James Worthy is my top 5 all time!!
I watched the Showtime Lakers in real time back in the 80's, and when I think back on them, I always think of Magic, Kareem, and Worthy.
I watched in real time also. James Worthy is my favorite Laker of all time along with Kobe.
The thing about James Worthy that people never mention or give him praise for is he was the #1 OVERALL pick in the 82 Draft. Over Dominique Wilkins,Terry Cummings amongst other players in that draft who had solid careers(And the draft went 10 rounds in those days).HE LED JORDAN TO HIS ONLY COLLEGIANT TITLE! Even Jordan has said that Pippin couldn’t hold Worthy’s jock strap. But Pippin gets all the praise,even though,head to head,Worthy used to eat Pippin for lunch 😂.It’s a shame,for him,he went to the World Champion Lakers squad and had to play with Magic & Kareem. He would have been a franchise player in his own right,but because of that,his greatness is watered down. Think about it 🤔,he is the reason for the draft lottery,as the NBA had to come up with a way that the best team didn’t get the best players coming out of college. THINK ABOUT THAT! And he doesn’t even have a statue outside of Staples Center. Sad….
J Worthy was one of few players not afraid to guard L Bird,Celtics vs Lakers rivarly in 1980s was no joke.Lakers fans knew he's one of the greats
James Worthy would feast in todays NBA .....NO QUESTION!!!
Big games James my fav of all time he was just so graceful and tough fast it was like watching valet in basketball and in big games worthy shine big. Good job worthy
Worthy was pretty much unstoppable in the low post. He was my favority player growing up (though I was a Bulls fan).
So in 1985 Worthy shoots .721 against the nuggets in a 4-1 series win for LA. In 1987 Worthy shoots ..722 against the nuggets in a 3-0 sweep for LA. You can watch the games, even when the Nuggets tried to slow him down it was tomahawk time. Imaging Worthy in today’s game is unfair
..............and his power seems effortlessly smooth !
Remember that game 4 in 1989 Pistons,we lost Bryant Scott and Magic to injuries,Worthy scored 40 points,could have 50 if wasn't tired down strech.Pistons was determined to win chip,well deserved.We would've threepeat if not injuries to Magic and Scott
B.G.J. : A terrifying and breathtaking force of nature!
Great video......until the @40:11 mark.
No one ever or since is quicker on the block. He's blinding fast.
This is probably one of the reasons why a lot of people hate the Lakers. It seems so unfair that they could steal Worthy at the draft and add another HOF to the team filled with Kareem, Magic and great supporting players.
Kinda like when the Celtics stole the nets picks to draft Tatum and Jaylen brown?
Steal
His post up game was Kevin McHale on fast-forward.
0 error 100% showtime James Worthy
I HAD A JAMES WORTHY POSTER
HE WAS MY FAVORITE PLAYER
Worthy is still within my top 5 Lakers of all time.
#1-Kobe
#2-Magic
#3-Worthy
#4-Kareem
#5-Shaq
For me… Kobe is the most skilled player on both sides of the ball as well as the most fundamentally sound. He could score on anyone and at any time. He was also a dominant defender. Simply put… he took over games and never backed down from the best opponents. He was the Black Mamba.
Magic was my favorite player until Kobe came into his own. Magic made the NBA fun to watch. He mastered the no look pass, the Coop-a-loop and he was the catalyst behind the fast pace Showtime Lakers.
Worthy was “Big Game James” for a reason. He was a dynamic scorer who could score at the rim and he was never scared to take a big shot. Worthy also played suffocating defense.
Kareem is still the most accomplished player in NBA history. The sky hook is considered unstoppable still to this day.
Awesome Video By The Big Game James Worthy Fam Fa'Life One Love Fa'Sho...
In no sense WHATSOEVER was James Worthy "ahead of his time"!
I used to mimic his playing
I scored allot of points
He was one of the best 👌 forward I was in high-school Showtime 80s &the great Celtics I was high-school basketball 🏀 player in my oreganly country east Africa 🌍 and I yous to rent VHS 80s NBA and I like him magic Cooper Kareem Byron Scott Michael Thompson Kurt Rumbes that was golden day's NBA
Great upload. Great player. Great ERA!
40 minutes of yakety-yak and 2 minutes of basketball.
It was all dunks and layups. That's I don't understand why more athletic and skilled NBA players can't do it. Well LBJ did it. Give me 6'9 height with no health issues.
Magic won the 1980 final MVP because of is Game 6 only and James worthy won the 1988 final MVP because of is Game 7 only
Worthy was the leading point scorer of 1988 series. It wasn't just one game. But yes you are correct. Game 7 just sealed the deal.
He’s right
Magic should have won the 88 Finals MVP tbh
@@rafikz77b.s. magic could not play as many positions as james....worthy could play all of them
Show em where your coming from .
Hii
First Ballot HOF all day long!! Wtf
To slow great player, 😮
Imagine the Lakers drafted Dominque Wilkins over Worthy. As great as Worthy was, imagine Dominque running the fastbreak with Magic, and all the flashy passes and dunks.
Hard to say for sure but it worked for the Lakers getting three more championships with him. Maybe they win more with nique but maybe they win kess
Worthy was just a consolation prize. The Lakers wanted Ralph Sampson, but Sampson wouldn't declare for the draft at the end of the 1982 college season because the Lakers hadn't won the coin toss yet. Sampson didn't want a 50% chance to go to the San Diego Clippers so he stayed in Virginia for his senior year.
Imagine the Lakers got Sampson. With his bad knees, his tenure would have been over in 4-5 years.
worthy was better than dominique....wilkins was a just a lone star on the hawks team and received more isolative attention because of the fact...JW was better !!!
Tom Chambers would’ve fit that team as well
