NBA Useless Information & The Laker Girls (1987)

[@cooper482011]

Paula Abdul was so happy when The Jacksons approached her to perform with them on tour and when Janet Jackson ask her to choreograph her videos. The rest is history. Abdul lives in a plush mansion.

It wasn't just to perform with them on tour - they approached her to choreograph their 'Torture' music video and then when that went well, they asked her to choreograph their 'Victory' tour. But yeah, super cool how things worked out for her. One of the only Laker girl success stories!

Where’s PA in this video?

[@porterhouse1974]

Poor girls 45 a game and not paid for rehearsals. Things have changed, they now get 85 a game, paid by the hour for rehearsals and make money for every appearance.

85 a game is ass wtf that's it? you can get more busting tables

[@danhantheman]

85 x 82 games/season is like 6-7 grand

He was the top scorer of the decade of the 80s.
