Abdul-Jabbar signs 2-year, $5 million dea
By KEN PETERS
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who
already owns a string of "mosts" in the NBA, has
added another salary.
The 40-year-old center, who led the Los Angeles
Lakers with 32 points in their championship
clinching victory over Boston last Sunday, has
signed a two-year contract with the club that will
pay him more than $5 million.
The contract calls for $2 million for next season
and $3 million in 1988-89, according to a source
close to the negotiations, with the second-year
salary the richest ever in team sports.
Jim Rice of the Boston Red Sox reportedly
makes $2.4 million per year, Dan Quisenberry of
the Kansas City Royals $2.3 million, and George
Brett of the Royals $2.2 million. The highest-paid
basketball player, Moses Malone of the Washing
ton Bullets, reportedly earns $2.45 million annual
ly.
Abdul-Jabbar's agreement also calls for him to

his pernicious fiscal policy has made the Ea
gles a club that weighs the dollar much heavier
than the team record.
Some of the decisions since Ryan took over
boggle the imagination. A number of veteran
players, many still starters in other NFL
uniforms, were virtually given away. Pro foot
ball people still can't believe that the Eagles
just dropped quarterback Ron Jaworski, mak
ing him a free agent who can sign with any

be a coaching consultant, working with the Lake
rs' centers for five years after he quits playing.
The Lakers obviously would like to land David
Robinson, the Navy center who may become a free
agent after he completes his two-year military
obligation coinciding with the end of Abdul-
Jabbar's playing career.
San Antonio owns the first pick in this year's
college draft and is expected to draft Robinson.
Abdul-Jabbar initially planned to quit after next
season, but Lakers owner Jerry Buss approached
him and his attorney, Leonard Armato, with an
offer to play two more years.
The center's contract was announced by Buss at
a party for the players Tuesday night.
"Naturally, we're very happy to have Kareem
back for two more years," Buss said in a
statement issued by the team. "He remains a'
major force in the league and on this team, and
there is no reason to believe that his productivity
will diminish in the near future."
"I'm very pleased about the fact I'll be able to
continue with the Lakers through the 1988-89
team without compensation to the Eagles
The 76ers also are owner-dominated. Owner
Harold Katz, like Giles, could be a case of
where a little knowledge is dangerous. He, too,
is a super fan who became an owner. Like Giles
he's followed his sport since he was a kid. He
has electronic equipment at home that enables
him to watch games nationwide.
Katz took over the general manager's powers
from Pat Williams, although Williams re
mained as general manager. Now that Wil
season," Abdul-Jabbar said in the statement. "I'm
very flattered the Lakers had the confidence to
sign me for that long, and I hope that the
relationship will continue to be mutually benefi
cial."
A six-time Most Valuable Player in the league,
Abdul-Jabbar averaged 17.5 points a game this
season, lowest of his career, as Laker Coach Pat
Riley decided to shift more of the scoring load onto
Magic Johnson. Johnson became the Most Valu
able Player both in the regular season and the
Championship Series.
Abdul-Jabbar has played an NBA-record 18
seasons and is the league's all-time leading scorer.
He would become the first NBA player to play 20
seasons.
"Playing 20 seasons. wasn't something I was
trying to do, but it looks like I'll have a shot at it,"
Abdul-Jabbar said. "It's already enough seeing
I'm the only 18-year man."
The deal caps another outstanding season for
Abdul-Jabbar, who had just won his fifth NBA title
and fourth with the Lakers in the 'Bos.
hams is gone to the new Orlando Magic
franchise, John Nash takes Katz' orders.
The Sixers had some early success under
Katz, winning the NBA title in 1982-83. Ever
since, the record steadily has declined and the
club has fallen further behind its chief divisio
nal rival, the Boston Celtics. Once, the Sixers,
Celtics and Lakers were the cream of the
league. The Celts and Lakers still are there, but
such teams at Detroit, Milwaukee and Atlanta
appear to have passed Philadelphia.

Katz has been the target of strong criticism
from 76ers' fans for last year's Moses Malone
trade. He sent Malone, a perennial top scorer
and rebounder, to Washington in a deal that
brought Jeff Ruland to Philadelphia.
Ruland, with a history of health problems,
played only 67 of 182 games the two seasons,
prior to coming to Philadelphia. He reinjured
his knee, played in only five games last season,
and last week, unable to pass a team physical,
retired from professional basketball.

Barkley and
Person clash
once again
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) The
setting was far removed from the
coliseums of the National Basketball
Association, but Charles Barkley and
Chuck Person played like the national
title was at stake.
The rising NBA stars and former
Auburn teammates ran, sweated and
pushed each other through a Bir
mingham Summer League game
Tuesday night at Birmingham-South
ern College.
Both said they were out of shape,
but they played the entire game and
guarded each other, finishing with
nearly identical statistics. Barkley
had 33 points, 14 rebounds, two assists
and three blocked shots. Person had
32 points, 14 rebounds, three assists
and two blocked shots.

Person played an aggressive game.
His outside shot wasn't as sharp as
usual, but he drove to the basket
frequently. Barkley was more of a
crowd-pleaser, blocking a layup at
tempt, making a slam dunk and send
ing Person sprawling on the floor at
one point.
"It was fun," said Person, the
• NBA's Rookie of the Year. "I'm out of
shape. My wife and I just got back
from our first anniversary trip to
Hawaii. This is the first playing I've
done since the end of the season."

for Atlanta, which handed San
Francisco its fifth straight loss.
Murphy's seventh-inning homer
crossed up the strategy of San
Francisco Manager Roger Craig,
who brought in right-hander Randy
Bockus to face Murphy and sent
left-handed reliever Keith Coms
tock from the mound to right field.
Murphy hit the first pitch over the
right field fence and Craig then
removed Bockus and brought Com
stock back to pitch.
Mahler, 4-7, retired the first 14
batters he faced before Bob Brenly
homered. Mahler left for a pinch
hitter in the sixth after retiring 18 of
the 19 batters he faced.

pitched a five-hitter and Mike
Fitzgerald hit a grand slam as the
Expos routed Sid Fernandez.
Smith, 5-2, pitched his first com
plete game since Aug. 30, 1986.
Smith, who hadn't survived the
seventh inning in his nine previous
starts, struck out four and walked
four.
Fernandez, 8-3, gave up eight hits
in four innings and was victimized
by two costly errors as he lost for
the first time in his last five deci
sions. He allowed seven earned
runs, the most he has• given up in
one game in his career. The grand
slam was the first Fernandez ever
has given up and Fitzgerald's first.

He also believed the player-man

MILWAUKEE When Milwau

his team to get more aggressive he
meant hitting the ball, not the
Twins.
The Brewers tad 15 hits and also
triggered a bench-clearing brawl in
beating Minnesota 8-5 yesterday.
The Twins had won the last 10
meetings betVveen the clubs dating
back to Aug. 26.
"I was not overly impressed with
the way we played four of the last
five games," Trebelhorn said.
The first altercation occurred af
ter Minnesota's Gene Larkin horn

Lombardozzi, was hit in the back by.
a pitch from pitcher Mark Clear..
Lombardozzi attempted to go after
Clear but was restrained by home
plate umpire Ken Kaiser. Left field

the game after shouting at Clear
and Kaiser.
When order was restored, Butera,'
the next Twins hitter, grounded to
third. Jim Paciorek threw to second
baseman Jim Gantner to force
Lombardozzi. .Gantner completed
the double play with the throw to
