Original Type I photograph capturing future Hall of Fame centers Bill Russell and Willis Reed vying for a loose ball under the basket during an Eastern Division Finals game in 1969. A United Press International Photo credit stamp appears on the reverse, as does the original paper news caption (taped to the photo), dated 4/9/69. As noted in the caption, the Celtics won the game at the Boston Garden to take a 2-0 lead in the Series (the Celtics won the Series in six games). The photo (10x8") remains in Excellent condition.
