Dodgers: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Honors the Life and Legacy of Tommy Lasorda

An athlete playing in the city of Los Angeles really needs to make an impact on his team to be remembered the way that Tommy Lasorda is. The legendary Dodgers manager has become synonymous with the city and the team with over 70 years in the organization in his long life. 

Lakers Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar certainly knows what it takes to be remembered your city once your playing days are over. Kareem played 14 seasons with Los Angeles, winning 5 championships here along the way. He issued a statement this weekend via the Dodgers, remembering Tommy and what he meant to the city. 



Listen in as Kareem talks about the Dodgers winning the World Series in 2020 to make Tommy proud. He also talks briefly about how much Tommy loved this team and city, and that he went out as proud as ever of his team.
