This Day In Lakers History: James Worthy Notches Final 30-Point Game Of Career

Big Game James Worthy is one of the greatest players to ever be part of the Los Angeles Lakers organization. He helped the team win three rings in the 1980s as a vital part of the Showtime era, even taking home NBA Finals MVP in 1988 after dropping a triple-double in Game 7 of the series.

By 1994, however, Worthy’s career was winding down. No longer a starter, Worthy remained a vital part of the Lakers’ second unit, but it was clear his best days were behind him. That didn’t stop him from showing off one last time down the stretch of his final NBA season.
