The incredible collection of players around them included James Worthy, Norm Nixon, Jamaal Wilkes, Michael Cooper, Bob McAdoo, Byron Scott, Kurt Rambis and A.C. Green among others. Those Lakers were part of the greatest NBA rivalry of all times: the 80's version of Lakers vs. Celtics that marked and era and revitalized the league making it famous around the world.
- Abdul-Jabar spent 14 of his 20 seasons with the Lakers and in that time he earned 3 Season MVPs (1975-76, 1976-77 and 1979-80) and one Finals MVP (1985). He also led the league in rebounds once (1975-76) and 3 times in blocked shots (1975-76, 1978-79 and 1979-80). He was selected for 10 All-NBA Teams (6 First Teams), 7 All-Defensive Teams (3 First Team) and 13 All-Star Games.
