Kurt Rambis · Due to the dynamic star power of the 1986-87 Los Angeles Lakers, it’s understandable that the contributions of its role players are occasionally overlooked. That being said, it’s hard to win four championships without the support of guys like Kurt Rambis. The power forward demonstrates his value in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, finding some open space in the lane thanks to the extra attention paid to his star-studded teammates. As soon as Rambis’ defender fixes his eyes elsewhere, a teammate whips a pass into the post, where Rambis is dutifully waiting to gobble the ball up and slam it home past the Boston Celtics. Rambis produced eight points, five rebounds and two assists in 20 efficient minutes off the bench, helping the Lakers to a 141-122 victory and a 2-0 series lead on June 4, 1987. · State of Mint
