Vigesimoséptimo programa dedicado a la temporada 1986-87 de la NBA en el que continuamos el repaso de la fase regular de los equipos. En este analizamos a Los Angeles Lakers; tanto las expectativas como el desarrollo del curso, los movimientos en la plantilla, el ataque y la defensa, los jugadores, las estadísticas individuales y colectivas, curiosidades, y mucho más. Pat Riley entregó el liderazgo del equipo a Magic; este respondió consiguiendo su primer MVP y liderando a los Lakers al mejor balance de la liga con 65 triunfos. El entrenador también instauró el llamado CBE («Career Best Effort») para controlar la mejora exigida a sus jugadores. James Worthy pasó a ser el segundo espada. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar asumió su nuevo papel y rindió bien. Byron Scott y A. C. Green completaron el quinteto titular; este último fue la sorpresa del equipo. Desde el banquillo sumó mucho y bien Michael Cooper, elegido mejor defensor de la liga. Tanto Kurt Rambis como Mychal Thompson (quien llegó en febrero al equipo vía traspaso) fueron los otros dos suplentes principales. El equipo consiguió el mejor ataque de la liga y una de las mejores defensas. - 0:01:16 Previa (antecedentes, propietario, mánager general, traspasos, fichajes, bajas, draft, entrenador, tipo de juego, expectativas). - 1:08:00 Plantilla. - 1:30:33 Fase regular. - 1:50:51 Análisis de la actuación de los jugadores en la fase regular. - 2:46:45 Análisis de la actuación del equipo en la fase regular. - 2:54:13 Conclusiones y comentarios finales. ------ Contacto y redes: - iVoox (Era baloncesto): https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-era-baloncesto_sq_f1687000_1.html - XLS con todos los audios: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k9YiJkMkIMwONwX1onZZTBHBffYVtnlgT2oBebypG0A - Twitter: @erabaloncesto - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@erabaloncesto - Blog: https://erabaloncesto.home.blog - erabaloncesto@gmail.com ------ Sintonía: - Cornflowers (Dee Yan-Key): freemusicarchive.org/music/Dee_Yan-Key/Vacation_Days/01-Dee_Yan-Key-Cornflowers ------ Creado y presentado por José Manuel Gómez y Manuel Álvarez López.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Becoming Kareem, the Skyhook, and the Search for a Self [From the Archive]

The James Altucher Show

Episode Description:Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joins James for a From the Archive conversation about basketball, identity, mentorship, faith, writing, civil rights, and his book Becoming Kareem: Growing Up On and Off the Court.The episode begins with basketball. James asks Kareem how the game has changed since his playing days, and Kareem explains the shift toward the three-point shot, the rule changes around physical defense, and the way modern spacing has altered how teams score.But the conversation quickly becomes deeper than basketball.James sees Becoming Kareem as a book about the search for identity. Kareem agrees, explaining that Black Americans have often had identities imposed on them—first through slavery, then through Jim Crow, then through the lingering assumptions and limitations of American racism. His own journey required rejecting those imposed definitions and building an identity he could be proud of.Kareem emphasizes the importance of mentors. Some were direct mentors, like John Wooden and Bruce Lee. Others were cultural or intellectual mentors, like Malcolm X. Together, they helped him understand not only how to succeed, but how to think about who he wanted to become.The central advice Kareem gives young people is simple: knowledge is power. Learn what your future could be. Seek out what motivates you. Do not let someone else define your path. Every person has a unique spark, and the work is to discover where that spark leads.James and Kareem also talk about fundamentals. Kareem remembers John Wooden expecting him to graduate and teaching his players the smallest details of preparation, including how to put on their socks. The lesson is that success depends on doing the basic things correctly before the glamorous work begins.The conversation then turns to Kareem's life as a writer. James asks about the challenge of moving from basketball into Sherlock Holmes fiction. Kareem explains that writing Mycroft Holmes required serious preparation: understanding Victorian England, Arthur Conan Doyle's canon, and the possibilities hidden inside Mycroft's brief appearances.Kareem also reflects on Islam, his conversion, and the way faith gave him a moral anchor. He talks about being raised Catholic, studying Islam, reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and finding a belief system that helped him understand right and wrong.Near the end, James asks about Kareem's seriousness in photos and the HBO documentary Kareem: Minority of One. Kareem explains that his height made him visible everywhere he went, and that constant scrutiny made him more guarded than someone who could disappear into a crowd.The episode closes with the idea that everyone is, in some way, a minority of one. Every person has to figure out their own path, and often that path is not the one their parents followed. Kareem's story is about basketball, but it is also about becoming a whole person.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to Kareem's career scoring record, the state of the NBA, Becoming Kareem, and his then-current writing projects reflect the original recording period.Since this conversation was recorded, LeBron James has surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA's all-time leading scorer. The conversation remains historically valuable because it captures Kareem reflecting on his record, his era, and his evolution before that milestone changed.What You'll Learn:How Kareem thinks basketball changed after his era.Why the three-point shot transformed modern NBA strategy.Why Becoming Kareem is ultimately a book about identity.How imposed identity shaped Kareem's experience as a Black American.Why knowledge is power in the search for a future.How mentors helped Kareem understand who he was and who he wanted to become.What John Wooden taught him about education, discipline, and preparation.Why fundamentals matter before talent can fully express itself.How the lesson of “putting on your socks” applies far beyond basketball.Why Bruce Lee's “one kick 10,000 times” idea connects to the skyhook.How Kareem approached writing Sherlock Holmes fiction through Mycroft.Why religion became part of Kareem's search for identity.How Islam gave him a moral anchor.Why constant public scrutiny made him more guarded.Why competitive fire separates great athletes from talented ones who do not fully develop.Why every generation has to find its own path.Timestamped Chapters:[02:38] How Basketball ChangedKareem explains how the three-point shot, rule changes, and less physical defense changed the modern NBA.[04:14] Beyond BasketballJames introduces Becoming Kareem and frames Kareem's life as a continuing search for identity.[05:44] Rejecting an Imposed IdentityKareem explains how Black Americans have had identities imposed on them and why his journey required building one he could be proud of.[07:03] Mentors and the Making of a SelfJames points to Coach Wooden, Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali, Wilt Chamberlain, Malcolm X, and other influences who shaped Kareem's identity.[08:17] Knowledge Is PowerKareem says young people should seek knowledge, understand what motivates them, and choose a path instead of accepting one imposed by others.[09:57] Education, UCLA, and CommunityKareem explains why earning a college degree mattered to him personally and to his community.[11:12] Finding Your Path in AmericaKareem talks about the many ways to become successful and the need to figure out what you want to pursue.[12:12] Fundamental PreparationKareem explains why every field requires fundamentals, whether basketball, chemistry, law, or any other discipline.[13:05] John Wooden and the Socks LessonJames and Kareem discuss Wooden teaching players how to put on socks and why small details determine whether bigger work can happen.[14:26] The Skyhook and 10,000 KicksJames connects Bruce Lee's practice philosophy to Kareem's skyhook and the discipline of repeating one skill until it becomes mastery.[15:46] Becoming a Sherlock Holmes WriterKareem explains the challenge of entering a new creative field and writing about Mycroft Holmes.[17:02] Finding the Blank Space in MycroftJames notes that Kareem built a story from Arthur Conan Doyle's brief suggestion that Mycroft was, at times, the British government.[17:39] Religion and IdentityKareem explains how his Catholic upbringing, interest in monotheism, African history, and The Autobiography of Malcolm X led him toward Islam.[18:49] A Moral AnchorKareem says Islam helped him clarify his belief system and understand right and wrong.[20:06] A Minority of OneJames asks why Kareem often appeared so serious in photos, and Kareem explains the effect of lifelong scrutiny.[21:31] What Coach Wooden Still Teaches HimKareem reflects on Wooden's example, expectations, and belief that effort in academics and athletics was worthwhile.[22:47] Talent, Skill, and Competitive FireKareem says competitive fire often separates championship athletes from talented players who never fully make it.[24:35] Civil Rights and Speaking Up YoungJames asks about the Cleveland Summit, Muhammad Ali, and Kareem's early role in civil-rights conversations.[25:54] Everyone Is a Minority of OneJames and Kareem return to the question of identity and the need for each generation to define its own path.Additional Resources:Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Official WebsiteBecoming Kareem — Hachette Book GroupMycroft Holmes Series — Penguin Random HouseKareem Abdul-Jabbar — Simon & Schuster Author PageWe All Want to Change the World — Penguin Random HouseGame of Death — Janus FilmsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Marketer of the Day with Robert Plank: Get Daily Insights from the Top Internet Marketers & Entrepreneurs Around the World

Many entrepreneurs are smart, experienced, and ambitious, but still feel stuck, scattered, and frustrated that their results don't match their potential. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. Donna Blevins, a 6'5" former professional poker player, high-scoring basketball standout, stroke survivor, and performance coach, shows how changing your self-talk, daily habits, and relationship with AI can create real breakthroughs in your business and life. She draws on concepts from her book MindShift, where she teaches how to reframe setbacks, focus on wins, and harness the power of intentional language. Donna shares the pivotal story of being told by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that her high school basketball stats made her not just “good,” but a star, even though she'd spent years telling herself she was terrible. That moment shattered her habit of focusing on misses instead of scores, and it mirrors how many entrepreneurs obsess over what's not working instead of the results they are getting. Donna explains how this kind of negative self-talk quietly sabotages success, and why shifting your internal language is the first step to changing your external results. From there, Donna gets practical. She reveals her simple productivity framework: finish three small things a day, and plan your business in 90‑day quarters instead of chasing vague, far-off “big goals” you never complete. She talks about her mind shifting process, so powerful she credits it with helping her regain speech three days after a massive stroke, and her exercise to “evict your perfection witch,” freeing you from the perfectionism that keeps offers, content, and ideas stuck in draft mode. You'll learn why doing things live, iterating in public, and embracing “beta” versions is often the fastest path to a profitable, repeatable offer. https://youtu.be/7O3QKP52x0g?si=3CsjDdtyNwHJKBF1 Donna also dives into how she's using AI as a true virtual assistant, not a distraction. She explains how she trained ChatGPT's new work feature to understand her voice (“donatize” her content), organize her Google Drive, build course templates, and act as a pocket performance coach for clients, while maintaining strict boundaries so the tech stays safe, useful, and under her control. For entrepreneurs, especially those over 50, who feel overwhelmed by tech, uncertain about their “next page,” or tired of spinning their wheels, this conversation offers a blend of mindset, systems, and AI strategy rooted in real-world experience. If you're ready to stop overthinking, start finishing, and finally turn your brilliance into bankable results, you'll want to hear what Donna shares. Quotes: "Find three little things that you can finish now. What happens? It changes the frequency, the energy within you, and the frequency around you, because we create the energy around us." "When you make a goal, sure, look at the big hairy-ass goals, that's fine, but look at something that's three months away. If you plan in quarters, you're far more productive." "I created a mind shift exercise called 'Evict Your Perfection Witch' because she has taken residence on my shoulders from time to time, and I want to evict her, evict the bitch, that's what I say."

We'll talk it out with Marcus Thompson, a lead columnist who covers the NBA at The Athletic.Then we'll hear from someone who's no stranger to NBA championships: Michael Cooper. He played for the Los Angeles Lakers in the ‘80s, during an era of basketball defined by flashy moves and a run-and-gun style of play.

In this 88-minute reunion episode of Off the Screen, the full crew (Jordon, Alejandro Olivo, Michael Brunache, and Sid) is back together after a month-long hiatus. They kick off discussing the massive TV ratings for the NBA Conference Finals, sparking a hilarious rant about soaring streaming costs, Netflix password crackdowns, and unskippable YouTube ads. Once settled, the guys celebrate the San Antonio Spurs punching their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time in 12 years. This triggers a heated, analytic-heavy debate over award season—specifically Jordon's passionate defense of Scottie Barnes' All-Defensive First Team snub and whether a Sixth Man should ever win MVP. The second half shifts to culture and tech. The crew tears apart awful product designs (like the electric Ferrari and Apple's bottom-charging Magic Mouse) and laughs over a viral, AI-generated Nike ad featuring Victor Wembanyama and elite, ankle-breaking nuns. Finally, they put on their historian hats to break down the legends behind the NBA's redesigned trophies and fact-check Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's true MVP numbers.00:00:00 — The Squad Reunites The crew welcomes everyone back from the "injury reserve" after a month away and jokes about who the most reliable host is. 00:01:24 — The Streaming Crisis & Ad Apocalypse High NBA ratings spark a debate on streaming bundles, rising subscription prices, and why paying to watch unskippable ads feels like a scam. 00:07:20 — Texas Bound: The Spurs' Finals Return Recapping the West as San Antonio clinches a Finals spot for the first time in over a decade.

Joe and Hollywood react to the Heat cutting Terry Rozier after his connection to the NBA point-shaving scandal, noting he hadn't played all season and that opinions remain split on whether he's truly innocent. They also debate whether Rozier was ever a good fit in Miami to begin with, even before the controversy, and question if the move could go down as one of the worst trades in Heat history. The discussion turns critical of Charlotte, with speculation that the Hornets may have been aware of issues before trading him to Miami. The segment wraps with Joe reflecting on a Lakers-Celtics documentary from the Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar era, leading into high praise for Pat Riley and his lasting impact on the game.

The pieces fell into place for a franchise that asserted themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. Building the Milwaukee Bucks: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson, and the Rapid Rise of an NBA Franchise, 1968-1975 (McFarland, 2025) covers the unique formation of the NBA franchise that helped restore the image of the city of Milwaukee amid civil unrest and the departure of Major League Baseball as well as why Abdul-Jabbar never found comfort being the face of the Bucks while living in Milwaukee. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, is now available. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep. Learn more about your ad choices.

Combo and YouTuber/NBA Historian Mike Korzemba deep dive into some of the biggest debates in hoops. They start with the ultimate question: how would Michael Jordan look in today's NBA? Would the spacing, pace, and freedom of the modern game unlock an even more unstoppable version of MJ? From there, Combo and Mike get into all-time rankings, including the case for Larry Bird as the third-greatest player ever behind Jordan and LeBron, and where legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson belong in the GOAT conversation. They also talk about why Kobe Bryant's legacy is still one of the most polarizing in basketball, how analytics have changed the way fans judge greatness, and why winning still matters more than any stat sheet. Plus, Mike shares his pick for the biggest “what if” in NBA history — the career that might have been if Derrick Rose never suffered those devastating injuries.

The March 8, 1976, issue of Sports Illustrated featured Buffalo Braves star Bob McAdoo on the cover, captured in a striking close-up portrait by photographer Neil Leifer, holding the ball at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium under the headline "Hottest Shot in the Game: Buffalo's Bob McAdoo." Just one year removed from winning the 1975 NBA MVP award—his second straight scoring title at 34.1 PPG in 1974-75—McAdoo was still dominating as one of the league's premier scorers and rebounders, leading the Braves in a strong season and representing the peak of his individual brilliance in Buffalo. However, his tenure with the Braves ended abruptly that December when contract disputes and the team's unwillingness to meet his salary demands prompted a trade to the New York Knicks for center John Gianelli and cash. Injuries, including a persistent back issue and later more severe setbacks, began to erode his consistency despite continued high scoring. McAdoo then became a journeyman: traded to the Boston Celtics in 1979 (one season), then to the Detroit Pistons (waived in 1981 due to injuries), a brief stint with the New Jersey Nets, before landing with the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Eve 1981 in a low-key trade for a second-round pick and cash to bolster depth after Mitch Kupchak's injury. In L.A., he reinvented himself as a potent sixth man on the Showtime-era teams alongside Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and James Worthy, contributing key scoring off the bench to help secure two NBA championships in 1982 and 1985 before concluding his NBA career. Named to the NBA's 75th anniversary team, the 6-10 McAdoo was a force in the NBA and one of it's most prolific scorers winning three scoring titles in succession and is the last player in the league to average 30 points and 15 rebounds per game in 1974. One of the most dominant players in NBA history was still at his peak in 1976, scoring 42 points for the Braves on December 7th of that year. But two days later he was traded to the Knicks and McAdoo tells us that's when he knew this game was actually a business. He remembers what a thrill it was to be on the cover of SI for the first and only time and he recalls how being named MVP is the ultimate prize… until you win an NBA Championship. He tells us how he came off the bench for the first time ever for Pat Riley's teams and while he didn't start most games, he certainly finished them. And he reminisces about meeting his childhood hero Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and what it his relationship was like with Kareem, Riley and Jerry West. One of the smoothest to ever do it in the NBA… Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo on the Past Our Prime podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
