    Good find! The shorts, socks, shoes, and the hair covering the ears - amazing!

    Pretty rare to see high quality courtside footage from a 1979 NBA game. Also weird to see Alex English with the Pacers.

    Some things I noticed from that game.

    • I totally forgot that Alex English was a Pacer.
    • It was neat how I knew instantly it was the Blazers based on the uniforms.
    • Initially I had no idea who they were playing, because I didn't recognize the uniforms. At first I thought it was at the Tacoma Dome.
    • The movement seemed much smoother and with purpose than some of the current day NBA. That was pre 3 point line, so it made sense. Now everyone can just shoot 3's and the offensive flow doesn't have to be as crisp or detailed.
    • I hope @HCP is flummoxed as to how I did the bulletin points.
