Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is one of the most celebrated NBA players. Having his support and approval is everything a team or a player could ever ask for, and that’s exactly what the Lakers received from him this season.

Kareem has throughout displayed a lot of support for LeBron James in the playoffs. He was sure that this season will be a success for the Lakers. Kareem knows exactly what he is talking about. He has won six titles himself and has six MVP trophies too.

Luckily, that’s exactly what has happened, and the Lakers achieved their 17th NBA Championship title after a decade. They had played an enormous gamble which paid off, trading almost all of their young players for Anthony Davis.

Kareem is certain the Lakers can pull off more titles

On Keyshawn, JWill & Zubin’s, they asked Kareem, “What do you think about winning this championship in the year we lost Kobe Bryant?”.

“Well, I think this is an incredible achievement,” responded Kareem.”It’s a lot more than anything I did. I didn’t have to go into isolation for three months. Not see my family. Not have my meals done the way I am used to. Just having to be in total isolation, just me in my hotel room, I didn’t have to contend with that.
