 The Lakers' team doctors declared Abdul-Jabbar and his bad ankle unfit for Game 6 (he wasn't even allowed to make the trip to Philadelphia with the team because of the swelling), so Laker coach Paul Westhead made a bold move by asking Magic Johnson to jump center.Johnson had no problem and was up to the challenge, although he would lose the famous opening tip to Caldwell Jones.Early on, the Sixers seemed unsure how to counter the matchup problem.
