Lakers History: Ceremony Honoring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for Breaking the NBA Scoring Record (1984) 

Wilt kareem lebron

LeBron just broke Kareem's record a few days ago😀👍👍👍

Victor wenbanyama gonna be a laker soon.

Bill Rusell is singlehandedly carrying this Lakers vs Boston rivalry. The Lakers have an all-time great in each generation. It's not even close. Laker's talent is evenly spread out.

Yeah either one of LeBron James's sons👍👍👍

The year of goats

Yea Kareem sets this record 38 weeks before LeBron was born lebron at 38 yrs old breaks the record on the 38th day of the year scoring 38 pts in the game, sitting on 38,388 a he broke the record, coincidence I'm sure 🙄

So paolo is the next goat and some newborn is gonna break the scoring record in a lakers jersey? Makes sense.

100 points; game 50: 44; points average; 55 rebounding:: etc etc wilt unbreakable

How many coaches did he get fired? Nobody will ever catch that record.

💯

YEAH AND LEBRON WILL NEVER FIGHT BRUCE LEE ... HAHA THINK ABOUT IT ( MAYBE JACKIE CHAN THOUGH )

At all cost you say. He is a great ball player but he is not a God. You worship God not a man.

@@waynejohanson1083 will you just shut up you NPC, I am Muslim so does Kareem, I don't worship a human Being Unlike you

@@Synclon I said God not Jesus. Seems to me you hate Christianity how tolerant of you. I do not hate you, and I never in my post said anything about the Muslim faith, in fact I have many friends who are Muslim. By the way Muslims like Jesus too. He is in the Quran. Yet you come at me with all this hate. I like and respect Kareem too, my point is not to worship people and make idols out of them. So I can be tolerant towards you, maybe you can be tolerant towards me and Jews too.

If you ask both of those guys they will tell you they got a few assists passing the ball to Kareem and watching him skyhook teams to death. He made their jobs easier.

It was good to see Oscar get a chance to finally contend for a championship when the Royals traded him. With Kareem in the middle Robertson though in the twilight of his career was just the type of heady floor general the Bucks needed. Basically someone who could get the ball to Kareem so he could go to work in the paint. Jabbar and Oscsr worked well together. Kareem carried the load, Oscar provided a second option.

Same than Kareem with LeBum.

@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 naaah Kareem turned up for the game and said more than a sentence and was gracious

@Slipstreamz I agree it's over he can chill out without the press intrusion

@Slipstreamz Kareem Abdul jabber career scoring record seem unbreakable;; LeBron James scoring seems more unbreakable;; no college basketball; fountain of youth pills

😔🙏🏽

David Stern. Dr. Buss. 😔🙏

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Jerry West & Gail Goodrich deserve credit for that title also.

@@Davivd2 Jerry West already has a statue outside the arena

Jerry is the Logo does he need much more than that??

@@gregorythomassr5485 the NBA doesn't acknowledge that he's the logo so the don't have to pay him royalties

@@melvinhhcp3615 Lakers didn't want a Championship in LA until Wilt joined them, that's the fact.

It just hit me...Lebron is about to stand amongst them..WILD!!!!!!!!!

And 95 more unbroken records.

against way smaller construction workers

@@krioni86sa cry

@@krioni86sa Average height in WIlt's time was only an inch shorter than today's and they were measured barefoot back then. Plus being a construction worker is harder than being an IG model or Twitter troll like today's players are.

@@eternalbossdoomsday Exactly

He would've raised the bar if 1. He had 6 championships, 2. 5 MVPS, 3. Didn't stat pad in games where his teams were well ahead or far behind . 4 actually played in an era defense was more of a priority to stop the best players. If Jordan played in this Era and not the Era of the bad boy Pistons and Boston Celtic great front court the record would be his by a mile.

@@imperiousrex1873 Kareem had 6 MVPs which is more than your hero Jordan's 5.

@Eternal Boss Doomsday Yeah idiot I know that I'm a Lifetime Laker fan dolt. I actually saw Kareem win championships unlike you who didn't even see a Jordan to judge how great he was.

@@imperiousrex1873 You are making a lot of assumptions based off of nothing but your own mental and emotional instability. Judging by your childish response I'd bet I am older than you and saw more than you. You can keep crying if it makes you feel better about Kareem having more MVPs than Jordan though.

@Eternal Boss Doomsday What am I crying about, boy? You make no sense. I'm not crying about anything, just taking my beliefs just like you are. Did you see Kareem at the peak of winning his Finals MVP awards? I have

And Reagan 😂

And the Governor😉

if i remember right he made 1 out 18 threes he ever attempted

in LeBron's case I don't mind the three pointers because he was hitting threes at an alright percentage even before the NBA went super soft around 2016 and disallowed defense which lead to guys being able to spam threes unrestricted. If some guy comes along who makes a 20 year career out of spamming threes and averaging 30+ ppg against non-existent defense that's a different story. With the current rules I'm sure some guy like that will come along, maybe he's some 7 footer with an amazing shooting ability, who can capitalize off both his height giving automatic free looks and the lack of defense being allowed to breath on him

No threes. And being a center, his teammates had to feed him the ball. And he still has the highest FGM to this day.

Assist kicking the ball out to wide open 3 point shooter is overrated as an assist but Lebron is an above average passer nevertheless.

Magic 🏀👍🇺🇸

But he isn't the best scorer and neither is the best passer, others have been better than him.

Too ball dominant, the only way to accomplish that is to have the offense hinge off of you, and that's not how the game is supposed to be played, their were others athletic enough to complete this feat but they treated basketball as a 5 man per team sport not a one hinge and four cornered 🚪 sport

​@@MelodicAssymetry445thank you. You nailed it. It's an accomplishment because he stayed in good physical condition and stayed determined mentally. Discipline uncommon. As you stated not every player needs to control the ball as much. Kareem could have scored many more points through the early mid 80s but he was a different league. The Kareem was the half court offense but they had other weapons as well. Winning the championship always came first for Abdul-Jabbar. From UCLA on...team first

He would be on the bench. Small ball era.

@@fantasysportsanalysistfsa8938 tell that to Giannis

@@fantasysportsanalysistfsa8938 you’re delusional, wilt would still dominate

@@pkboolean Not in the era of super athletes. He played in a time when the league was 75% white. There were only 5, 7-footers in the whole league. A bunch of flabby guys with full-time jobs because basketball was not paying enough money. In this era, all they do is train, work out, and have the best facilities. Also, the NBA has the best players from around the world like Luka, Jokic, Dirk, and Giannis. Wilt played only against the best America had to offer at that time. He's not scoring a 100pts in this era with 40rebs, and 10 blocks. Sorry, but it's not happening. You are the delusional one.

@@fantasysportsanalysistfsa8938 he doesn’t need to score 100 points to be considered dominating. He was basically a bigger Greek freak and he would be averaging similar numbers

possible, we're asking him to play another 10 years though lol. I'm looking at his career season totals, in his prime younger days he used to score about 2000 points per season due to him playing more games. During his Lakers career where he plays less games due to load management, he's averaging about 1500 or less per season. So if he were to stay at his current pace right now that's another 8 years or so to hit 50K. Would be amazing to see it happen though, it would put his record at such a high mark

He was like 60 pounds heavier than kareeem

@@TheGOAT-dr1sq Lucky for Kareem he was able to duck prime Wilt. Kareem never met any Mt Rushmore center prime for prime Kareem either saw people like Wilt when they were near retirement or he saw Hakeem, Ewing, D Rob when they were NBA babies. Kareem is definitely overrated as hell

​@@kingkoopa2831 That's funny. No center came even close to facing the quality of big men Abdul-jabbar routinely dominated. He scored 50 points on Wilt Chamberlain right there at the Forum in 1972. Who else was doing that? Kareem put 48 on prime Bill Walton. In 1986 he had game of 43 points and 46 points on Akeem Olajawon. Oh if he was preprime than so was Abdul-jabbar in the early 70s when he outplayed Chamberlain. What center faced a list of centers better than Kareem? Wilt Chamberlain, Nate Thurmond, Bob Lanier, Willis Reed, Artis Gilmore, Moses Malone, Elvin Hayes, Bill Walton, Walt Bellamy, Wes Unseld, Hakeem Olajawon, Patrick Ewing, Ralph Sampson, Dan Issel, Bob McAdoo. No need to knock these guys every name on there is a Hall of Famer. It's Chamberlain who had questionable competition if anyone did. Russell was 6-9 220lbs. Other than Thurmond and Bellamy who did Wilt see in his prime. Kareem would have given him problems at his best and vice versa. They were both great. Next time be serious please

@@smokeyjoe795 Man stop. Kareem faced old Wilt who retired 3 years after Kareem was drafted. prime Wilt would have destroyed Kareem and he faced Hakeem and Ewing when they were little NBA babies. Kareem didn’t play any Mt Rushmore center prime for prime. Naming Nate Thurmond averaged a career 15ppg, Artis Gilmore 17ppg, Walt Bellamy was also past his prime when Kareem was drafted. Next time you be serious. Kareem didn’t play ANY Mt Rushmore center prime for prime Won 1 title in the 70s before Magic carried him

​@@kingkoopa2831 You seem bitter that Kareem torched Wilt in head to head match-ups. Is it Kareem fault that Chamberlain was older? Should Kareem not have scored 50 on him? It's competition. The fact that Jabbar dominated Chamberlain in his older years doesn't make him greater than Wilt. They played different styles and different eras. The NBA Chamberlain entered was primitive compared to what Alcindor had to deal with. Jabbar never shrunk from the pressure of the playoffs. He wasnr scared to go to the foul line in the clutch. He delivered well past his prime. Finals MVP at age 38. No excuses necessary Wilt saw it. All this is probably over your head. Clutch? What's that?

Democratic crowd. Reagan and Duekmagin were Republicans. Bradley was Democrat.

Yesssssss😅

The ring would come later, but I get where your coming from.

Wilt would have been #1 if he hadn't stopped scoring in the middle of his career.

Crazy part is if the NBA kept blocks as an official record during the entirety of Wilt's career he would have been the all time leader in blocked shots by a mile.

@@kingkoopa2831 That's right!

@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 💩💩💩

​@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 That's true remember though Kareem could have scored alot more as well in his later years if he had been on a weaker team. The Lakers were contending for championship so personal stats take a backseat.

Wilt in his prime was fast as John Wall and had a higher vert than MJ…. And he benched 600 pounds

Wilt was a beast!!!!

Bron smashed the record yesterday

Kareem 👍🏀🇺🇸

Kareem is still better than LeFraud though.

LeBron got twice as many turnovers as Kareem as well. Just sayin. Basketball is a complicated game in a sense. Different positions, different teammates, different eras. I think Kareem wanted his teammates to be able to make plays so that they could be championship caliber. If Jabbar at age 35+ could have probably scored 30 a game but if he had to do that he understood the Lakers wouldn't win in June. 1 man shows weren't producing Rings in the NBA s greatest decade the 80s.

Nobody cares

@@Chipper33000tffnobody cares about you said as well

@@Chipper33000tff Kareem stiffed you for an autograph years ago? Get over it.

@@JAWrightonline that’s what happened 😂😂

Yeah Wilt only spent half of his career as his team's lead shot taker and then he accepted a different role. Before he accepted the new role he was averaging 40 pts per game in season and 33 in the playoffs.

Kareem played the game on a higher mental level than Wilt. Abdul-Jabbar played for John Wooden. He understood that he could score 50 pts at will but that is not the best way to win as a team. Wilt's ego could never allow him to see Kareem never cared to take every shot so he could achieve personal glory at the expense of team balance. Abdul-Jabbar was able to balance being the #1 option scoring while also keeping his teammates involved. He knew the double team was coming, find the open man. Wilt was jealous of Kareem plain and simple. Who had more to give? I don't know. Too late to ask any one of the coaches Chamberlain got fired after feuding with them. Or asking to come out of the game in game 7 of the Finals. Jabbar MVP of the finals at 38 years old. At 41 years old in 1988 Chamberlain was in attendance but he left early that day and missed Kareem sinking the game winming free throws to keep the series alive. You wouldnt pass the ball to Wilt with the game on the line. That's OK because he didn't want the ball. Jerry West was the heart of that team.

​@@eternalbossdoomsdaySo it took him 7 years to finally accept that basketball is a team game? Better late than never. Jabbar was the #1 option for his teams as well for over 17 years. He had the same pressure to produce that Wilt had but Jabbar handled the pressure rather than running away from it. There were playoff games Chamberlain hardly looked at the basket. He couldn't be trusted to hit free throws. All told despite playing with so many Hall of Fame teammates Wilt only won 2 championships.

Two out of three. Not bad.

Kareem is a classic act all the way.

Bigger does not always = Better.

Nope, not yet.

He was born on December 30th of the same year.

Little did they know what was coming

The chosen one was not born yet

@@Jemombuurrrn2228 MJ was born in 1963 sir.

It was cool for his entire career
