Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is not only a six-time MVP, six-time NBA champion and the guy who scored more points than anyone in the history of the NBA, he also has the greatest supporting actor role in the history of basketball — Roger Murdock in “Airplane.”

“The hell I don’t! LISTEN, KID! I’ve been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I’m out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.”

He and Robert Hays reprise their roles to promote Wisconsin travel and the results are pretty awesome.
