James Worthy is a former professional basketball player who has a net worth of $12 million. James Wortyh played for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers from 1982 to 1994. With the team, he won three NBA championships in the latter half of the 1980s, and was named the NBA Finals MVP for his third tournament win in 1988. Earlier, as a college basketball player, Worthy helped lead the North Carolina Tar Heels to the 1982 NCAA championship title.

Early Life and High School

James Worthy was born on February 27, 1961 in Gastonia, North Carolina. As a teenager, he was a star basketball player at Ashbrook High School, leading his team to the state championship game in his senior year. Worthy was also chosen to play in the 1979 McDonald's All-American Game. The same year, he represented the United States men's national team at the FIBA U19 World Championship in Brazil, leading the team to a gold medal.

Collegiate Career

For college, Worthy attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he played basketball for the Tar Heels. After a freshman season that was truncated due to a broken ankle, Worthy helped the Tar Heels to a runner-up finish in the NCAA tournament in 1981. He took the team all the way the following year, winning the 1982 NCAA championship title alongside such fellow future NBA stars as Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins. Worthy was named the NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player. Due to his success, he chose to forgo his senior year at UNC and enter the NBA draft.

Los Angeles Lakers

In the 1982 NBA draft, Worthy was chosen by the Los Angeles Lakers. He had an impressive rookie season with the team, averaging 13.4 points per game and posting a .579 field goal percentage, a record for a Lakers rookie. Worthy quickly became renowned for his speed and spectacular "Statue of Liberty" dunks. However, his season ended prematurely in April due to a broken leg. Worthy came back strong for the 1983-84 season to help the Lakers advance to the NBA Finals, where they ultimately lost to the Boston Celtics in seven games. The team faced off against the Celtics again in the 1985 NBA Finals, this time emerging victorious in six games. Although the Lakers narrowly missed the Finals in 1986, Worthy earned his first of seven consecutive All-Star selections. The next season was among the Lakers' best, as the team posted a 65-17 record en route to another NBA championship title, once again by beating the Celtics in six games. Worthy dominated the playoffs that year, leading the Lakers with 23.6 points per game.

In the 1987-88 regular season, Worthy averaged 19.7 points per game and scored a career-high 38 points against the Atlanta Hawks. He once again led the Lakers in scoring in the playoffs, culminating in an NBA Finals appearance against the Detroit Pistons. The Lakers went on to defeat the Pistons in seven games, giving Worthy his third NBA championship title; moreover, he was named the NBA Finals MVP. In 1989, the Lakers and the Pistons faced off in an NBA Finals rematch, but this time the Pistons won in a sweep despite the incredible performance of Worthy, who recorded a career-high 40 points in the fourth and final game. The next season, the Lakers led the NBA with a 63-19 record, but fell to the Phoenix Suns in the Conference semifinals. Worthy led the team back to the NBA Finals in 1991, but struggled with an ankle injury as the Chicago Bulls won the championship in five games. Unfortunately, that injury marked the beginning of the end of his playing career, as further injuries over the subsequent years robbed him of his speed and leaping ability. In late 1994, Worthy announced his retirement after 12 seasons in the NBA.

Personal Life

Early Life

Edward Charles O'Bannon Jr. was born on August 14, 1972, in Los Angeles, California. He was a 6-foot-8 power forward who played at Artesia High School.

Basketball Career

Ed O'Bannon was the number nine overall pick by the New Jersey Nets in the 1995 NBA Draft. He signed a three-year, $3.9 million deal but soon became homesick.

He then played in the CBA for the La Crosse Bobcats before going overseas to play professionally in Italy, Spain, Greece, Argentina, the ABA, and Poland. After the NBA, he only played on one-year contracts and never made more than $400,000 in a season. Over his pro career, O'Bannon played for 12 different teams in at least six countries and for 15 coaches.

O'Bannon v. NCAA

Ed was the lead plaintiff in the O'Bannon vs. NCAA which is an antitrust class action lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association regarding the use of images of college athletes by the NCAA and whether the players should be compensated for their usage. In 2018, he published his book about his fight with the NCAA, "Court Justice: The Inside Story of My Battle Against the NCAA." O'Bannon supported the Fair Pay to Play Act, a California law that allowed college athletes to receive endorsement deals.

After the Supreme Court ruled that the NCAA restricted trade in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act in NCAA v. Alston, the NCAA allowed student athletes to be compensated for their image, name, and likeness.

Personal Life

O'Bannon and his wife, Rosa, have three children together and live in Henderson, Nevada. Their daughter Jazmin played college basketball at UNLV.

Ed attended UNLV to continue earning his bachelor's degree, and in the summer of 2011, he returned to UCLA to complete his studies. He graduated that fall with a degree in history.

Ed O'Bannon is the older brother of Charles, who won the championship with him at UCLA and went on to play for the Detroit Pistons. His half-brother, Turhon O'Bannon, played college football for the New Mexico Lobos and professionally for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League.

Varejão entered the NBA draft in 2004 and was selected by the Orlando Magic. That summer, he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, with which he would go on to play for 13 seasons. In his rookie season, Varejão averaged 4.9 points per game over a total of 54 games. After missing the first 32 games of the next season due to a dislocated shoulder, he returned to play in 48 games. Varejão went on to contribute to the Cavaliers' 2006 playoff run, averaging 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. He helped the team considerably in the playoffs again the next year, averaging six points and six rebounds across all 20 of the Cavaliers' playoff games.
