Talking with George King is always a pleasure, because
the ex-Syracuse Nat star brings back memories of profes
sional basketball's golden hour the 1954 championship
playoffs,
King, the assistant coach at West Virginia, was in town
last weekend when the Mounties
beat the Lions in their annual Rec
Hall thriller, 75-73.
Jovial George who walks
around with a smile on his face
all the time, is a sophomore in
the coaching racket after a dis
tinguished pro career with Syra
cuse and Cincinnati.
The former national scoring
champ from Morris-Harvey spent
four of his five pro seasons with
the hustling Nationals and end
ed his playing days in 1957 with
the Royals.
King is best remembered for his
last second steal and foul shot
which gave Syracuse a 92-91 win
over the Fort Wayne Pistons in
the final game of the 1955 play
offs
He also was an important
member of the 1954 Syracuse
squad which must„go down in
sports record bookd as the most
courageous team ever assem
bled.
After a sec
ond place finish
in regular season
play, King and
the Nationals
pulled the big
gest upset of the
ae a son beating
the New York
Knicks and Bos
ton Celtics in a
round - robin
playoff to gain
the finals against
the Minneapolis
Lakers
How they did it was amazing
because three of their top stars—
Dolph Schayes, Earl Lloyd and
Paul Seymour—all were wearing
casts and Wally Osterkorn, one of
the top defensive stars had a se
vere charleyhorse.
The odsmakers figured the
Lakers, with Messrs. Mikan,
Mikkelson. Pollard and Martin,
weld breeze past the crippled
Naas in four straight. But Al
Cervi's crew had different ideas.
The Nats, swathed in bandages,
dropped the first game to the
Lakers, 79-68, and the odds soared
upward for a clepl. sweep.
In the second the Nats
bounced back for 4 62-60 upset.
But it was a costly victory because
King, one of the backcourt start
ers, bounced off George Mikan
and came up with a broken wrist:

The Nationals made quite a
scene when they took the floor
for the third game. Four men
wore casts and Osterkorn could
just about run. They lost that
one, 81-67.
That should have been the end
of the story but Syracuse decided
to rewrite the script.
The bandaged brigade fought
hack in the fourth game for an
80-69 win as the injury list in
creased Bill Gabor, the only heal
thy backcourtman besides rookie
Billy Kenville, was carried off
I the floor with a knee injury that
ended his career.
That brought King back to the
starting lineup, cast and all, and
the Lakers took a 3-2 lead in
the series with an 84-73 win.
By this time the whole basket
ball world was watching and wait
ing to see if the Nats could tie it
up. The game was in Minneapolis
but Syracuse's cast-iron defense
'teld the Lakers to six points in
he third quarter and they won
i 5-63.
Then came the most dramatic
championship game in NBA his•
tory. Gabor was on the bench
and the Nais started Schayes,
King, Seymour, Red Rocha and
Osierkorn. Rocha was the only
healthy one and when he got
tired in came the crippled Lloyd.
The game went right down to
;he wire before Minneapolis rai
led to pull it out by seven and
crush the hopes of the Nationals.
Apparently the Lakers had never
heard of Cinderella. •
