SPORTS VIEWS
The NBA Season is now completed . . Second-year Milwaukee
proved the big surprise of the year as the Bucks won 56 of their 82
games ... We all know the super year put in by Lu Alcindor, as he
played in all 82 games, accumulated 2,361 points to lead everyone
else. He also placed third in rebounds-grabbed, and was the seventh
best field goal shooter . . . But Milwaukee is far from a one man
team . . . Fourth round pick Bob Dandridge hustled his way to a
fine rookie season, and the guards, John McGlocklin and Flynn
Robinson scored 40 points a game between them. Robinson shot free
throws at a .898 clip. and McGocklii placed fourth in field goal
accuracy . . The best team was 60-22, the New York Knicks .. .
Last year Mike Riordan was used early in the year only to the in
tentional fouls . . But by mid-season this year was starting and
contributing . . . The big five of Bill Bradley, Walt Frazier, Dave
Deßuscherre, Dick Barnett, and Willis Reed. played team and de
fensive basketball . . Baltimore, at 50-32, were still a good team,
better than West leader Atlanta . . . Atlanta edged Los Angeles with
a mixture of players . . . Lou Hudson proved an all-star by his fine
play and leadership . . . Los Angeles was carried by scoring champ
Jerry West most of the season, but rookie Rich Roberson and vet
eran Hap Hairston helped to fill at least a part of the gap left by
Wilt Chamberlain's injury and Elgin Baylor's aging . Chicago
and Phoenix tied for third each 39-43 . . . The recent NBA draft
provided the following highlights, Bob Lanier to Detroit, Rudy Tom
janovich to San Diego, Pete Maravich to (division leaders!) Atlan
ta, as San Francisco took a chance to give their first round pick to
possibly lure Zelmo Beatty back to the NBA as a warrior . . . Other
draftees, new Portland drafted Jeff Petrie, Jim McMillian to Los
Angeles, and Jimmy Collins to Chicago . . . Probably the most shock
ing event of the season was the Boston Celtics, 34 wins and 43
losses, sixth place in the east, and eleventh best of the 14 teams.
Ist Game April 12:
