Lew Alcindor, later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabar, was the first pick in the 1969 draft, taken by the Milwaukee Bucks. Jabar's impact was immediate, improving the Buck's win total from 27 to 56, and capturing their only NBA title in the 70-71 season. However, Jabar requested a trade to either New York or Los Angeles in 1974 due to cultural needs.

In 1975, the Lakers acquired Jabar and he had dominating seasons but there would be no post season success until the Lakers drafted one Earvin "Magic" Johnson. Thus the "Showtime" era began, with Magic leading fast break. If the fast break did not work out, the ball would go to Kareem in the post where he would drop his famous Sky Hook, an impossible to defend shot. Together, the two of them lead the 80s Lakers to 8 NBA finals appearances, winning 5.

Over the course of his career, Kareem played 20 seasons in the NBA, averaging an astounding 36.8 minutes per game. This durability combined with his deadly Sky Hook lead him to become the NBA's all time leading scorer.

6 nba championships, once with the Bucks, and 5 with the Lakers. In 1985 Finals the Lakers have finally beat the team that they fall to since they met in the finals in 1959 the Celtics, and Boston lost in the finals in 1985 for the first time since 1958 against the St. Louis(now Atlanta) Hawks.
