...number of imponderables. Forward Dave DeBusschere figured to neutralize the rebounding muscle of Bill Bridges, but could Forward Bill Bradley and Guard Earl Monroe contain the faster, higher-scoring tandem of Jim McMillian and Gail Goodrich? Would Center Willis Reed, slowed by tendinitis, be able to pull Wilt Chamberlain away from the boards by shooting from the outside? And, in the most exciting confrontation of all, could Guard Walt Frazier outhustle Jerry West? "Between us," predicted Frazier, "it is going to be a battle of pride...

Not a completely unfair appraisal of the movie, either...
Starting at center for the East, the baby-faced redhead beat Wilt Chamberlain on the opening tipoff, charged to the basket, gathered in a rebound and popped in the first two points. Moments later he banked in another jump shot. Then he quickly scored on a fast break, stole the ball and started yet another assault. Never letting up, the irrepressible Cowens led the East to a 104-84 victory and hustled off the Chicago court with the game's Most Valuable Player honors...
