I read about this in Bill Simmons' new book THE BOOK OF BASKETBALL, and of course had to scurry straight to YouTube to see if I could find the clip in question. If you want to see a jackass Rick Barry put both feet in his mouth, one toe at a time, play-by-play man Gary Bender sweating like a madman (really, I think you can see the flopsweat), and Bill Russell so pissed off that smoke shoots out of his ears (really, I think...oh, never mind), then you need to see this clip of CBS' telecast of Game 5 of the 1981 NBA Finals. When is the last time you saw anybody this angry on live television?
