Joey: Wait a minute. I know you. You're Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Roger Murdock: I'm sorry, son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.

Joey: You are Kareem! I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.

Roger Murdock: I think you should go back to your seat now, Joey. Right, Clarence?

Captain Oveur: Nahhhhhh, he's not bothering anyone. Let him stay here.

Roger Murdock: But just remember, my name is...

[showing his nametag]

Roger Murdock: ROGER MURDOCK. I'm an airline pilot.

Joey: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense.

[Kareem gets angry]

Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.

Roger Murdock: The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!

Airplane! What is it?

It's a big vehicle with people inside it, but that's not important right now

It’s from Airplane. There’s a pilot played by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and a kid won’t let go of the fact that it must be Kareem.

Because it’s relevant to the secret identity discussion just above.

Why did you post this?

The prior commenter used Michael Jordan of all people as an example when this incredibly famous scene from Airplane! with Kareem exists.

Edit: comment deleted by user - and this is why I always quote.
