"Quick compilation of Kareem scoring 43 points on Warriors in game 6 of 1977 WCSF. Kareem scored 40+ four times in this series despite being doubled/tripled/fronted most of the time. He also had 20 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks."
From Fish
1977 is 3 years before Earvin Magic Johnson shows up in Los Angeles. So there's no question who the leader of the Los Angeles Lakers is at this point, but the greatest players of the 1970s (if not all-time) in Kareem Abdul Jabbar. A man who was almost impossible to cover in the post because of his height, physical strength, footwork, quickness, athletic ability. And he was probably the only player that could beat the Oakland Warriors (as I call them) at this point anyway.
