Former Lakers player and head coach Byron Scott believes former teammate Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the greatest player in basketball history.
Everyone has already called Jordan the greatest player in history, but with all my love for Jordan, it’s hard for me to say who is the greatest because everyone played in different eras.
In my opinion, Kareem was the greatest. If you look at what he accomplished in school, in university, and as a professional, you won’t find a player who can match him. If you talk about the amount of work, he is the greatest in history, Scott said.
