While there will always be an argument over who is the greatest player in the history of the NBA, perhaps someone who gets overlooked is Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Abdul-Jabbar won six championships in his NBA career and was the league’s all-time scoring leader for nearly 40 years.
During the 1980-81 season, Kareem was still in his prime. Fresh off a regular season MVP Award and an NBA Championship the previous year, in which some argue his performance in the first five games was enough for the NBA Finals MVP, Kareem was still a dominant force.
