Goodrich was a winner in college and in the NBA. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1996. He was a five-time All-Star who was an integral part of the Los Angeles Lakers' record 33-game winning streak in the 1971-72 championship season. Goodrich led the Lakers in scoring four seasons in a row.
Though he is most remembered as a Laker, Goodrich also played for the Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Jazz. The Lakers retired his number in 1996, and UCLA did the same in 2004.
Goodrich took the Bruins to the 1964 and 1965 national titles. He was a two-time All-American, and shared the Helms Foundation's Player of the Year honor with Princeton's Bill Bradley in 1965.

ANDRE ALDRIDGE
NBA TV ANCHOR
Aldridge began his broadcasting career in 1992 in Los Angeles and feels a special kinship to Las Vegas and loves the idea of the NBA All-Star Game being here.
"I'm from Southern California, so for me, it's like I'm going to home to Vegas," he said. "I don't know what the locals think about that with all the Southern Californians who go there a lot of the time, but I feel like it's home. Obviously, I'm biased, but it's the premier sport having an event in my favorite city."
Aldridge advanced to the national level in 1996 when ESPN hired him as a reporter and anchor, most notably with shows NBA Tonight, NBA Match Up and Friday Night Fights. He also hosted an ESPN Radio show that covered the NBA.
In 1999, CNN hired him, and he was an anchor and host for several shows, including This Week in the NBA and Sports Tonight.
Aldridge joined NBA TV in 2002, and hosts NBA TV GameNight Live.
RICK KAMLA
NBA TV ANCHOR
Kamla, a long-time expert on fantasy sports who has taken his knowledge to the network, said he can see the All-Star Game coming back to Las Vegas.
"It's what I think is the best blend of entertainment and sports," he said. "I have no idea if an NBA team will ever come to Las Vegas, but I wouldn't be surprised if the NBA All-Star Game comes back to Las Vegas. I think it will be a rousing success, and it could be a situation where maybe every 10th year it comes to Vegas or every fifth year it comes to Vegas."
Kamla began at NBA TV in January 2003, hosting Gatorade Virtual GM.
He hosts NBA TV Fantasy Hoops Presented by Toyota and is a co-host of Basketball International. He gained popularity as a fantasy expert on the Internet. Kamla has served as senior basketball and football editor for Fanball.com and Fantasy Football Weekly since 1994.
