“The Drive for Five: The Los Angeles Lakers ‘86-’87 Championship Season on and off the Court.” CBS/Fox. $19.98. The 1986-87 Lakers team was such a beautiful and potent basketball machine that it seems almost mandatory for the season’s highlights to be compiled on videotape. While this 60-minute visual diary of the past Laker season has glitches (too many floor-level shots and gimmicky player features), it does contain the major high points--from the Lakers’ record-setting 29-0 first-quarter blitz of Sacramento to the championship victory over Boston. Featuring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s unstoppable skyhook, Magic Johnson’s deft passes and James Worthy’s glide-pattern dunks, the video is also well narrated by the nonpareil voice of the Lakers, Chick Hearn. Information: (212) 819-3200. ***
