00:00I'm Jill Painter-Lopez with Sports Illustrated here with our very own Melissa Rowland and
00:06it is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar day for his 73rd birthday as NBA TV is debuting games of Kareem
00:12Abdul-Jabbar all day, including one very special one.
00:17Tell us about that, Melissa.
00:18It will be the ninth time that the Lakers and the Boston Celtics met in the finals.
00:24And it was the first time that the Lakers came out on top in that historic rivalry.
00:29Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a huge game and it's actually going to be really cool.
00:34It's a very cool opportunity for Lakers fans and just sports fans in general to hear Kareem
00:39Abdul-Jabbar walk us through that game.
00:41He's going to be providing live commentary.
00:44So that's very unique and interesting way to celebrate his 73rd birthday.
00:48Obviously, he's the NBA's all time leading scorer and still goes down as one of the greatest
00:53players of all time.
