Here is a recent video tribute to Bradley that ESPN did, in which it chose him as the 3rd greatest college basketball player of all time (you'll recognize some of the film footage in it). Some of the people interviewed in it say some wonderful complimentary things about Bill. [|Bill Bradley video tribute]

Here is a clip from Bill Bradley's NBA debut with the NY Knicks. In it, his first touch on the ball is--quite ironically--on a handoff from Cazzie Russell, who was his college rival on Michigan. A little later, Bill hits his first shot attempt--again ironically--on an assist from Cazzie. Cazzie joined the Knicks straight out of college in 1965, while Bill first spent two years studying at Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship. The two men were teammates when the Knicks won the NBA championship in 1969-70. Bradley was a starter for that team and was still a starter when they won the NBA championship a second time in 1972-1973 (by that time Cazzie was gone, having been traded to the Golden State Warriors).

Short video on Bradley and his teammates who won the 1969-70 NBA Championship. This is one of the best, most famous, and most revered teams in NBA history, a model of teamwork, intelligence, and skill. Please note the part about the Knicks being very undersized in Game 5 of the finals because their center and captain Willis Reed went down with a serious injury. They game back to win that game against tremendous odds because of a strategy that was suggested to their head coach Red Holzman by Bill Bradley (Holzman often gave the players on that team a big say in choosing plays and tactics because the players were all so intelligent and mature). The decisive Game 7 of that series is one of the most famous and inspirational games in NBA history because of the performance of the seriously injured Reed. [|NBA Champions: 1970 New York Knicks]
