  • Legenda NBA, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, tampil dalam film dokumenter Bruce Lee, Be Water.
  • Kolektor enam gelar NBA ini pernah menjadi murid sang maestro martial arts dunia tersebut.
  • Kareem Abdul-Jabbar mengatakan, nilai-nilai yang ditanamkan Bruce Lee saat ia belajar bela diri memiliki kontribusi besar terhadap karier basketnya. 

SKOR.id – Legenda NBA, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, secara mengejutkan tampil pada film dokumenter ESPN, Be Water, yang tayang akhir pekan lalu.

Dalam film yang menceritakan kisah hidup aktor laga legendaris, Bruce Lee, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar terlihat  bertarung dengan sosok yang wafat pada 1973 itu.

Duel ini tentu bukan sungguhan karena itu hanya bagian dari film Game of Death yang dibuat pada 1972. Saat itu, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar memerankan tokoh antagonis, Hakim.

Legenda Milwaukee Bucks tersebut ternyata pernah menjadi murid Bruce Lee. Ia mengaku kali pertama bertemu Bruce Lee saat masih berkuliah di University of California (UCLA).

“Saya pertama bertemu Bruce di UCLA. Saat itu, saya ingin melanjutkan studi seni bela diri yang sudah saya mulai saat tinggal di New York,” ujar Abdul-Jabbar. 

“Kami dengan cepat mengembangkan persahabatan serta hubungan guru-murid. Dia mengajari saya disiplin dan spiritualitas dari seni bela diri.”

Salah satu legenda terbesar NBA dengan enam cincin juara tersebut menuturkan, nilai-nilai seni bela diri yang ditanamkan Bruce Lee sangat menunjang karier basketnya.

Itulah salah satu kunci yang membuat Abdul-Jabbar - salah satu master lemparan skyhook - dikenal sebagai bintang besar NBA.

“Saya bisa bermain 20 tahun di NBA, itu juga karena dia (Bruce Lee). Dari belajar bela diri dengannya, saya jadi sosok yang lebih bertanggung jawab," ucap Abdul-Jabbar.

"Karena dia, saya bisa kompetitif dan jarang mengalami cedera,” katanya tentang aktor sudah tidak bisa menyaksikan film Game of Death yang dirilis pada 1978.

Abdul-Jabbar memulai karier NBA pada 1969 bersama Milwaukee Bucks. Bersama klub tersebut, ia berhasil meraih satu gelar juara NBA, yaitu pada musim 1970-1971.

Setelah enam musim membela Bucks, pada 1975 ia hijrah ke LA Lakers. Di sinilah Abdul-Jabbar mereguk kesuksesan luar biasa.

Ia lima kali membawa Lakers memenangi gelar NBA, yaitu pada 1979-1980, 1981-1982, 1984-1985, 1986-1987, dan 1987-1988.

Total, sepanjang kariernya, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar enam kali meraih gelar Pemain Terbaik (MVP) NBA. Tiga kali ia dapatkan bersama Bucks dan tiga lainnya di Lakers.

Sampai saat ini, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar juga menjadi pemain dengan penampilan terbanyak di NBA All-Star Game, yakni 19 kali.

Mantan pemain bintang NBA seperti mendiang Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, dan lain-lain, tidak mampu memecahkan rekornya.
