He has won championships at every level of competition - high school, collegiate, professional, and international. His college career at Michigan State University reinvigorated the game of basketball. The 1979 National Championship between Michigan State and Larry Bird's Indiana State, with Michigan State winning the NCAA Championship, was the most-watched college basketball game in history. His professional career consisted of 13 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he won five NBA championships, was named to the NBA All-Star team 12 times, was league MVP three times, and NBA Finals MVP three times. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002, and was voted to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team in 1996.
