What killed me with bdot's video is the free throw line sky hook and when he was wide open under the basket but still did the sky hook and missed🤣🤣💀💀

The greatest duo, on the greatest team, in the greatest era. Purple Reign!

[@SJO897]

you think 80s is a better era than the 10s or the 90s? Thats a good debate.

[@ahumm8280]

Now these were what superteams looked like!! I hated that the Lakers won most of those games but I'll be damned if those weren't some the greatest games. Much respect to those Lakers teams that had the🐐s! Im glad we finally swept them for one of those 🏆! Fo five fo! 😁

[@larrydavis4019]

Richard I couldn't agree more friend. Also another reason why I loved home games was so that I could check the audience find that very familiar pair of sunglasses. If you are a fan you'll know who I'm referring to. Take care friend. 😀👍😀👍😀👍😀

@@SJO897 90s has watered down teams. They still had good players but with expansion you didn't have teams like LA, Philly and Boston, Milwaukee in the early 80s, the Spurs for a couple of years were loaded Teams great players as well as the backcourt. Just deeper overall. For example Jabbar, Worthy, Johnson, with a Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo coming off the bench. He had been a 3 time scoring champion and leage MVP. 80s squads too many weapons.

That skyhook had for to be the highest percentage shot ever. Very rarely missed

[@flynt1977]

​@@mja91352I think we can admit that the competition was a lot more present during the 80s. The Celtics of old were stacked and talent on other teams was spotty in Russell's era.

The fact that no other big man in league history has utilized the sky hook since Kareem is criminal

[@riog8082]

Magic & Kareem are the best duo in the history of the NBA

[@razkable]

Not really....Kareem wasn't really himself post 1983 and magic took over at that point and worthy helped...the 80s lakers roster like the 2017 warriors were stacked as fuk otherwise magic and Kareem probably only win 2 titles together...adding worthy changed their fate as Kareem was aging and magic was passive..

[@MR-wc9lh]

@@razkable - Kareem continued to play great basketball after 1983. He was the MVP in the 1985 Finals. He was on the All-NBA team in 1983-84, 1984-85, and 1985-86. He was on the All-Defensive team in 1983-84.

Kareem carried that offense the first 5 years of showtime. When the game got close everyone knew who was getting the ball. It wasnt Magic. They played great together, both unselfish but dont get it twisted Jabbar was the bread and butter.

[@larrydavis4019]

This is my favorite squad. I am a child of the 80's, & a Lakers fan. I love Kareem, Magic, Worthy, and all the rest of them from that era. Pat Riley is my favorite coach.

Kareem at 39, with Magic, still not a match for Barkley and Malone

[@MR-wc9lh]

Kareem shot the ball much better than Moses, Kareem had higher FG and FT percentages. Kareem played excellent defense on Moses and also played great team defense. Kareem blocked 7 shots and had 3 steals. Kareem won his matchup with Moses, as usual even at age 38. Barkley's great play kept the 76ers in the game, but Kareem and Magic were too good for them.

Charles is a huge factor

[@smokeyjoe795]

The Sixers lost to New Jersey in 1984. They lost their edge. Moses wasnt as hungry as he had been. Sugar Ray Richardson a killer. The 80s was ruthless. Thats why LA and Kareem deserve respect. Its easy to get satisfied after you win a couple rings. Jabbar checking in with 6. Period.

[@bismilahbezelbub2808]

Jordan and Pippen. Shaq and Mamba. And that s it for me.

[@shamadam1]

Magic and Kareem all day long 4 me and then I'd take Stockton and Malone... Pippen was too much of a sidekick , and Shaq and Kobe had personal issues.... Cap and magic best ever

[@kevindurant332]

Kareem double team

[@Paul15.]

Kareem is the only player who you pass the ball to when he is double teamed. He is still going to score. He's the only one that consistently can.

[@BRBallin1]

So basically all of Kareem's contested layups were skyhooks
