We wonder if anyone carried a great team like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did on Over and Back’s latest episode in its Basketball Mysteries of the 1970s series.
Topics discussed include: Kareem's nearly unprecedented value to the Milwaukee Bucks, where he ranks among other all-time greats in a number of statistical categories, the percentage of Milwaukee's production came from Kareem as well as an overview of his many accomplishments and who his best teammates were.
Also included is a portion of our previous Kareem in the 1970s episode in which we discuss the mythical $1M check from the ABA, the famed ABA/NBA power struggle to acquire his rights, Kareem's early NBA career with the Milwaukee Bucks including the Bucks' franchise's only championship, dominance in the NBA and more.
