WE'VE GOT TO SPREAD A LITTLE ANARCHY
April 19, 1971
This time the Milwaukee Bucks are going to win the championship of professional basketball: such is the contention of Lew Alcindor. He tells Jack Olsen even before the semifinal playoffs are completed that he is looking ahead to revenge against the Knicks, who beat Milwaukee four games to one last year. But with Oscar Robertson (below) alongside him, Alcindor argues that his Bucks are now the better team. Knick fans are entitled to hope he is just whistling past the graveyard
? Lew, I road someplace where you're much more relaxed about interviews this year, but you still get a little aggravated when you're asked a lot of Stupid questions.
Right.
?O.K. Let's get all the stupid questions out of the way first. How's the weather up there? Gee, ain't it raining up there? Do you still get questions like that?
Yeah, the same old stuff.
?What else do they ask you?
They ask me what kind of gum I chew during the games.
?What kind?
Juicy Fruit.
?All the time?
Yeah.
