Abdul-Jabbar played along side Earvin “Magic” Johnson during the “Showtime” era in Lakers’ history.

Both players developed an incredible amount of chemistry, and they were the most dynamic duo in the league during the time.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spent 20 years in the NBA, six with the Milwaukee Bucks and 14 with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Abdul-Jabbar averaged 20.4 ppg, 3.2 apg and 9.4 rpg and had a total of 38,387 career points.

No other center in Lakers’ history was as dominant or productive as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he has made the roster without any competition what’s so ever.
