"Big Game James" Worthy


James Worthy was an incredible addition to the Lakers in the 1980s.  He was huge part of Showtime and was unbelievable on the fast break.  But he had a really amazing all-around game.  I recall one time as a kid dropping by the bank to see my dad.  My uncle, who was working there, came out of his office and said, "James Worthy might be the best one-on-one player in the game."  It was likely summertime and the NBA playoffs were in full swing.  He knew I was a big Lakers fan!

These days, I enjoy hearing Worthy sharing old stories.  Besides having a great voice, he is quite funny!
