Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Airplane
Kareem plays co-pilot Roger Murdoch … sorta. He gets exposed as the star center when a kid visiting the cockpit won’t leave him alone about Kareem’s effort. “Listen, kid,” he snaps. “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!”
