There are many NBA legends that are notably recognized during their time with the Los Angeles Lakers, as the team steadily became one the most global sports franchises. However, few have stood out or stood taller than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
A physical specimen, Abdul-Jabbar combined his physical gifts with his stellar mind, to dominate the NBA during his 20-year career. A six-time champion, Abdul-Jabbar spent 14 of his 20 seasons with the Lakers, where he would partner up with Magic Johnson for one of the greatest spectacles ever seen on the hardwood.
The “Showtime” Era catapulted the NBA into the next generation, with the classic battles between the Lakers and Boston Celtics providing one of the greatest rivalries in professional sports.
