It was a different time than today's All-Star Game as we know now. This All-Star Game saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got booed by the Los Angeles crowd. That is because he was on the Milwaukee Bucks. Still, this was a great game that went back and forth and saw two future hall of famers Dave Cowens and Bob Lanier made their All-Star Game debut. In the end though 4 Lakers who in the Pre-game was cheered loudly because that's their home in the Forum shined brightly and Jerry West game winning shot put an end to a great game.
