard as they could, I guess.
