From the goat basketball player to the most amazing coach and person coach wooden. What a privilege to have witnessed two great humans working together and reaching unknown heights. Bless you coach wooden and Kareem as well.
Coach Wooden gets a huge assist from Kareem on the making of some extraordinary memories. I enjoyed the book a great deal and learned alot about John Wooden as well as KAJ.
mike, I knew Lew at UCLA (I graduated in 68 snd he in 69) and he was a very fine young man who at first was homesick for New York. He became very good friends with my brother and would visit our apartment at 400 Veteran and hang out. Lew was and extremely bright, erll sooken, and principled person who absolutely developed a mutual respect for Wooden. I had not known he wrote this book. Glad to know you liked it. I shall pick up a copy.
As a young boy I would watch you play. My father said watch this man..I was 12 years old..I watched you raise your arm and the hook shot...I was just a young boy ..I would practice your shot every day
Coach Wooden coached at my alma mater, Indiana State University. ( long before Larry Bird played there ). Wooden wanted the best players. Color was irrelevant during that segregated time to Coach Wooden. ISU didn't like Wooden's style of play because he played blacks without hesitation, if they were good ball players. He left ISU. The rest is history. The cream always rises to the top. Wooden was a great man as well as a great coach.
Surah 1. The Opening 1. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 2. Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; 3. Most Gracious, Most Merciful; 4. Master of the Day of Judgment. 5. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. 6. Show us the straight way, 7. The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.
Charlie Rose seems like such a blunderbuss compared to everyone else here "He was Christian and you were Muslim.?" come on dude, did you have him on this show to ask him about that?
Wiscy played in 2015 finals and lost to Duke. 2016 was Unc loss against NOVA. 2017 Zags vs UNC. UNC redemption. You lied Kareem. 2014 my UCONN HUSKIES beat UK.
Kareem has a great bond for his coach because his coach had Sam Gilbert pay hin and his "freshman dorm roon" was Kirk Douglas's mansion. Dirty John Wooden couldnt win without buying players.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has actually spoken and written about how race figured into his relationship with John Wooden. Race figured into the way their relationship was perceived by the public and was something they were aware of and thought about, too. Race is just another part of their story, there's no shame in talking about it.

Whenever coach wooden spoke of kareem, his eyes always lit up! Kareem was the greatest player ever. ❤
What impresses me most about Kareem is his integrity. Will be interesting to see what is in his book. God bless everyone

..what is ironic is that Kareem is speaking with **Charlie Rose** about morals and principles however!
One of the greatest sports man ever.
I highly recommend his book.
Kareem is 70 here.. looks like he’s 50
Kareem is a treasure
John Robert Wooden is one of Greatest couches.
I hear he makes a pretty good futon too.
it's KAREEM ABDUL JABBAAAAAR

UCLA Bruins basketball star
I'M John Wooden Last President of College Basketball 😊😊😊😊..+
Coach Wooden didn't treat Edgar Lacy very well. Do a TV Special on that relationship.
How do you know 🤔??😢
wooden was not 5’5” but

these interviewers need to shutty and let the man speak

Why did she refer to coach as a white guy
Because she like her friend in Oprah. Both racist
More like Kareem's bond with Sam Gilbert and his money.
Kareem has a great bond for his coach because his coach had Sam Gilbert pay hin and his "freshman dorm roon" was Kirk Douglas's mansion. Dirty John Wooden couldnt win without buying players.
Even if that is true, their competitors did the same kinds of things.
Stfu
@@tubewatcher38 it's NOT TRUE
All lies. Gilbert gave KAJ nothing. He only co-signed for a loan on Luscius Allen's car.
The liberal in the room has to bring up race of course
That's pretty much all they have, isn't it. That, their weed, and their conservative hatred. Let them have it.
