The Los Angeles Lakers have had no shortage of legends dawn the purple and gold over the history of the franchise. One position that has been a staple of dominance for the Lakers has been at center with no one doing it better for Los Angeles than six-time NBA champion and the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Kareem spoke with Lakers Nation over the weekend to talk about his new book, Coach Wooden And Me: Our 50-Year Friendship On And Off The Court, along with with a number of other topics. Jabbar talks at length about John Wooden, UCLA, Muhammad Ali, new Lakers regime under Magic Johnson, his thoughts on Ivica Zubac’s skyhook and if he’d take a role in the Lakers front office if asked.
