Throwback Thursdays.................................. Showtime Lakers

I want to take you back to the 80s and put you on to the SHOWTIME LAKERS. The 80's LAKERS were a beautiful sight to see. We had Magic Johnson(#32) running the show with his no look passes, angelic smile, and would run through a brick wall if need be just to get the W. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar(#33) posted up on the low block just giving opponents service with the "Sky Hook", he is also the NBA's All time leading scorer. We had Big Game James Worthy(#42), Byron Scott(#4), Micheal Cooper(#21)  aka "Coop" running the lane with reckless abandon, bringing down the Hammer on the rim. Then there were the role players AC Green(#45) who had the wettest Jerry Curl of the 80s. Dude didn't take nothing back to the crib post game (SMH). We had Kurt Rambis(#31) aka Four Eyes  he would get jiggy from time to time himself. Then lets not forget about the engineer of SHOWTIME basketball, Pat Riley(Coach) would roam the sidelines with his top of the line European tailored suits, slick back hair, and his swagger was always on 1 zillion! During the 80's those LAKERS made 8 NBA Finals appearances won 5 NBA titles in the decade.

The video below gives you a taste of what was going on in LA on and off the court in the 80's. If you are having a bad day today this video is Gurantsheed to put a smile on your face. This video gets BOOG every time I watch it!
