The Ballad of Byron Scott
Birth to now — the making of a legend, narrated and scored.
Turning pro
Drafted 1983 as a Guard.
true
He was traded to the Lakers before he'd played a game for them — a rookie sent to Showtime in exchange for a beloved veteran, arriving to boos and skeptical stares. Then Byron Scott started raining jumpers, and the Forum stopped booing.
Chapter
In a lineup built on Magic's improvisation and Kareem's sky hook, Scott was the spacing, the release valve, the guard who made defenses pay for collapsing. When the fast break broke down, the ball found him on the wing — and more often than not, it went in.
Chapter
He grew up in Inglewood, in the shadow of the very building he'd star in. A local kid who got to play his championship years a short drive from the streets that raised him — the marquee's rare gift, when the hometown boy becomes the headliner.
Chapter
Three rings later he'd come back to coach the franchise that made him. But the enduring image is younger: a smooth shooting guard squaring up on the Showtime wing, the crowd already rising, the shot already good.
