school. The day after James all but disappeared inBeauty is Meaningless Cleveland’s playoff loss to Boston, Abdul-Jabbar said even “King James” would have benefited from college.“He would have come into the professional ranks very polished, given his innate gifts,” Abdul-Jabbar said. “Having to go through a college systema world in a grain of sand would have made him a total gem as soon as he stepped out of the college ranks.”Abdul-Jabbar commented on other topics:
— He said his role as co-pilot “Roger Murdock” in the 1980 comedy movie “Airplane” changed his life.touches your heart
I think everybody in the airline industry is required to watch it,” he said. “When I get on planes, every so often the stewardess or the pilot will Make youself a better personcome out and ask me, ‘Do you want to fly the plane?’ “During a flight in Europe, a pilot escorted him from his seat to the cockpit for takeoff.Whatever happens,happens for a reason
“I get a good laugh from it,” he said. “It’s been over 25 years since I made that movie and people still watch it all the time. I guess it’s a classic.”
— He said he has known about Boys Town and its founder, the Rev. Edward Flanagan, since he attended Catholic school in an Irish neighborhood in New York City. “The Irish were very proud of him and what he had achieved. It’s really neat for me to come out here and see it in reality and seeing they’re doing such fine work. That is so necessary. People have to care about our youth. They are our most precious resources. If we don’t care, what’s going to happen.”— He said his greatest athletic achievement was playing on the Lakers team that beat Boston for the NBA title in 1985.“But seeing my kids graduate from college and knowing they have a firm basis in life, that is a lot more important to me, personally,” he said.— He said 6-11 center Nate Thurmond, who played for Golden State, Chicago and Cleveland, was his toughest matchup.“A lot of guys beat on me and said they played good defense. Nate actually used skill and knowledge of the game to play against me and make my evenings more difficult when I had to play him,” Abdul-Jabbar said. “He was everything a professional center should be.”
He said the “Showtime” Lakers would fare well in the current NBA.“We had guys on the bench who were Hall-of-Famers,” he said. “That doesn’t happen now because there is such a dispersal of talent. We would do very well in this present climatehttp://tkastnd.org/forums
