    Brothers like James Worthy, Bob Mcadoo, etc make me proud to be where I'm from. Dude is a class act. And believe me they are the one's that made it. During my military stint I'd tell guys if you think they could play it's the ballers that didn't make it that helped the one's that made it Excell on the court.

    He said Gray y. Bring Back memories You're playing for your school? But you're playing You're games At the YMCA.

  16. shooty boo

    Mr Worthy is so intelligent, I'm not used to hearing Americans speak like that too often. Great command of the language. Get command of the basketball too!

  17. Tracey Hassell

    Big Game James is truly a real guy who had a tremendous amount of ability to play basketball. Enjoyed the interview, fellas. The 80s was a great decade for hooping.

  20. rohbjennings

    Lakers have done Big Game wrong, he should already have a statue outside of the Lakers home areana with all the other Lakers legends

  25. Zu

    James Worthy has to be the most underrated Laker and may be basketball player of all time

  26. Zu

    In the beginning James Worthy was like you’ll laughed too hard about him saying he had a radio face. James is a handsome man. Looks like Marvin Gaye

  27. T Downing

    This is a Diamond! Big Game James is a true legend. As an old head myself, this one was priceless. The way he told stories and his reverence for Kobe’s intellect…Awesome. Thank you both for making this happen.

  34. Stephen Connell

    I watched the whole thing start to finish. You guys got a good thing going. You both handle yourself real well and complement each other real well, Boston fan. Lot of respect for James Worthy great show guys

  35. Everett Tanner

    Greatest Power forward ever first step hold the ball up pump it spin we going back down on the other end . Gas house finest

  37. Carey Mahoney

    Fave ep so far! Yeah, '84 still hurts. My two main sports teams both blew it that year, damn.

    Worthy could've dropped 25 a night with just about any other team. Nique would've been an interesting fit. His spectacular play was made for Hollywood, haha.

    Man, oh man, to be a Showtime Laker running amok at The Forum Club, lol…

  39. patrick y

    James being humble " I was the best player for 3 weeks". MJ had his moments, but James was THE man.He LED that team to the '82 chip at UNC.

  40. patrick y

    Forget about MJ hitting the game winner to beat my beloved Hoyas. UNC had a FOINE sister cheerleader named Angela. Me and my boys had a crush on her while I was in the USAF. When that final buzzer went off she jumped into James'arms!!! We was like " YEAH JAMES!!!! " YOU THE MAN!!!" He ended up marrying her too. James was the big man on campus.
