Book James Worthy
James Worthy is an American former small forward, nicknamed "Big Game James," who spent his entire 12-season NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003. At North Carolina he was a consensus first-team All-American, shared national player of the year honors and led the Tar Heels to the 1982 NCAA title, earning the tournament's Most Outstanding Player award. The Lakers made him the first overall pick of the 1982 draft, and he made the All-Rookie Team the following season. A key scorer in the Lakers' fast-breaking Showtime offense, he won three NBA championships, and in 1988 he was named NBA Finals MVP. He was a seven-time All-Star and made the All-NBA Team in 1990 and 1991. The league later included him on both its 50th and 75th anniversary teams of all-time greats. Worthy is also a member of the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, inducted in 1997. He was known for his speed, his ability to finish with either hand and his play above the rim.
