ALCINDOR JABBAR THE GREATER

Here's a video tribute to the early days of Kareem Abdul Jabbar as Lew Alcindor, a complete retrospective telling his long and extraordinary journey from 1964 to 1989.
We'll start with "Power Memorial" in New York, where he'll establish an amazing record with 71 straight wins in 1964, a team many describe as the best that ever played during
the 20th century.
Lew was head and shoulders above everyone else : too big, too strong and too good, he was simply unstoppable near the rim.
In 1966, Alcindor joins the famous University of UCLA where Hall of Famer John Wooden will teach him new tools. Impossible to guard and never seen before, Alcindor will destroy records and force the NCAA to ban dunking because of him..... With the Bruins, he'll end up winning the championship three times.
In 1969, he's obviously drafted number 1 overall in the Draft, pairing with another player quite famous in Oscar Robertson, the Big O.... From Day One, Alcindor is just too good for his age, and he'll only need three years to get to the promise land : as an NBA champion in 1971, he'll officially change his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar right after these Finals.
In 1975 Kareem leaves Milwaukee and settles in Los Angeles where he'll capture 5 championship rings in 14 Laker seasons.
These 10 minutes of exclusive footage are brought together to celebrate Kareem's 67th anniversary.
ENJOY.

I watched his whole twenty year career,he was probably the most consistantly good or great player ever,He played on an extemley high level for so long!

[@Repunza]

The man has dominated for years and years and years and years and years and years...Give him the 100% respect that he deserves!!!

[@timhoward5]

Exactly! 💯 FACTS!!! No one has dominated a major sport as long as Kareem have.

[@jamesbailey6255]

Kareem is the G.O.A.T. Michael Jordan, LB, any player you name could not compare with Kareem he was great all his life.

[@jacksmith5692]

How is the Goat 6 wins and 15 losses against the great Willis Reed? The Bucks won 304 to the Knicks 266 from 1969 to 74 and yet Alcindor/Jabbar was 6 and 15 against Willis Reed! Clyde Frazier said Willis used to muscle Jabbar who hated it. Before Willis knees went in 1971, he was 12 and 4 against Alcindor/Jabbar!

[@Ryenobal]

Greatest finesse big man ever. The skyhook was so elegant.

[@ricegoat8091]

[@brianarbenz7206]

These films don't show Kareem's greatest strength under John Wooden, which was his playing the back line of the zone press. You could not throw over it with him back there. Kareem, as Lew was the best defensive force ever in college, and was underappreciated for that.

[@josephcora3466]

kareem in his prime would destroy this generation

[@ericmoore6067]

I totally agree with you

[@KTF0]

Joseph Cora He destroyed previous generations. Even as an old man.

[@lovenlightman]

I dont think he could destroy Shaqu

Michael and LeBron may be more athletic, but no player dominated high school college and the pros like Kareem .. THE GOAT

[@James-me6dw]

Hook shot via Wooden made him unstoppable.

[@choward5430]

1.One could easily argue Jabbar as the greatest player ever. 2.Put Jabbar in today's NBA and he would destroy it. TOTAL annihilation. Why? You can't touch him!

Lewis Alcindor/ Kareem Abdul Jabbar The Greatest Center to ever play the game of basketball 🏀

[@orzicka9476]

Un superbe hommage à l'un des plus grand joueur de l'histoire. Le choix des musiques est juste parfait. Well done dude!!!!

[@BigRich1968]

wow! this was amazing , I miss the captain so much the best ever hands down.

[@KTF0]

Kareem look like he could hit the skyhook for three.

[@lloydkline1518]

Jabber only made one 3 point shot ;;

[@anthonymoody6711]

There's a reason that the SHOWTIME Lakers called this dude "Cap" as in Captain.

[@goonthreegtr]

Played against 20+ HOF players and only Moses Malone outscored him by 1 point. Kareem as a rookie on playoff avg 35 points, shot 56%, around 15 boards, assist and get no love. Now players like Kawhi and Durant are heavily promoted in the playoffs and their numbers are not even as good as Kareem as a rookie!

[@kreemfallath4391]

Kareem is my hero also he’s my favourite NBA player of all the time since I know this game ever.

[@beachstl]

MJ best Nba player of all time, Kareem best Basketball player ever!

[@naturenupe6]

Matt Kareem is best NBA player too. When Mj off was the bulls playing baseball they only won two less games. Take Kareem off the bruins, bucks or Lakers for a whole season, do you think it would only be two games difference?

[@KTF0]

Matt The most complete career ever. 3x HS, 3x NCAA, 6x NBA champion, 19x all-star. 6 MVPs, 3x College player of the year. That's the career you would make up in video games.

[@govols2214]

Matt MJ is goat but Kareem (and Wilt) are better individual players

[@goonthreegtr]

I guess if Kareem took as many shots per game as Jordan people would definitely think he is the greatest ever. This is the math if Kareem took as many shots as Jordan per game, Kareem would have over 47,000 points!!! There would be no dispute then, lol. If he didn't play college and hog the ball like Jordan, he would have close to 60,000 points in 24 seasons.

[@legendarysoldier4420]

I fully agree,at 42 years the skyhook was deadlier than ever.

wilt had better players around him,,, wilt even admitted he could NOT cover jabbar. Wilt? 6 finals - 2 titles,,, no thanks, kareem better on offense. look at points per minute.. look at FG pct,,,FT pct,,,wins,,,, wilt better rebounder: kareem nearly always was better and wilt had HALL OF FAMERS around him and still lost more than he won,,, no contest

Kareem is still the All-time leader in field goals made. In fact he has so many more made baskets than LeBron that when LBJ reach the 40,000 point mark, he will still be behind Kareem in made baskets.

[@johnfu3850]

I don't believe or want a GOAT in basketball because I want to see better and better basketball as the years progress. But if I have to choose a GOAT, it will be Kareem. I only need one reason, 38,387 points.
