SHOWTIME LAKERS MEMORIES HOSTED BY KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR & MICHAEL COOPER w/Guest Coach Pat Riley

[@wardaledillard8553]

Kareem, great, simple ,just great

[@lexbeltran1354]

Michael Cooper should be in the basketball hof👍

[@Daniel_AurA]

Why would he make it into the HoF? He averaged under 9 points a game for his career. He was a good defender and all, but he was luck to play for the Lakers with Kareem and Magic. He was easily replaceable. That would be like saying Derek Fisher should be in the HoF.

[@smokeyjoe795]

@@Daniel_AurA He was an elite defensive player that could guard mutiple positions at a high level. Cooper was Defensive Player of the year in 1987 and could have won it a few other years. Larry Bird said nobody guarded him like Cooper. Offensively he morphed from a typical wingman, fill the lane catching CoopaLoops to a very good ball handler who was the backup point guard through the 80s. Then he developed into one of the best 3 point shooters in the league. They needed Cooper for every title they won. In many ways Coop was the heart and soul of the team. A glue guy. I'd say the Lakers were lucky to have him not the other way around. I would vote yes on the Hall of Fame.

Facts. Such s vital & integral Component in The Laker Cog. Prob the greatest 6Fh man ever. Could of started on any team. He was a joy to watch & taught us all so much about teamwork, & sacrifice for the betterment of The Team as a whole!

[@Ktaurus26]

@@Daniel_AurA you’re silly. Are you really comparing fisher to copper? Copper was a top five defender of his era. Your statement is blatant ignorance, he wouldn’t have been a finalist for the hall of fame this year if he was at the lower level of Derek fisher.

[@edkiely2712]

Next year it looks like for Coop in the HOF! This is just before they headed out to Maui for their 'Showtime Reunion' where they spent about a week! There are clips of the reunion on KZbin for those of you interested! They all had a blast together!

[@vasuvaddiparty751]

This is a fabulous podcast. A SoCal kid from 1971-81 in Manhattan beach and Irvine watching the Lakers those days. Kareem my favorite player all-time

[@DIYD]

[@edkiely2712]

Great stuff Coop and Kareem! Thank you! You guys were all such an important part of my childhood and I grew along with you guys till you retired. Great, great memories I'll never forget!🙏

[@maxyyyyyy2]

Great pod CAP ! Excited for the upcoming ones

[@Jbeebe6]

Hi Kareem!! I’m a big fan

[@shawnbrooks3140]

Great information about how New York is really the Mecca of basketball culture . I love it

[@americusdeville865]

Nothing in sports compares to being able to watch this coach, these players, with the Showtime Lakers, Great Western Forum, Inglewood, CA. My father worked for the city. As kids, we got a few games--not many--courtside when these Lakers would come out of the lock room at the old Fabulous Forum. True Champions.

[@j.p.2976]

What's up Cap! I'll definitely tune in to your podcasts. Love to hear the rest of this interview with you, Coop, and Coach Riley.

Salaam Alaykum Brother Kareem

[@mariovh]

Great to see & hear All of you 💜💛 All that’s missing is Coop in the HOF …

[@erichodge567]

Gotta thank these guys. Heroic basketball.

[@jermo1213]

This is amazing! This not having hundreds of thousands of views shows that America is fucked!

[@norwardharris1937]

Thank you all for sharing !

[@harjitnatt8087]

Great podcast Capt Kareem #33. Thanks

[@Useedees]

Thank you for sharing

[@eliotschickler6948]

Very compelling!

[@edkiely2712]

Kareem! If you read this- do a podcast on the reunion in Maui! Looks like you guys had an absolute blast! We fans sure enjoyed seeing the clips of you guys singing, dancing, and your "walk-through!" But, yeah,...maybe if you can snag a teammates or two and talk about the reunion, we would love it! Thanks Kareem!

I was born in 68 but I read & learned the History of The 60s via The Good Old Library at now closed down Lake Lavish Elementary in little tiny Salem, Or I escaped from their just 2 years ago & have been in LA sauce The Summer of 2020 Those books represented my education and a platform for learning that was different then any other kid in my school. I'd say dream sports at school. It became my passion and a vital form of escape that took me away from the struggle/s of The 70s My Brother & Sister were adopted for a period of like 6-8 years. My Bro learned about Basketball & he placed it in my hands at a mere 5 years old. I think I leaned toward hoops, baseball, then football. I think reading The Jerry Kramer Book of The Packers really intrigued me. I developed a fondness for Coaches via that book and Coach Lombardi. After reading that book the idea of playing & practicing Football became much more paramount but never took the place of Basketball. Special Note:: My Fav reads were Cap at Power memorial & UCLA then Magic & Larry took Center stage so on and so forth. From that point on I placed a lot of emphasis on playing & practicing Basketball..I'd play through a lack of energy pretending I was Larry while incorporating Magic & Isaiah. When I combined those 3 I became formidable and no one in my age group could hang with me. It was crazy. Such an honor & privilege to grow up in that Era. Wouldn't trade it in for anything in the world! Great Podcast. I prob enjoyed it as much as the 3 of you. I turn 54 and they said 4 years ago I'd need a new knee I'm 3 years. I started exploring options like weight loss. I lost 60 LBs in just 3 months & I'm feeling much better especially in The LA climate. Could not of done this in Oregon. Love Ya All. Continued Longevity, Health, Success! Cheers! Ttyl

5-23-24 Showtime Lakers Memories/Skyhook Podcast, This Brooklyn resident just noticed this website.Thia is coming from a longtime Knicks fan since Junior HS.I didn't realize that Kareem had metal hips.That Coach Adolph Rupp sounded tough.Kareem appears to be enjoying himself.Also I didn't realize that Pay Riley had participated in a variety of sports. Signed, Keith P.Cooper

[@Raytheboy0910]

🔥 🔥🔥🔥

[@dnyl1412]

Kareem starred in The Game Of Death with The Legendary Bruce Lee just before Kareem started NBA season 👍

[@elvispresley5921]

Cap has his own fuggin channel????? Sub'd ! Hey Cap , I should tell you..... I am writting a book about Larry Bird and it has all you guys in the NBA at the time , especially MY Lakers ! It's called " I'm STILL pissed Larry Bird ! ". ... From a Laker fan who used to hate you ! ". Will be finished inside a year now. From sum-1 who disliked Larry Joe enough to NOT watch him , when he played. Then , caught up on youtube...years later..... is the basic premise but has much more to it. I really hope you read the comments. Coop , Cap , all you guys are in it...ALOT , cuz YOU were MY team...Lakers! OFC , I can't end the comment without saying.... THANK YOU KAREEM FOR SOME OF THE BEST NBA MEMORIES OF MY LIFE-TIME ! STARTING WITH YOU & WILT ! TY TY TY TY TY TYVM !

[@Superfreq69]

I hope you ask about the series, "Winning Time". How accurate was some of it? Did Riles like Adrian Brody playing him?

[@Najee206]

Hello captain

[@hakeemolajuwon4352]

Remember the time I dominated all of you and the rest of your team in 4 straight games at age 23?!

[@spencer9276]

Lol why you wait for now for all this lol

[@ManuelGalvez-m9f]

Coop is never going to be in the hall of fame its not happening but the Laker organization should retire his number #21

[@RedezBash]

I think you should do a video remembering the lost lives of the people who died after you said the Philly Muslim mafia weren’t real Muslims , I feel it don’t get talked about enough

[@danytoob]

Such a shame that history is relegated to only those with the disposable resources to spend. Pay me to hear more. Sigh.

[@bloxfuji272]

4# greatest player of all time

[@JAWrightonline]

Not #4 but #1!

[@pablofreshcobar8122]

Kareem you're a legend in basketball on of the goats. But your political takes are horrendous please stay out of politics

[@JoeP44]

Kareem’s views indisputably represent the overwhelming majority of the American public. Your legendary career on the court has been surpassed by your noteworthy contributions to society following your retirement as player - which are even more important and have been justifiably recognized for decades including receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, being a 5 time Columnist of the Year and having the NBA Social Justice Champion Award named in your honor. Thank you, Cap, for all that you continue to do by speaking out for marginalized minorities and keep making a difference! 💜💛
