What if James Worthy had never finished his career with the Showtime Lakers?

NBA Hall of Famer and three-time champion James Worthy joins longtime teammate Byron Scott and Jay Wagers on Fast Break to revisit the moments that defined his legendary career.

Worthy opens up about the rumored trade that nearly sent him to Dallas, how he reacted to hearing the news, and the conversations that followed with Lakers management.

The former teammates also look back at the fierce Lakers-Celtics rivalry, the mistake against Boston that Worthy still thinks about decades later, and the unforgettable performances that earned him the nickname "Big Game James."

From battling Larry Bird's Celtics to winning Finals MVP against the Detroit Pistons, Worthy shares firsthand stories from one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history.

The conversation then shifts to the modern Lakers, as Worthy and Byron assess Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, JJ Redick, and whether Los Angeles has the chemistry and toughness to compete for another title.

A rare conversation between two Showtime teammates about championship basketball, unfinished business, and the future of the Lakers.
