The Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s created one of the biggest dynasties in NBA history, winning five NBA Championships with great players like Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and one of the best coaches ever in Pat Riley.
Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, played 20 NBA seasons with the last 14 coming with the Lakers. In 20 seasons he played with a number of teammates, and for a few different head coaches, but Abdul-Jabbar recently said which were his favorite.
In a recent interview with Maria Karvouni of Sportskeeda, Abdul-Jabbar said that James Worthy was his favorite teammate, and it is not necessarily for reasons on the court:
James Worthy and I got along very well both on and off the court.
