Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told NBA TV he would probably continue in his role with the Lakers as a special assistant to Phil Jackson.

The Memphis Grizzlies received permission recently to interview Abdul-Jabbar and reportedly were quite serious about having him join their coaching staff.

"I'm not really going to try and change my situation at this point," Abdul-Jabbar said. "I'm still with the Lakers and I'm probably going to stay there because that's the best situation for me. I had to alter things a little, but it's a great situation in Los Angeles.

"They've got a great chance at repeating."
