I too am going with Duncan. He was a better interior defender. He also had better footwork facing bucket or with back to bucket. He's the best power-forward I have ever seen.
@ AC Green and Kurt Rambis started at power forward. Both also 6’9. Most power forwards were much bigger at that time. Even young Horace Grant was a smaller power forward compared to many others.
As a Kobe stan, I always loved when he'd show off his passing skills, and unexpectedly start dropping dimes out of nowhere.🤣 Kobe's my all-time Point Guard. MJ at the 2, KD at the 3, KG at the 4, Shaq at the 5.
Also remember Kareem played 4 yrs of college. Lebron played no college with a 3 pt shot. Imagine if Kareem went straight to the pros from H.S ? Even if he scored 1,000 pts a year ( 4,000pts) . LeBron would NEVER touch that record. The record should be college and no college. Just like Caitlin Clark. Pistol Pete scored all his points in 3 yrs with no 3pt shot. If it was the same rules.... NOBODY would EVER break the record.
And the Boston crowd would call him the-N-word and other racial slurs too.I read his autobiography book years ago and it was an interesting read. RIP: Mr Russell
@@toddgoza3522MJ was able to develop his game with no pressure. Actually he had no pressure until he was in his 20s.......Kareem had pressure on him since he was 14 yrs old and dominated at EVERY level. That's why HE is the GOAT.

@ I wouldn’t say he didn’t have any pressure but he did improve every year from Tar Heels to the bulls say when he was in college he could only go left
Everything sounds good but you boys KNOW Detroit won the shit in 1988. David Stern just couldn’t allow the Pistons to win that Championship knowing how young and talented that were. The Pistons won 3 straight in my opinion.
I disagree about ppl my age not seeing Kareem’s body of work. We all saw (growing up in the 90s) Kareem and MJ game through ESPN Classic and NBATV (even when he’s with the Bucks). MJ is a little better….Nit by much though.
Yes it's about time Lakers retire number 4. Coop's no. 21 will be retired early 2025, a recognition that is very much delayed. What's delaying the Lakers brass from giving honor to these 2 members of the organization's greatest era?
Kareem was great no question. But MJ was the greatest. Ok Kareem had 3 championship in college. But in the pro he didn't win until. Oscar Robertson. That in so many people list have him as there goat. Got trade to the Lakers. Magic got there and who became the face of the league. Magic Johnson. They didn't say Kareem and Lakers. They said magic and the Lakers. That he was a big part of those championship yes no question. MJ was the best player in the league were both were in the league winning championship. MJ was just the along superstar.
@@khaelz Yeah I agree Pippen ain't on those dudes level but he far from a sidekick. Pippen is an all time great. My main point is everybody needs great players, great coaches around them, even Jordan.
Kareem played 1 season without Oscar he took the Bucks from last to 2nd in the East Magic became the face of the league due to NBA new marketing but Kareem was a star movies tv appearances and first player with a signature shoe
@@louiehernandez1477Pippen was a sidekick Kareem Oscar and Magic were franchise players that teams built around nobody was building around Scottie Pippen
@@MrOctober44 o brotha, so if you hear 2 people talking in the dark, and they sound the same, you wont say who sounds like who? sounding alike is not about age.
Pure class I love seeing these guys that I watched in the 80’s and 90’s. I’m 70 now.
Bug game james class act. One who i admired his game growing up watching his body of work🫡
"The older you get you wanna hear that shit!" 1:00 HAHAHAHA best line ever!🤣
🤣
That means you're still relevant. So it means a lot.
Big game James. One of the greatest nicknames ever.
That 80’s ball was straight up classic! ✊🏿
James is a cool cat. I liked him back then, I like him even more today. Great interview.
34:09 MJ story
36:15 Kobe story
Came to the comments for this. Thank you.
You're a legend.
Thanks
I always loved Worthy’s power dribble.
Peace! What James says about Kareem is absolutely 💯!
BIG GAME JAMES 🔥🔥🔥
Scott needs to interview Magic
Big Game James my 2nd favorite player of all time!!! The original prototype power forward!!!
He wasn't a power forward.
mad respect for B Scott still calling his Cap
I too am going with Duncan. He was a better interior defender. He also had better footwork facing bucket or with back to bucket. He's the best power-forward I have ever seen.
All subjective worthy baseline move was unstoppable
Worthy played small forward
@ @ 6’9 humph interesting

@@teamcaveman I had to think about it but you right!
1of my top 5favorite Lakers
I can’t wait to buy and read that book.
Still is underrated with all of his accolades. Great episode 🔥
So incredibly fast on the first step. He was around a defender before they could blink. One of my absolute favorite players.
Bill Russell 🙏🏼
B. Scott 🏀🏀🏀😁🔥 I grew up playing basketball with your cousin from Archdale in Detroit Westside 🔱 Knights 🇺🇸 Showtime 🔥🔥🔥
S/o to Big Game James. One of my grandpas fav players. I remember he said he went to the same high school with his mom
I love these old school players and hearing them talk, grew up watching them. 👍
Great interview. Big Game James.
Mama Worthy laced Chic with an ism! “The jello is jiggling”
Excellent interview
GREAT show gentlemen!😉👍🏾👊🏾
Damn, in college Worthy was a complete BEAST completely unguardable.
This is a good one 🔥
THE REAL JAMES OF THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS
7 x NBA All Star. Hall of Famer. And a nice guy as well.
25:49 " HAAAAANNNKK!!!" 😂 😂
Neat shout out to Kurt Rambis at 13:58.
Worthy has the radio voice. Cool dude.
10:55 As a longtime laker fan who grew up with chick. This was a highlight. 😊
The good ole days.
Cousin Mamba Cobra Knights 🔱🇺🇸🔥😁🏀
Ted was also a pilot during world war 2 and Korea
App sounds like a great idea Big Game. Can’t wait for the book.
Bill Russell is king !
Byron's top 5 exactly same as mine.
Kobe had Big Worthy thinking about if he had insulted him or something. 🤣😂
😂😂
Dope interview
As a Kobe stan, I always loved when he'd show off his passing skills, and unexpectedly start dropping dimes out of nowhere.🤣 Kobe's my all-time Point Guard. MJ at the 2, KD at the 3, KG at the 4, Shaq at the 5.
What is that big Lakers cassette? Is it a speaker?
Yes, that is Bumpboxx Speaker! All the guest signed it and we will give it away soon!
Kobe had Mamba Mentality his entire life. That's who he was. 🐍♾️
Kareem 100% the greatest/best basketball player ever to pick up a ball.
ya got to get KG on here
Worthy worthy worthy my dad would say that
a clever guy
nice guy
smooth player

If it was the same rules.... NOBODY would EVER break the record.
90% of Kareem’s points mattered. 90% of LeFlop stats are padded trashtime points
Them breaking in house and leaving shit was wild. I actually heard about a tv show.
And the Boston crowd would call him the-N-word and other racial slurs too.I read his autobiography book years ago and it was an interesting read. RIP: Mr Russell
@@kerry-j4mBoston fans are relentless
@@toddgoza3522 And some of them are racists too.
That 80's Laker's team would've killed any Lakers team from any era! 💯
My favorite Chick Hearn “chick-ism” for Worthy? The Leapin’ Leaner
James is funny
The reason y we say Jordan because cap was so tall it seems easier for him.. which is not fair to him.. ijs
Cap dominated on all three levels high school college & nba
@@toddgoza3522MJ was able to develop his game with no pressure. Actually he had no pressure until he was in his 20s.......Kareem had pressure on him since he was 14 yrs old and dominated at EVERY level.
That's why HE is the GOAT.

@@toddgoza3522MJ by far the greatest‼️
He really said ad could play back then 😂😂😂
Worthy reminding everyone that real players can be severely injured and come back the next year (see: Kawhi)
Tim Duncan has 5 rings. Not 4.
@33:00 I agree with James... I have Kareem as the goat.... MJ 2nd...Wilt 3rd
Why's his nickname Clever?
Everything sounds good but you boys KNOW Detroit won the shit in 1988. David Stern just couldn’t allow the Pistons to win that Championship knowing how young and talented that were. The Pistons won 3 straight in my opinion.
Who's that #4?
B Scott
How can you say the game is soft when the players are playing the game
BEAT THEM CELTICS 🎉🎉🎉
Kobe not a Basketball god like Mike but made sure to maximized what he got.
Yes he is he's better than mike
Mike is the bootleg expansion weaker era Kobe
@@diegochavez6203 Bootlegs come after the original. Kobe learned everything from Mike, and Kobe still wasn't quite as good.

Ummm Tim Duncan has 5 Rings! But carry on
40 year old Kareem in 87 not doing anything with 01 Shaq😂😂cmon
Micheal JORDAN is the GOATEST THATS EVER BEEN GOATED!!!!!
I probably take Duncan over Malone because “the mailman” needs Stockton to get a basket lolz
eyy
2001 better bro just say it you know you want to
Smh

I also think Jordan is The G.O.A.T. As far as Kareem needing Oscar and Magic is true but how many titles did Jordan win without Pippen?
@@louiehernandez1477 Pippen not on same level as Kareem, Oscar, or Magic. Pippen was the sidekick. Those 3 were 1a and 1b.

Stop race baiting guys 🙈🙈🙈 Don't play the victim. It's the 2020's
why does James Worthy sound like John Salley
No he doesn't
John Salley is younger so John Salley sounds like Worthy.
