'Jan 1. 2000...The Inside Look ... NBA on NBC...

with James Worthy and Michael Jordan

The owner of three NBA Championship rings with the Los Angeles Lakers, James Worthy will always be remembered for his breathtaking athletic ability, blinding speed and one-handed tomahawk dunks.Worthy joined the Lakers in 1982 after being drafted out of North Carolina with the top pick in the 1982 NBA Draft, only a few months after winning an NCAA championship with the Tar Heels. Worthy, who teamed with Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins at UNC, was a First-Team All-American as a junior and was also named Final Four MVP for 1982.
