I'm watching an old Laker/Knick game on MSG. Turn the channel, then come back and they have on a "one on one" Bob Lanier vs. Jo Jo White. My friend says they use to do this at halftime of the old NBA games. Is this right?

They even had (taped) halftime H.O.R.S.E competition at one point.

Maybe some kind of taped deal for TV. highly doubt players from that nights competition would play a game at the half. Especially key performers like Lanier and White.

One year the NBA had a one on one competition. I think Lanier beat Jo Jo White in the finals.

Funny thing was.....there was no defense whatsoever.

I could have scored on Lanier. Jo Jo White did the same layup everytime.

That's what I said to my friend last night!!!!! :lolBIG: That is too funny.

After I said that, in the middle of the contest that had a retro commercial with Wilt Chamberlain for, of all things, Brill Cream hair products.

Figured that's what they got instead. :103631605

I've been watching the nba for over 50 years and have never seen anything like that as a live halftime show. Maybe a taped show that was shown during halftime as previously suggested.

It was a Knicks/Lakers Finals game. Maybe they were having the championship of the "One on One" competition at halftime of the big game.

Those were great. Remember Maravich, Archibald, and Westphal in those.
