Random YouTube Magic: Kareem and Chick Have a Chat

That's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar talking with legendary Lakers announcer Chick Hearn before a game against the Jazz on April 5, 1984. Of course, it wasn't just any old game, it was the game that Abdul-Jabbar broke Wilt Chamberlain's scoring record, and it happened at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, of all places, where the Jazz played 10 games that season as an alternate home court.

I love how the interview bounces just about everywhere, and it's interesting how Abdul-Jabbar advocates for college freshman being forced to sit out a year before playing NCAA ball -- the next high school kid who complains about not being able to jump directly to the NBA should be happy he wasn't born 30 years earlier.
