Before Magic Johnson, the Los Angeles Lakers were very good, NBA Finals contenders even, with Kareem Abdul Jabbar. They just weren't a great team yet, but instead a very good team, with several great players, including the best player in the NBA, at least at that point, if not ever, but Jamal Wilkes as well. Which meant when they played teams that played great as teams and not as individuals, like Oakland Warriors, (as I call them) or the Seattle Sonics, or the Portland Blazers, they would come up short in the Western Conference Playoffs.
