i love your videos
I love your videos dude, can you make a slight change in them? When you are talking can the music be turned down so that it is easier to listen to?
Basketball Examined Hey can you do a video on Kevin McHale's efficiency??
I think his post play is underrated
Basketball Examined great video man!
Basketball Examined You should do one of these videos about Wilt.
Most of the clowns on ESPN don't know anything about basketball prior to the 1990s
Many here on YT don't either.
Shit anything before 84 didn't exist lol
They are lost on espn bias and don't know nothing about the 80 neither.
Facts#
They don't know anything about basketball post 1990 either lol
I feel like 99% of basketball fans know nothing about Kareem's public perception in the 1970s, he was viewed as a "dark, brooding Muslim" by mainstream America at this time, people did not know what to think of him. People in Milwaukee always felt betrayed that they drafted 'Lew Alcindor' & he rejected them by turning to "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar." By the late 1970s he had almost taken on a villain role in the NBA. It was truly his appearance in the movie 'Airplane' that turned his public perception around, people were blown away that he could be the type of guy to smile and make jokes. I also think most people are unaware how close he was to Wilt Chamberlain in the 1960s as a teenager, even dating young women at that age thanks to Wilt. Also I think most people don't know about Kareem's house burning down in the early 80s while he was not home, he lost his entire jazz vinyl record collection that he had built his entire life, and every single basketball award he had ever won to that point, which devastated Kareem deeply. The fire led to his marriage falling apart very quickly as I think Kareem always felt like his wife somehow could have done more to save the house since she was there when it happened.
Thanks for the insight
Kareem should be the GOAT based on all his trails and tribulations. Michael Jordan was marketted better but Kareem is the true GOAT and he was robbed with the 1980 Finals MVP but because Magic Johnson was more marketable he won the MVP & everyone hypes that Game 6 performance so much, Stephen Curry had a great game 4 performance in this year Finals but no one cares, I dont get why Magic performance was so significant if Kareem was the one that carried them & got injured in game 5 & played with a mess up ankle despite of that giving the Lakers an opportunity for a Game 6, I read in the insidehoop.com blog that the voters wanted Kareem as the MVP but admit that Magic was more marketable & dats why they voted for Magic. Its a damn shame Kareem still hasnt gotten a job as a coach yet.
his personally life does not matter when it comes to basketball....all that matter if he can ball...man he can ball.
Anthony Celestin In my opinion Kareem is the 3rd best player ever
all that matters is money in the end... look at any sport, business, or organization and you can regularly find players, people, actors, movies getting ripped off due to popularity and money... I'm not a warriors fan, but do you really think an inferior cavs team can come back from being down three games in the nba finals to win it all...? the answer is not a chance in hell... I'm a ref, and the amount of fake fouls being called randomly for the cavs in "key" moments was absurd... and when it was controversial they would never show the replay... and on the other hand the warriors players were getting grabbed, pushed, and hand checked the entire game... then green gets ejected after being instigated... riiiiiiggggghhhht... the nba only cares about not hemorrhaging money, so they have to create a "rivalry", because the warriors are so dominate and the league is afraid of going back to the dark ages before bird and magic (and the players dont complain, because the better the league does, the larger their contracts are)... its sad that nothing is sacred anymore... i just hope basketball gets the security in the usa that soccer has in europe (which still has problems with corruption)... hopefully then the nba won't have to play favorites with players and teams in order to pull views... big reason why i can't watch too much of the nba/ take it seriously...
I get pretty tired of the GOAT argument anyway...no one wins a championship alone. Injuries matter. Competition in the division matters. Even great players have ups and downs within a career. You can't mix eras. Jabbar is one of the giants of the game.
I agree i have just settled for Generational best debates. Russell, Kareem, Magic, Jordan, Kobe Lebron, and now todays under 25 stars are all differint eras so the can't be compared with any real reason. Even comparing Jordan to Magic is hard cause their primes were played in a differint era despite having a career overlap. Magic never won post expansion and Jordan never won pre extension so their careers are hard to compare with any real result.
dirk against the heat 🙄
Championships is a team stat.
Dirk did it Hakeem did it wade did it
More teams = less talent on more teams.

@Brandon Martin tf you mean hurt? He had a 2nd degree groin strain😂. Its a 2-3 week injury. He went into last year at 33 yrs old. Dont compare lebron to Kareem, Kareem wins that one 12 outta 10 times. More titles, more MVPs, more points...
@Brandon Martin Go back and look at those 80s Celtics with 5 Hall of Famers, the Detroit Bad Boys, the Olajuwon-Sampson Rockets and Michael Jordan on the rise. You tell me. Less teams meant more talented rosters
@Brandon Martin yea it does moron. You disagree all you want, im right. Less teams = more concentrated teams not watered down by expansion drafts & free agency. Its not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing, its simple math.
This is why I love this page. You actually did research. These people get on TV and say anything. I love how you just spit straight facts to bust up the nonsense they be talking.
Kingstyles05 TV is all about hot takes. They'd say Joel Embiid is better than Kareem if it meant ratings
Kingstyles05 facts man! Like they'll say some dumb mainstream narrative that you'll hear on the internet like "Pistons got OLD when Jordan finally beat them" but they never actually did the research and look up the ages cuz the ages of 3 NOTABLE players: Isaiah Thomas - 29, Joe Dumars - 28, Dennis Rodman - 27. Now Lambeer was old but the 3 main guys were still young and only reaching the peaks of their prime but the media will never show you these age stats of the Pistons, they'll just say "They were old"
KD35Beast old coming off winning back-2-back titles. Lol Cowherds the bitter Bronsexual that started that nonsense. Actually tried to diminish all 5 teams the Bulls beat in the Finals and the legendary teams they had to go through to get to the Finals. He’s a dipshit.
Yeezys' R'Gay dude literally they say Jordan had a super stacked team which is crazy lol cuz his second best scorer Pippen averaged under 17 PPG in playoffs in 2 out of his 6 rings while K Love averaged like 16 PPG this years playoffs and 19 pts and 11 rebs in the finals but the media will say Pippen provided "lots and lots of SUPERSTAR help to carry Jordan" but they'll say "Kevin Love was a trash bum this year"
KD35Beast Mjs team wasn't stacked? Do some research before commenting that ignorant ass shit💀💀. You actually just compared Scottie Pippen to Kevin Love? Ok, lets just stop there.
It seems like Kobe and Kareem are not talked about enough because they were not "personable" people or "likeable" amongst media
Kobe and that girl in Colorado...
Kareem is nowhere near the asshole that Kobe was or still is. Try comparing Kareem to someone else, like Tim Duncan, Marshawn Lynch, Duane Thomas, or Miles Davis.
@Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 Right. She wanted the D..... just didn't want it through the back door!
That's not true at all. Kareem was an asshole to fans and the media his entire career. It's a big reason why he had trouble finding work as a coach once he retired.
Joseph Wright Miles Davis was a known pimp. He did some messed up stuff
The biggest misconception is one that 2k doesn't understand. He wasn't good at threes yet My sister was making 3s with him

Chris Broussard went from the biggest W to the biggest L after one false report on Kawhi Leonard
It was a slow buildup for me. But yeah, that report definitely was the straw that broke the camel's back.
He has been a big L to me for the last 2 years.
Kareem was the undisputed POTD of the 1970s and only NBA player ever to win 5 MVPs in a decade
Kareem is the best to play center without question.... The real GOAT!! The man won 71 high school games in a row.. 88 and 2 in college.. Too many awards as a pro to mention. He would crush anyone in the paint in his prime no question....INSANE!!
shaq would overpower him in the paint
Wilt was the most dominate center or player in NBA history and dominated Kareem to win his second ring when he was ten years older and was not close to his prime because of injuries. Nobody loves Goliath.
Do people know that kareem abdul jabbar won the NBA championship in 1971 with the Milwaukee bucks which they defeated the Washington Wizards
4-0 he named was Lew Alcindor before he changed his name to kareem abdul jabbar and he was the NBA finals MVP. It took Lebron James took 4 years after he got drafted to get to the playoffs and and 9 years to win his first NBA .It only took Kareem Abdul Jabbar 2 years after he got drafted to win a NBA Championship. It took Dwayne Wade 4 years after he got drafted to win his first NBA Championship
@@ValRhapsody Kareem was just slightly less physically dominate as Shaq but played more of a finesse game on offense. He was one of the best defenders of the day though and would probably give Shaq the business. It'd be a fun match up to watch no doubt though.
ValRhapsody Shaq was all power moves and bully dunks. Hakeem abused Shaq with skill, intelligence, and athleticism. Kareem would have done him worse throughout a season.
He is one of if not the greatest players ever. I love bird but I wish I would've appreciated kareem more like I did magic and bird. He was truly an incredible ball player
That skyhook is deadly.
It sure was. Frankly, he didn't have the arsenal of some other low post scorers. With his hook, he seldom needed it.
Best move ever
This comment is like saying. Water is wet.
@@Benderthegr865 Well water isn't wet so...
Also an underrated defender.
Context is everything. Kareem is arguably the greatest player of all time.
Left Hand Path dude he would get outplayed by shorter less athletic players quite often in the playoffs and in his prime!
decipherx1 he's great, one of the greatest, top 3 easy!
Only 2 finals MVP's in 20 years is not arguable. He's one of the greatest but definitely not the goat.
massdagod 6 rings and the all time leading scorer? U forgot somw stuff kid
Armando De Los Santos dude like who? Name these guys who regularly "outplayed" Kareem in his prime.
The funny part is that Lebron is going to miss the playoffs
Not for 2019. The NBA won’t let that happen. He’s their cash cow.
@@gaffle-411 This aged well lol
I grew up watching Jabbar in the 70’s. The numbers don’t lie. He was the best basketball player in my lifetime. All respect to Jordan and James they simply did not dominate on both ends of the court for as long as Jabbar did.
Kareem definitely wins the longevity argument over Jordan. James isn't in the discussion IMO.
Kareem is overrated
Jordan was domiant on both ends
Amazing that these reporters from major sports networks can spout information without proper context and face no consequence or correction. Thanks for the video!
“You can’t fathom LeBron James missing the playoffs in his prime” -Chris Broussard 2017
Fast forward two seasons and Bron is going to miss the playoffs. Either he’s past his prime or Broussard was way off.
Basketball Examined is the GOAT of all educational NBA videos in TH-cam. Keep up the good work, bro. :)
Oh my goodness, a person actually sat down, did some research and came up with a logical statement to prove their point. WOOOOOOW!
3:16 So is that why he started wearing his iconic goggles? Didn't know that!
Oh, and this is exactly why I don't watch sports shows on tv. They just have a bunch of loud mouths yelling BS using fake sources and twisted facts.
Another overlooked factor in Kareem's first season in LA is the fact that the Lakers had to give up a lot of young talent to get him (second-year guard Brian Winters, and rookies Junior Bridgeman and Dave Meyers, both first-round picks) along with Elmore Smith. That left them with a roster that consisted of a lot of NBA/ABA vagabonds who were nearing the end of the trail, an over-the-hill Gail Goodrich and have-jumper, will-travel Cazzie Russell. Not exactly the '86 Celtics...
Love it, you have by far the best videos about basketball period & I'm subscribed to a lot of big channels. I'm not sure how long it takes to make content but if you had more videos on a weekly basis I think you'd be bigger than you are now. Mike korzemba has nothing on you. You and RBthebreakthrough need yo get to know each other and link on videos you guys keep receipts and report facts. As much as Lebron fans hate to admit it your video on KD being better is true. Keep the hits coming. I'm supporting

Rbthebreakthrough is trash
Kyrie THE LEADER Irving he said you'll say that.
Yung loud, while this is a very thorough channel in terms of basketball analytics, let's not forget about "Andy Hoops" ~ "NBA got game TV" and "Jon Duncan"
You're a bum if oyu think that KD is the better player
james learing nice try loser
As LeBron misses the playoffs at 34. Jabbar wins the Finals MVP at 37.
Correction, 38. Kareem was born in April 1947 and the Finals was in June 1985.
You see Lebrons team?
TY
Skoshi33 Even more impressive!
Different position, different speed to the game and different levels of athletes these days than there were back then. Far harder to be successful late in your career these days when even the worst of the worst bench players being in incredible shape
Why can't any NBA player learn the skyhook?
Lex Beltran probably since defense is played different now (other players can play more help defense) and also the rules in the post (with the 5 second rules making it harder to get position) plus the game is just played differently now. More perimeter play
Bynum was trying but said it was old fashioned or something 🤔
It isn't "cool".
Kareem has a solid case to be the GOAT !

@@Skoshi33 in Olajuwon's first two seasons he had only been playing basketball for 5 years! What happened after the first game of the 86' WCF?! Oh that's right, Olajuwon horse fucked Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Lucas, Rambis, and Kupchek one at a time and sometimes 3 at a time for 4 straight wins to eliminate the defending champ showtime Lakers! So if Kareem with 4 hall of fame starters helping, still couldn't guard Olajuwon, don't act like a young Kareem would've been much different! Olajuwon was doubled and sometimes triple teamed in those games against Kareem, but the rockets couldn't double Kareem and leave Magic, worthy and Scott open cuz they would've got burned. Kareem is nowhere near as good as Olajuwon
If Kareem Abdul Jabar went to the NBA straight out of high school instead of going to college for 4 years, he'd probably be at 45,000+ points.
Karrem Abdul Jabbar is the Greatest Ever 6 MVP'S 6 CHAMPIONSHIP
BUT Not 6 MVPS in the finals. He was not the main reason for ALL SIX CHAMPIONSHIPS. No ONE has MORE than THREE final's MVPS, EXCEPT JORDAN who does have SIX final's MVPS.

@@herbertnelsonjr.9899 The finals MVP doesn't necessarily mean you're the main reason the team won. Don't you dare tell me Iguodala was more important than Curry, Klay, and Draymond
All that context failed to explain how a player on a losing team is allowed to be named the MVP. Imagine the shit Jordan would catch had he won the award in '87
This is the best review I have seen!!! You need to be on ESPN or start your own network. Keep up the good research and work!
Videos like this is why mainstream hates the internet and TH-cam. Guys like you actually do research! Good job. Because of your video, after 45 years of life, I just found out that up until 1980, the Bulls were considered in the Western Conference. Interesting. Interesting because supposedly the pick the got Magic Johnson was based on a coin flip between Chicago and L.A. I can see how that was possible now.
Makes me laugh though. We almost had Magic and not Jordan. With the conference change, that would've pitted Magic against Bird in the East rather than in the Finals. To have Dr. J, Bird and Magic in same conference???
I need a beer...
Although ideally the Lakers should've made the playoffs that year... realistically speaking, a team that is BELOW 0.500 had a below average regular season. Even though the Lakers rightfully deserved a playoff seed, they were still 40-42 which is clearly below league standards.
In my opinion, the real reason why the Lakers were 40-42 in 1975-1976 is really due to the retirement and departure of Jerry West. Even though he only played 31 games in 1973-1974 Regular Season (which was his last season), the Lakers still finished that year with a 47-35 record.
Once West retired after 1973-1974, the Lakers the following season were below 0.500 despite their best player at the time Gail Goodrich playing 72 games in 1974-1975. The following season after that, in 1975-1976, the Lakers went 40-42 despite one of their best players (Gail Goodrich) playing 75 games that year and despite the addition of Kareem Abdul Jabbar that year playing all 82 games.
Then in 1976-1977, Bill Sharman switches into a new role from being the head coach to being the franchise executive. Jerry West comes back but this time becomes the head coach of the Lakers. That same season, the Lakers win 53 games despite the fact that Gail Goodrich got traded to the Jazz that same year and Kareem actually had no other star teammate.
The success of the Lakers throughout the entire 70s decade completely revolved around Jerry West. Just his presence alone in the franchise is what brought Los Angeles it's relevance.
Church Service that Goodrich trade saved Kareem’s career though because one of those picks turned out to be...Magic.
Giving MVP to a player who’s team didn’t even make the playoffs is nonsense. I don’t give a fuck how good a season you had individually.
darkinferno1219 How did it "save" his career?
Yeezys’ R’Gay Right?! Kareem is the only MVP to miss the playoffs even once.
Chase when Magic came Kareem was 32 with all his MVPs already but “only” one ring to show for it. Without Magic, I HIGHLY doubt he gets the Lakers 5 championships or even plays until 41.
If Magic doesn’t come and they win 5 more rings together, there’s a good chance Kareem ends up with the same problem, pertaining to the GOAT convo, as LeBron and Wilt, lack of playoff/championship success.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar is the G.O.A.T. The stats and the championships that he won on the amateur and professional levels speak for themselves.
Kareem is not top 5

Exactly, i need to see the 1987-1993 seasons explained
hakeem was never on the top 3 centers conversation. That is because, he only showed up when MJ left and he only played well in the playoff.
"MJ got to the finals so often because the East was extremely weak."
-You idiot. 90's DETROIT, KNICKS, PACERS, HEAT and CAVS are WEAK. That summarizes your opinion.
Season MVP
Olajuwon barely make it to Top 10, thats how bad he is during regular Season. He wasn't that great every single night. You surely haven't watched him. Stop pretending you did. Robinson is always top 3 in MVP Voting because he played harder. Now time to look at numbers rather than opinion.

Kareem=🐐. (Point blank period)
Kareem is paid every time someone mistakenly says Jordan or James is better just like Bill Russell gets paid. I doubt they're mad. Just like Curry now hears how LeBron is the best player today, but Curry is paid more, sells more jerseys, his team is worth more, song lyrics are changed from "I wish I was a little bit taller to I wish I was a little bit smaller". LeBron makes his teammates better he just doesn't have any help but Curry is just lucky to be playing with all Stars. Good video. Do one to show Isaiah Thomas love. He was the best player for 3 years. Never ever got any love. The first finals he lost he was the best in that series up until the game after he got hurt. But the league wouldn't market him.

@@Crunchysopa52 did you just say lemao and mental prime in the same sentence?
Alton Rodgers to be fair to Lebron, he was also injured during this past season where he missed the playoffs.
I'm glad to see someone bring up Kareem's name changed as a factor in how, let's be honest, white America viewed him. In college there was one person, white, who just badmouthed Kareem no matter how well he played. His most frequent comment was " it takes a lot of talent for a guy seven feet tall to do what he does"(total sarcasm). He finally shut his mouth when someone asked the question "if it's so easy why can't Mel Counts do it "? Mel Counts was a seven foot tall white player with marginal basketball skills in the NBA in the '70's.
Before the game in Thomas and Mack arena, where Kareem broke the NBA career scoring record, we, the fans, gave Kareem a rousing 15 minute standing ovation. I remember seeing Magic giving Kareem a friendly push and smile. Of course, when he broke the record there was another standing 'O'. A friend of mine and i had PERFECT SEATs for the record breaking shot. After the game Magic said he had been telling Kareem that the fans overall liked him, but I don't think Kareem believed it until that game. Thomas and Mack arena is in Las Vegas and was supposed to be the home away from home for the Utah Jazz. Their attendance was disappointing in Utah coming from New Orleans, so they tried to branch out. That was the Jazz last season playing some of their games in Vegas.
They realized, with LA only 250 miles away, that was LAKER TERRITORY.
After the game Kareem said he was shocked but pleased by the ovations.
Alot these so call analyst don't pay homage to Kareem when it comes to how great he was and it's sad because all of the players they say are the GOAT are chasing his all time scoring mark to me he will always be the GOAT.
Kareem was the GOAT 🐐 for me! He was hated for his racial, political, and religious stances in the 70’s

A better discussion may be had about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar playing at least one season too many before ending his career.
As a Kareem fan, there's some truth to this belief.
Also there were fewer teams in the NBA meaning that by today's standards some of the starters would not even be in the NBA, meaning there was a greater concentration of talent.
Milwaukee was a western team back then?
Nope Mang. Yup. The region they're in is the Midwest.
Chicago was also.

Who noticed that the bulls, bucks, and pistons were all in the western conference back in 1974-1975?
Oh well, the Cincinnati Reds were in the NL West and the St. Louis Cardinals were in the East.
All three teams are in the Mid West so it make sense lol.
I did. I did.
How is clowns like Broussard and rob parker can still have a job making a baffoon outta themselves in sports blasphemy a disgrace smh.
Kareem >>> LeBron
Andrew Blackop Olajuwon> every other player in NBA history
Armando De Los Santos Lmfao. Whats your top 10?
Andrew Blackop Olajuwon, Jordan, Bird, Magic, Wilt, Russell, Duncan, Kobe, Lebron, Shaq
Armando De Los Santos sorry Putting Kobe in your top ten makes your opinion invalid. I could name 10 guys out right better.
1)MJ
2)Kareem
3)LeBron
4)Wilt
5)Russell
6)Big O
7)Bird
8)Magic
9)Duncan
10)Shaq or Hakeem.
...Kobe would probably be between 15-25 for me. Over hyped and over rated.
Chris Butler facts. Kobitch fans think hes so great
Something I read online about Kareem's 1976 season:
"Kareem is traded to a Lakers, where the Bucks get every half-decent Laker in return except for an aging Gail Goodrich. This team was so bad that Kareem even dragging them to 40-42 is viewed as an accomplishment, and he's rewarded with the MVP, the first one since 1956 (Bob Pettit) awarded to a player on a below .500 team. But for the second consecutive season, Kareem fails to make the playoffs."
Kareem Is #1 Ever
When talking GOAT ,you include their highschool and college days,,,there you know who will be the true GOAT.
@@redemptorladica3561 Kareem Is The GOAT
That is why i've written that..They have to do it in highschool,college days that they may knew who will be the true GOAT..
Lebron just missed the playoffs
Ha ha. Chris LeBroussard is hurt!
These are just excuses as to why kareem missed the playoffs, not reasons.
great video, I had no idea Kareem missed the first 16 games of that season because of an eye injury or that the playoff format stopped him another year from making the playoffs.
The most skilled big man of all time.
Most skilled (Big man) would be Hakeem and a healthy Walton. Kareem had a great hook shot. The other 2 had were more skilled in all areas.
@@Amick44 The Dream
@@Amick44 how was Walton more skilled then Cap? only thing Walton did more often were fancier drop/bounce passes, occasional faceup bank shots but he was never better/more skilled than KAJ. hell, every time they matched up KAJ outclassed/outperformed him w/an array of moves and good low post positioning. *better baseline turnaround J, left or right hand hooks, spin to baseline on defenders, dropsteps etc. and Mick A.. you should know full 'n well that KAJ had more than a great hook shot. I know you watch my channel, and know the kinda content I do. and if you think I'm possibly making stuff up/exaggerating here on KAJ then you can check out my extensive edited compilation footage showcasing KAJ's abilities. b/c if I didn't at least try to make efforts to showcase/remind folks just how good he was + try keep his Bball legacy alive.. it seems like nobody was/will.
The fact that Oscar Robinson was not there is a big deal...he is one of the greatest players of all time and was the point guard..so when Kareen gets injured the problem is compounded by the mere fact that Oscar is no longer there running the team so the team is missing both Oscar's contribution at point gurard plus the absence of the big fella and his awesome play and leadership on the floor..
Agreed.
I just don't find the excuses for when he missed the playoffs to be valid. And here's why ->
Regarding the games that Kareem missed in the 1974/75 season, it was due to a broken hand that he suffered from punching a stanchion in the preseason out of frustration after having his eye scratched. It's Kareem's own fault that he missed those games due to not keeping his emotions in check and self-inflicting an easily avoidable injury. Any struggles the Bucks had in his absence is his own fault since that situation could easily have been avoided. You need to stop omitting facts bro! I'm starting to believe you have some type of agenda or something.
But anyways, as an example, If a star like LeBron or Harden today broke their hand by punching an object out of frustration, they would absolutely deserve heavy criticism for any struggles the team had in their absence. Kareem definitely does not deserve a pass for that.
As for Kareem's 1975/76 season, even though *two lower-record teams made the playoffs, he still finished with a losing 40-42 record in his prime in a conference where 6 of 9 teams, including his own, had losing records.* That's absolutely inexcusable especially with Goodrich averaging under 20 PPG for the Lakers. In that weak of a conference, whether missing the playoffs or not, there is no excuse for Kareem in his absolute prime to fail to achieve a winning record.
Those are just my two cents/thoughts really.
True. Back in his heyday, the media coverage wasn't comparable to today's. That was a factor.
@@Amick44 true. The media coverage back then can't even begin to compare to the media of the present.
That definitely played a factor.
@@unbiasvsbias3955 Sure. And back to your original point, today, he probably wouldn't be given a pass for missing the playoffs those yrs. Or getting bounced early. Then again, for better or worse, players didn't have the option (like today) of free agency. To play out your contract and go anywhere. Thus, it eliminated the likelihood of "super" team building. LA and Boston were fortunate to get Magic and Bird and sew up greatness for a while.
And it still took some dealing and foresight to get or keep the right pieces around them.
It was already explained in the video. One division had all the good teams. Two teams made it in the other division with a worse record than the Lakers. It was a fluke. Whether you want to accept it or not is another story.
The truth is those mid 70s Laker teams would have been lucky to win 15 games without Kareem.
@Bob bob So, my first point "sucks" and "doesn't matter" even thou kareem was the one that broke his hand that he easily could've avoided had he kept his emotions in check.....am I hearing this correctly? Lmao, such a weak ass rebuttal.
2.) You first acknowledge that my second point was valid. Everything else you said is null and vull, bro. You can twist and turn the facts all yo want, bud.
Edit: I didn't say "bad" I said inexcusable. There's no reason for a player of kareem's caliber to not have a better winning record than 40-42, considering he was in the smack dab of his prime. Keyword: *Prime*
You didn't "debunk" anything Chris said. He said he missed the playoffs in the middle of his prime.
Either you don't understand what "debunk" means, or just don't care.
Can you do a video about who's the most skilled player ever?
Pete Maravich was the most skilled player ever..check his videos
Luka Doncic
Dr J .... Hands down
MAGIC JOHNSON is the best #1 Pick in NBA Draft history. Why is this even a discussion? And why would somebody like Chris Broussard overlook Magic for such a list? I understand parker leaving him out. He's dumber than oatmeal. But Broussard??
So basically chris was still correct....
"technically yes"
Like Lebron is 3-6 in the finals.
Only if your Rain Man. He's incorrect for placing the blame on Kareem. He must of hurt Chris's feelings at some point.
Context is the biggest in the video that you must've completely missed
Holy shit you're stupid 😂
its the same argument as MJ being out in the first round for facing eventual finalists right at the get go.
these analysts just take numbers from the books and nothing else and make it appear so bad.
If the bulls and bucks were in the west WHO was in the EAST? London!?
Well, you simply had more teams in the east then like Buffalo.
The biggest lies about him is that he was the best center to have ever lived and that he is top 5 player of all-time. Nobody else has ever been swept on number 1 seeded teams as many times as this man. Nobody else has ever lost with home-court advantage or number 1 seeded teams as many times as this man.
And please. please, someone explain why Kareem's biggest fan keep bringing up high school?. HIGH school of all levels! No one does this with Mike, Magic, Larry, even Wilt or Lebron and the latter 2, along with Kareem, were the 3 most highly touted school boy prospects ever. Then maybe Moses. Your weakening your case for Kareem (the H.S comparisons), when he was so much taller than all his opponents. At least in college he played against some other big men.
If that is what you want to cherry pick what about his 6 championships? You can't have it both ways. If Kareem is to blame for the loses then he gets credit for 6 titles.
A simple fact
Talk to me when Lebron has 6 rings
El Tigre Does that mean Robert Horry is greater than MJ cuz he has 7 rings 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kareem is the third greatest player of all time and the second greatest 1st pick ever.
Splash Central lol
Greatest 1st pick ever and a top 2 player*. Now go back to making lame videos, Bronsexual.
Andrew Blackop King James is better than him. He played in the 70s lmao. And LBJ is on Pace to shatter Kareem's points record. Come on Andrew, don't cry because you're a LeBron hater.
Splash Central please... 😂🤦
Stella was a diver and she was always down Nigga u gay asf coming here talking about dick... Hold this L with yo fruity ass
Eye-opening. Great job! Thanks
Thanks for sharing the true History, i heard fake news, but what Chris is saying fake history.
Kareem endured a lot of hate, through his entire career. Allah bless him. The best athlete ever.....
One of the most intelligent athletes as well.
Good video - I enjoyed this, but part of me wants to say that a huge point to what Chris Broussard was saying is that Kareem missing the playoffs, be it his fault or not, would be inexcusable if it was Lebron. Regardless of the responsibility either player has in that. I don't think Chris was saying Kareem was unable to perform at a playoff-contending level.
that he is not the GOAT .....WHY IS HE NOT THE GOAT ? POINTS WIN GAMES ...?????? WHO GOT THE MOST CARRER POINTS ! !!! WHO ?????
Mike jones Karl Malone has the second most points in NBA history, but he's nowhere near being the goat
He has the most points because he played the longest.
On top of that, he has the most MVP awards in league history, that's what seperates him from Malone
He didn’t force his way out of Milwaukie. He requested to be traded to NY or LA for “culture reasons”. The lakers had a bunch of talented players and basically gave up their whole team to acquire him. It set up Milwaukie for several years as playoff contenders as all the players traded contributed. For three seasons the Lakers had no point guards with any skills, and until they drafted Magic they had no way of getting the ball to Kareem. Chris Broussard is more concerned with his George Jefferson imitation and riding Lebron’s jock than stating facts.
Ugh. It's ok to just say Kareem, or Jabbar. We know who you're talking about. Think about his mama feels after naming him Lew Alcindor.
So players who didn’t make the playoffs have won the MVP before ?
Ok I'll give u the injury season, but come on, he lost more games than he won in his first season in LA. Whether it be the format or his conference, the fact is he failed to take his struggling team to the playoffs. Also, in the modern NBA, the best player on a losing team never wins MVP even if they have freakish stats, reason being that wins are a barometer to individual performance and they factor into the MVP discussion. If LeBron put up a triple double every game but his team had a losing record, chances are people would not view his season as MVP worthy. Kareem averaged 28, 17, and 4 that season and set the single season blocks record. Crazy numbers but if we are trying to compare player legacies, that won't get you the MVP nowadays if your team loses more than it wins. We should put a little less weight on that mvp award when comparing Kareem to modern players.
Aditya Varshney Yea you can argue that Dave Cowens or bob mcadoo should've won it that year. But during that time in the NBA voting was done by the players. So they might've been a major factor
Dominique Robinson oh I totally forgot about that, good point.
Kareem in 1976 went to a non playoff Lakers team and improved them by 10 wins and the next year even more.
Also triple doubles don't mean shit, especially in today's NBA where everyone has to get their ass back on transition defense. LeBron and Westbrook do not contest shots and stay near the rim to grab every uncontested rebound while teammates run down the court. That's how you pad rebounds. Of course getting 8+ assists every game is easy when you make 80% of the passes for your team. It actually hurts the team that one person dominates the ball like that because no one else can get assist numbers in a ball stagnant system. LeBron designed the system to pad his own stats above winning.
You're 100% right Hakeem Olajuwon is the goat and is better than Lebron, Jordan, Kareem and everybody else to ever lace them up!
Great channel. Thanks for posting. Kareem and Dr J will always have a place of honor in my mind
ok so they would have barely made the playoffs as an 8 or 7 seed if he played all the games and other stars were still injured, so what? He was trash that year and made his teammates worse (unlike other years), lebron, jordan etc have had teammates suffer huge injuries and still won 50+ games and gone deep into the playoffs eg Lebron 2015 finals without kyrie and kevin love (whole playoffs)
Going 2 games into the 2015 finals isn't that impressive. Klay Thompson was playing like trash at 50% TS so it was basically Curry and Iguodala vs LeBron. That 2015 finals is overrated as hell, 46% TS at 30 points is not that impressive on a team he personally cherry picked.
Kareem in 1976 went to a non playoff Lakers team and improved them by 10 wins and the next year even more.
Losing Oscar was a major hit to them having better success in 74-75...

3:48 confused me is Milwaukee,Chicago and Detroit western conf. But love the video
Old Yeller Red boy just trying to keep his job on TV. I understand.
