Jack sikma going toe to toe with kareem. He must be one of the lesser known hall of famers from that era. I had to double check to see if he was inducted
The Lakers had incredible talent but incompatible players. Lou Hudson and Charlie Scott were past their primes. Adrian Dantley was very good but probably not a good fit there. Jamaal Wilkes and Norm Nixon were good but young and still developing. Guys were trying to make names for themselves and earn playing time. So teamwork tends to suffer.
