League Search Page > NBA > Los Angeles Lakers > Roster & Statistics

The 1976–77 Los Angeles Lakers revolved around Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whose dominant interior scoring, rebounding, and shot blocking anchored both ends of the floor. Lucius Allen directed the offense as the primary playmaker, while Cazzie Russell supplied dependable secondary scoring and Kermit Washington strengthened the frontcourt with rebounding and defensive presence. Strong interior play, balanced scoring, and effective ball movement defined a team that relied on efficiency rather than perimeter shooting.
