Star Trek: Top 10 Unexpected Cameos

6. James Worthy - NBA Basketball Player

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjj807gBH9w Did you ever watch an episode of Star Trek and think what great basketball players Klingons could be? They're tall, muscular, and downright competitive - all qualities you find in a great NBA player. Well, it turns out that Klingons are indeed great basketball players. In fact, the Klingon named Koral in the Gambit episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation just happens to have been a great player for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers. While serving time in the NBA, Koral went by the obviously invented name of James Worthy. Koral, who is tall even for a Klingon, played 12 seasons for the Lakers. He helped his team win the championship three times and eventually got himself elected to the NBA Hall of Fame.
