I was born in 1967. Kareem entered the NBA in 1969 and was Dominant. He continued to be dominant when I was in Elementary School, Middle School, High School, and he won his last Title when I graduated from college. Along the way he began playing against the Golden age Players such as Chamberlain, Baylor, West etc thru the 70s and the influx of The ABA and ended with Jordan... He also played against the greatest big men ever to play except Shaq and Russell. He is the Greatest Center to ever play....
Kareem was the best & most dominant Center DURING THE GOLDEN AGE OF CENTERS ! He was the best player by far at his position during the golden age of his position in the NBA with the most iconic and unstoppable move in the history of the sport ! Kareem playing in his prime during the 2010's & 20's & 2000's & 90's wins EVERY SINGLE YEAR LITERALLY !!!!
‘Smooth as that New England Maple Syrup” (-: Kareem’s high score is 55 in a game. Warriors really had a lot of great shooters in the 80s - Bernard King and WBF. Later Purvis Short, Chris Mullen, etc.
Same here bro!!! You can actually run his prime up to '85 for me. And he was still getting triple-teamed in the '88 playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks...
@@gl6996 GOOD POINT,💯😇 actually 1981-89 at 34 up to 42. To be honest KAREEM was still playing like he was in his 20's. Especially in 84.85.86 and 87. At age 37 and 38 and 39 still playing at a high level.. at 88 and 89. He played his Role still very well as a off the bench💪
tol jw In the 80's Shaq offensive moves would be considered offensive fouls. Shaq would'nt finish a game if he didn't developed his offensive repertoire

Kareem is definitely up there with Jordan as the greatest
Jordan is up there with Kareem. There, fixed it!!! Lol
@@gl6996 considering that kareem came first, you're right, lol
@@raymondhmuifoo11 👍🏽💯
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was probably the greatest all-around center ever played for a big man he could do it all shoot foul shots
Thanks for posting; saw that Aikido movement of Mr. Jabbar at 4:20.

The King was such a terrible name lmao. Should have just called him Captain Hook.
Andfiker it lebron james name now, the king, great name captain hook but about 48 years too late
Captain Skyhook!
This Kareem with the fro, beard and goggles is the GOAT. End of story.
His STRONGEST in his prime
@@mrboo3049 My point, exactly 👍🏽
@@gl6996
Agree💯
I mean from 69-80 that was kareem's prime.. my favorite version of him with the FRO, BEARD and GOGGLES will be 76.77.78 and 80..

Prime Kareem would b a huge problem n 2day's NBA bcuz nobody 2day could guard him plus he'd b a human fly swatter on D bcuz of his agility
Kareem best Center
Was magic out?
Did dude call it a “turn-in hook”???
Laker announcers never called him that...
Pure as that ole New England Maple Syrup? You meant Vermont? Lol
what a bad defence..Shaq against this defence would've averaged 60 a game
tol jw In the 80's Shaq offensive moves would be considered offensive fouls. Shaq would'nt finish a game if he didn't developed his offensive repertoire
tol jw no, joe berry carol super great college player and Clifford ray together would contain Shaquille O'Neal to maybe 35 points
the warriors at that time were known to have bad defence
There is no defense against Kareem.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar better player then Shaquille O'Neal
