Correction: He got 4 rings as a player and 3 more as an assistant. Still had a helluva playing career. Among all those greats he was still an important key member of those championships.
Kurt had average physical gifts, but he had all of the fundamentals in place. Sure he hustled and he worked very hard, but watch his ability to set picks, move without the ball, make accurate and quick passes, and use his left hand. Fundamentally, he was a very solid player, who was only 6-8, but could play with the bigger guys because he was very clever.
Sucks we lost him in the expansion draft. The Original Lakers Superman. Here in L.A. still love Kurt's smile. Whupped that ass with hustle and style. You damn right I'm an 80's child. Sincerely, A RAMBIS YOUTH GONE WILD!
He greatly helped the Lakers win world championships without him they probably not could have won it was his hustle out there that made a lot of difference
@benjaros2 - Rambis was receiving his 1987-88 NBA Championship ring. In this video clip you will notice Abdul-Jabbar himself calling Rambis "family" which is really what this ceremony was all about.
Kurt Rambis, really classy guy, as a Laker fan, I was sad to see him go to Minnesota, I was kinda hoping he would take over once Phil retired, all the best Kurt!
Coincidentally, the Lakers didn’t get another ring after his departure. I remember him doing a really good job on Worthy every time he played them. And Kurt helped eliminate the Lakers in 1990 when he was with the Suns. Worthy had one of his worst playoff series.
Always loved to watch Kurt play with the Lakers in the 80`s. He was a Class act basketball player who didn`t look for the spotlight. Also a real gentleman but could get aggressive if gotten aggressive with. He got respect but at the same time gave respect. More players today should model themselves after Kurt, if they did it would be a lot better organization.
I always think of the Lakers of that era as selfless. Which is what I think made them so fun to watch. Kurt was my favorite, I'll admit. I also liked Cooper, another hustle player.
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. I HATE the Lakers, but always loved Tom Rambis (and Pau Gasol). When my friends and I would play dunk ball at the elementary school hoops, I would stand on the right side of the basket, jump straight up, and dunk with two hands. My friends would say, "Rrrrrr-ambis!!"
Why did he leave or was let go of the Lakers? I was a kid growing up in the 80's. Never thought recall why he disappeared from the Lakers if he was a utility player
The NBA added some new teams that year so they have some kind of “expansion draft” where the new teams get to basically steal players from other teams lmao
Rambis got 5 rings ppl. And played with legends, and the legends he played with loved him. What a guy!

This dude should of got more recognition. One heck of a ballplayer
Should have
Sucks we lost him in the expansion draft.
The Original Lakers Superman.
Here in L.A. still love Kurt's smile.

and lakers got a little unfinished business from the 87-88 ring ceremony
The Greek freak!!! Opa!!!
Send that to Ice Cube or Snoop.
+1 internets to you sir
Why is there a fucking motorcycle in my right ear.
Probably ripped from somebody's VHS tape.
Sounds more like a helicopter to me
What a class act! Ultimate team player who gave all his heart on the court and to his teams! Thanks for sharing!
i love how he played. he played so tough and wasn't afraid to woop some ass either
Same, he played like he earned every fucking penny, lived watching him
@@user-yy7cw7fl8p and would file your taxes, whether the IRS liked it or not
@@scottrackley4457 🤣🤣🤣
every team needs a Kurt Rambis
.
he was such a great player and a great guy
.
such a hard worker and not a glory seeker
He greatly helped the Lakers win world championships without him they probably not could have won it was his hustle out there that made a lot of difference

People think he was a scrub, truth is he put up pretty good numbers when he was a part of the offense with the Hornets
Not To Me. Kurt Is and Will Always Be My #1 Pick.
Nobody thought he was a scrub.
Kurt Rambis simply one of the best I have ever witness played the game!!!
Kurt Rambis, really classy guy, as a Laker fan, I was sad to see him go to Minnesota, I was kinda hoping he would take over once Phil retired, all the best Kurt!
back then they treated players so much more with respect
Hard to treat modern players with respact when most of them cry after every play, play selfishly, and swap teams every couple years.
He was one of the best. A hard worker who got every bit out of his career thru hustle and determination.
Lakers need him now
"Chick...thanks. Who are you picking on now, buddy?" LMAO! Classic.
Who’s Chick tho?
@@thedevilkidd5342 chick Hearn duh

No one hustled out there more than Kurt rambis
he reminds of Ned flanders
He truly was one of the best!

@@iowapanner2223 Coop a loops were the best thing ever, Coop could jump out of the gym. Unless it was Doc.
Kurt Rambis is awesome!! a Cupertino High and Santa Clara University grad!!!
Kurt was like Dennis Rodman
Goooooood Mythical Morning
The real Rambo! Especially when he posterized the Chocolate Thunder.
Today he'd be a all-star
Agree. With the emphasis on outside shooting and fundamentals, he would be a huge star.
thanks for the video memories. it feels good to remember back in the days when there was still loyalty in the league
Was all about Lakers in the 80's. You're a bad white boy if you're playing in showtime. Always hear "Dirty White Boy" when I see him.
Thanks for recognizing my second uncle!!!!

Tom Rambis?
all the fresh pre-game gear
Classy and touching tribute.
Jerry West came from my part of the country cabin Creek West Virginia got to meet him one time super guy
A very beloved player in LA.
Mythical Beasts!!! Step Right up!

What happened to Byron Scott, that Kurt referenced?
When your dad makes it to the NBA
And he was fucking good
Why does it sound like a race car, in the background?
It was Kurt "Clark Kent " Rambis
I forgot he was a Hornet.
Nothing but love for all these '80's teams🍀🗑🏀🍀
Clark Kent yes. Superman🤔 ... not so much
Why did he leave or was let go of the Lakers? I was a kid growing up in the 80's. Never thought recall why he disappeared from the Lakers if he was a utility player
The NBA added some new teams that year so they have some kind of “expansion draft” where the new teams get to basically steal players from other teams lmao
Which year is this?
Haha! Kelly Tapioca!
Kurt dribbles before he shoots.
the real superman, not dwight
Damn even Kurt rambis is more loved as a laker then Lebron.
Ned Flanders!
Rambis, Scott, and Cooper should have their jersey's retired. I don’t understand why.
what happened to all the classy hard working players ?
That's the year MJ dunk on him 😂
hey mythical beastss
He should have been a celtic.
@MrCurtlyambrose Thats a pure racistic comment. Kyriakos Rabbidis was the best 6th player.
Lol I️ kno his son
He was always Clark Kent but never Superman. Shaq came in 96/97.
If Kurt Rambis was black there's no way he'd get all this attention as a role player.
The other end of Isiah's comments about Larry Bird. Listen for laughter at the end of the audio.
Your comment reflects your racist ignorance.
Racist much?
