[Eddie Teach]

If I could be like Mike...

[Valmy]

Kareem, though I admit I probably take into consideration him also being arguably the greatest High School and College player of all time. That probably makes him the greatest Basketball player ever but maybe strictly NBA only Mike or LeBron are better...but even then not by much.

[jimmy olsen]

This is a hard one, because the rules, the league and the circumstances of the game have changed so much over the years.

[Maladict]

Kareem was on the jive plane with Frank Drebin, that has to count for something.

[The Brain]

Yes, clearly Roger Murdock.

[DGuller]

Oh, he really played basketball?

[crazy canuck]

Yes, clearly Roger Murdock.

It's funny how life works, isn't it.

Apparently Kareem accepted the role on Airplane! because he wanted to buy some fancy oriental rug.

I had to look it up - Kareem retired in 1989, but with most of his success in the 70s and early 80s.  While I know of his as a basketball player - what he might be most famous for these days is Airplane!

Much like Wilt Chamberlain is famous for claiming to sleep with 20,000 women.


I'm going to vote for Lebron.

[Duque de Bragança]

Yes, clearly Roger Murdock.

Roger

Over.

And per Slam Dunk Ernest, the Archangel of Basketball.

[Syt]

Yes, clearly Roger Murdock.

Over.

We got clearance, Clarence.

It still is the only thing I know about him. Same with OJ in Naked Gun really, until, well...

I'm guessing you are just too young to have known him as a basketball player. Same with BB. It wouldn't be possible for you to have seen play and not remember him as a basketball player.

Well yeah, but also because American sports just weren't broadcast much, if at all.

I never watched Jordan or Shaquille play, I only knew they were famous basketball players because of Space Jam and Nike.

[Duque de Bragança]

Much like Wilt Chamberlain is famous for a supporting role in Conan the Destroyer. Tasked of guarding the virginity of a maiden princess, no less. 

Fixed!
