Now these were what superteams looked like!! I hated that the Lakers won most of those games but I'll be damned if those weren't some the greatest games. Much respect to those Lakers teams that had the🐐s! Im glad we finally swept them for one of those 🏆! Fo five fo! 😁

@@SJO897 90s has watered down teams. They still had good players but with expansion you didn't have teams like LA, Philly and Boston, Milwaukee in the early 80s, the Spurs for a couple of years were loaded Teams great players as well as the backcourt. Just deeper overall. For example Jabbar, Worthy, Johnson, with a Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo coming off the bench. He had been a 3 time scoring champion and leage MVP. 80s squads too many weapons.
@@mja91352I think we can admit that the competition was a lot more present during the 80s. The Celtics of old were stacked and talent on other teams was spotty in Russell's era.
Not really....Kareem wasn't really himself post 1983 and magic took over at that point and worthy helped...the 80s lakers roster like the 2017 warriors were stacked as fuk otherwise magic and Kareem probably only win 2 titles together...adding worthy changed their fate as Kareem was aging and magic was passive..
@@razkable - Kareem continued to play great basketball after 1983. He was the MVP in the 1985 Finals. He was on the All-NBA team in 1983-84, 1984-85, and 1985-86. He was on the All-Defensive team in 1983-84.
This is my favorite squad. I am a child of the 80's, & a Lakers fan. I love Kareem, Magic, Worthy, and all the rest of them from that era. Pat Riley is my favorite coach. I am still very 💔 about The Black Mamba. The only mistake The Lakers did was put stinking LaBron James on the team. Otherwise I 💘 L.A. 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Kareem carried that offense the first 5 years of showtime. When the game got close everyone knew who was getting the ball. It wasnt Magic. They played great together, both unselfish but dont get it twisted Jabbar was the bread and butter.
I mean I know it's just a "highlight" video but I have to point out that you don't see any of the players crying to the ref when a foul is called out trying to "fight" someone after a lil bump or nudge.. man this generation now a days Is so soft ..
My favorite player ever. I stopped watching the NBA all together when he went to Houston cause i knew he would never win a ring.Him, Larry (my 2nd favorite player) and Magic (who introduced me to b-ball) are my favorite players ever. They trascend time!
Kareem shot the ball much better than Moses, Kareem had higher FG and FT percentages. Kareem played excellent defense on Moses and also played great team defense. Kareem blocked 7 shots and had 3 steals. Kareem won his matchup with Moses, as usual even at age 38. Barkley's great play kept the 76ers in the game, but Kareem and Magic were too good for them.
Magic and Kareem all day long 4 me and then I'd take Stockton and Malone... Pippen was too much of a sidekick , and Shaq and Kobe had personal issues.... Cap and magic best ever
The Sixers lost to New Jersey in 1984. They lost their edge. Moses wasnt as hungry as he had been. Sugar Ray Richardson a killer. The 80s was ruthless. Thats why LA and Kareem deserve respect. Its easy to get satisfied after you win a couple rings. Jabbar checking in with 6. Period.
Don't you mean greatest duo of that generation?? lolol.. MJ/Scottie, Stockton/Malone, Kobe, Shaq, Kyrie/LBJ, Wade/LBJ, Nash/Stoudemire, Robinson/Duncan LBJ/Davis etc. I would list more iconic duos but can't think of any more at the moment. or is it a series called "NBA Greatest Duos"? Sorry I didn't the other videos.
Came here after watching bdot imitating these two
Me too lol😂😂😂
We're at the same page lmao😂🤣
What killed me with bdot's video is the free throw line sky hook and when he was wide open under the basket but still did the sky hook and missed🤣🤣💀💀
Lmao butterfly effect
Jude 011 bro that shit fucking hilarious
That skyhook had for to be the highest percentage shot ever. Very rarely missed
someone actually record it, its like about 50 percent, not rarely missed but its really effective
The greatest duo, on the greatest team, in the greatest era. Purple Reign!
you think 80s is a better era than the 10s or the 90s? Thats a good debate.

Draymond green needs to watch this
Its so disrespectful ppl are comparing Draymond to Barkley
@@jamardns77 theese kids dont even know whos charles
Charles will have Draymond for breakfast any day. Twice on a sunday
Kareem still great at age 38 in this game.
The GOAT
@@7neophyte no
Kareem is the 3rd Greatest after MJ and LBJ
He played the same at 20,30,40...lol. Always slow, needed major help to win.
@@pickzkickz - You don't know what you are talking about.
Magic & Kareem are the best duo in the history of the NBA!
Yeah, Bob Cousy and Bill Russell were just chumps, even though they won the same number of championships as Magic and Kareem.

Shaq and Kobe
When Showtime was at its best, there was nothing better!!! Best basketball I’ve ever seen!!! ☮️🖖🏽
💯
The fact that no other big man in league history has utilized the sky hook since Kareem is criminal
That intense physical basketball man.God it was glorious
80s basketball is beautiful man
Magic Johnson and the one and only true KING of basketball He's Majesty THE KING KAREEM ABUL JABBAR
Magic and Jabbar are my favorite player.
Bro Barkley is a monster!!
People who say Shaq and Kobe is the greatest duo never seen these two damn 🤦🏾♂️🤯
Dick Stockton, Heinsen, KAJ Magic and Barkley & Malone... Thank u for uploading this!!
despite most people think, Charles pik years were the late 80's.
dionysis e Yup.
dionysis e ..what does "pik" mean? I know peak, and I know Pikmin, but I've never seen just pik.
@@Tcrror Although its super late, I think he meant peak!
Damm Berkeley play at another level he was so good for that era
What era would Barkley not have been good in?
If Kareem were 10 years younger in the 1980s, the Lakers would have won 10 rings!!
For sure

Bron helped us get a ring, ungrateful asshole
But what never got off the ground was Barkley, Doc, Moses.
Men barkley really move fast for a big man, he would be dominating in this gen.
How? He’s an undersized forward with no jump shot. He’s a bootleg Zion in today’s game .
@@russelwestbrick5643 L
@@russelwestbrick5643 he definitely had a jump shot

2:56 Byron Scott with cheeks in his face! lmao bruh im dead
😂😂😂😂
This is what Ben and Joel need to be, they have the potential
Its tougher because of the zone defense and lack of spacing.
Bad take. Ben Simmons couldn’t ever
Dr J was still this nasty in 86???? Jesus
Wow! Kareem and Magic vs. Moses, Dr. J, and Charles Barkley!
Jordan and Pippen
Magic and Kap
Kobe and Shaq
These in no particular order are the top 3 duos of all time and it’s not close.
Cousy and Russell? Gus Johnson and Wilt? Bird and McHale? Better to be silent and thought ignorant than to speak and remove all doubt.
The Lakers had Wilkes and Nixon later Worthy and Scott. They got open looks and one on one opportunities mainly because of #33
Barkley was amazing!
Unstoppable Duos
There's no excuse for the clarity of the tapes unless they were left out in the rain
Sir Charles is the best player to never win a ship !
Squelch STEVE NASH
@@lookingforsuntukan4671 Barkley was better than Nash
@@vamsic8616 not even a debate abt that lol
Allen Iverson imo
@@CbfwUniversity good 1
Kareem was 38 or 39 - not 37, correct?
Barkley is underrated

Came here after skip saying shaq would destroy Kareem highly disagree
Yo NOBODY can make that sky hook like that fuck me that was nice !!
Eles jogavam mais velozes e parecem ainda maiores do que os atuais. Semi deuses
Draymond talking trash about Barkley..smh
كريم عبد الجبار
Kareem abd aljbar
Crazy that Kareem was "old and fading" during this time. He was 37 here? Man barely no NBA players are averaging 20-10 past age 30
I’m not sure if anybody that ever played is “way better” than Magic.
Robert Phillips None of those guys, and certainly not Pippen, are “way better” than Magic. Seriously?
@Robert Phillips pippen? 🤣🤣🤣👍
Showtime!
+Defender80s and look at young Sir Charles, what a beast he was. I'm suprised he didn't tear any backboards in Philly years :)

Charles Barkley is low-key fast as hell
Imagine if they were in their primes at the same time?
Kareem at 39, with Magic, still not a match for Barkley and Malone
Kareem shot the ball much better than Moses, Kareem had higher FG and FT percentages. Kareem played excellent defense on Moses and also played great team defense. Kareem blocked 7 shots and had 3 steals. Kareem won his matchup with Moses, as usual even at age 38. Barkley's great play kept the 76ers in the game, but Kareem and Magic were too good for them.
They were better. What happened to Philly?
Magic johnson
bdot brought me here
Did yall see how Charles Barkley rose up and dunked over those trees!!!!!
He was good
MaxIsNicee brought me here haha
is this carles hightlight??
Charles is a huge factor
So basically all of Kareem's contested layups were skyhooks
Mashaallah
Magic=GOAT
Video clarity sucks
Jordan and Pippen. Shaq and Mamba. And that s it for me.
Magic and Kareem all day long 4 me and then I'd take Stockton and Malone... Pippen was too much of a sidekick , and Shaq and Kobe had personal issues.... Cap and magic best ever
Barkley did that put back against kareem.

The Legendary SkyHook Shot
Kareem double team
Kareem is the only player who you pass the ball to when he is double teamed. He is still going to score. He's the only one that consistently can.
They got dethroned that year by the Twin Towers.
They were like Kobe & Shaq, and LeBron & Anthony Davis.
Except far better.
The short shorts made their legs look so long. And the fact that not many people had a lot of muscle back then. Looks like a bunch of stick figures.
Basket players that had skill were usually with lean muscle. Plus, no obesity epidemic. Even Charles was lean...lol
Magic was not good at 3 point, but when he needed to shoot at 3 point he could make it…
Ingram and Ball.....this is what lakers are going for
What's up
Bron and AD
Nope
Ad y LBJ 23 Yes
Who came here after AD wearing his goggles
