Part of the "Kareem Showtime Photo Collection" (Lot 18), this fantastic image taken by Lakers team photographer Malek Mansour shows his friend during the 1983 NBA All-Star Game at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, CA. Abdul-Jabbar led the West with 20 points and four blocks, but the East won, 132-123. Kareem has autographed the 8x10 original Type 1 photo in perfect 10/10 black marker with his number “33” inscribed. It was gifted to Kareem’s ex-girlfriend Brenda Venus 40 years ago and has never before been offered.

 

Kareem retired from the NBA following the 1988-89 season as the league’s all-time leading scorer with 38,387 points. The 7’ 2” center led UCLA to three consecutive NCAA titles (1967-69) before winning six NBA championships (five with the Lakers in the 1980s).
