Kareem Abdul Jabbar and the late Muhammad Ali(the Greatest) two true legends who revolutionized the way black people were viewed in america.Theyr'e also beacons of inspiration for muslims everywhere,especially in the US. May Allah grant them peace in this life and the hereafter.
Ali left the NOI shortly after Malcom X was killed.....where you been?
dogless10 Thnx for sharing ur views, I'm no well versed religious scholar but as a muslim myself it should come as no surprise to u when I say that I find David Woods' videos to be full of misrepresentation of facts as well as terribly misleading ( but I'm not trying to criticize ur views here just to be clear).
Frankly speaking, I was just trying to honour these "mighty good men" and wish them all the best for the future and that's about it....
Mega Deoxyz And thx for your reply. I don’t agree with all of Woods’ views ( I’m an atheist and he’s a Christian, after all), but I think his video on Muhammad Ali changing his name is interesting.
I watched the video Typical David Wood using text without understanding:) These books were written 1400 years ago at that time there was no "white" race. Man with a fair color among dark color people would be called a "white" person.
Sure Ali started as an angry black man before he turned to real Islam and grew out of the race to universal appeal.
BTW people like david wood are not "Christians" rather their religion is hate to Islam and muslims. Not much they can do except fool the those who want to be fooled.
I think Colin Kaepernick will the 3rd on that list with time.
Malcom x ,Kareem abduljabar ,muhammed Ali are my heros ,and alhumdllah we share the same belive 🙏🙏

While working at a restaurant, I waited on Kareem when he was still playing basketball and going by Lew Alcindor. He was soft-spoken, gentle, lovely and unpretentious. As we all know, you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat the people waiting on them.

Thank you for such a nice comment, Knights Templar!
@@biomed007 i said the same thing in my mind
This is what I love about Trevor Noah. He brings in guests and has nuanced conversations which help us think about race and religion in a way that other late show hosts can't. So glad Comedy Central brought him on board, right choice.
Absolutely- his interviews have been excellent imo
summersevening Nuanced conversation is SO VERY hard to find in the US. Nuance died in the 1980s, after the arrival of Reagan.
lala lova why do you say that? Not having a go but interested in how you think an American black show host would be heard differently. I'm from the UK so it my context is different and I'm interested in understanding what difference you see.
What's nuanced about this? This is a pretty one-sided POV, the opposite of nuanced.
I would add that Trevor is one of the few hosts who actually reads the books of the guests, reflects on their messages, can engage in a fruitful conversations with them and asks insightful questions. As a viewer you can be pursued to go ahead and read the book instead of hearing some standard, politically correct 'speech' by most other hosts. I really think we will have him around for a long time! Good job Fella!
"We gotta keep fighting until people understand and help us change it in a positive way". Respect!!
Respect? Interested in knowing what you define or consider respect.
He is a traitor to America.

Sweating white American noises
@@songohan3499 Brother, this is not helpful. More than 60% of White Americans are NOT racist! Otherwise Barack Obama would not have been elected President.
Kareem. Such a very nice man. Love both him & Trevor.
Why?
Kareem = Generous
Thoughtful and well spoken.
John G why what?
@John G, he's making a change
Very dedicated man, he became Muslims when Islam was not so familiar like nowadays. May Allah help and guide him. Trevor Noah you are also a good and kind hearted man.
Kareem is a traitor to America.
@Marta Marta we can start with Islam inciting hatred against MOST of America. Koran 9:30, Sahih International.
@@LogansWarning How he is traitor?
@@kibriabd For starters Islam incites hatred against MOST of America.
@@LogansWarning
Islam want to remove all the oppression from the world.
Been my hero since 1974....Just love the man and what he stands for as a person.
Is he a Muslim
He stands for incitement of hatred against most of America and slavery. Does that make you proud?
@MRLEBOZ1 so you think it is a phobia to oppose what incites hatred against MOST of America. While allowing child marriages and lashings. You need mental help.
@MRLEBOZ1 you mean don't want me to speak the truth about Islam. Not happening.
@@firdavsiy1961 which makes him a traitor to America.
Wonderful interview. Kareem is such an open-minded inspirational man. god bless him.
Azza Mohamed Ameeen!!!
Right!!
transylvanian No offense but you need to grow up if you blindly believe that the entire universe came from nothing. All this order was designed, everything was caused by something. Therefore, to avoid infinite regression, it's only logical that everything was ultimately caused by an intelligent all-powerful entity that was uncaused. Whether you call him God or Allah or Jehovah, the point is that He is the Creator of the Universe.
Azza Mohamed subhanarabbiyalAllah
He is a traitor to America.
I'm from the UK - I honestly didn't even know who this guy was. Then I find out he scored more points than Michael Jordan AND he talks like a philosopher. Where is the documentary on this man?
Basketball was played before 1980,you don’t even know who the second all time leading scorer in the NBA is behind the real old goat do you… and it’s not Leflop…
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar always been a positive force in this country. I'm not an athlete but I think I will read his book; one of Trevor's best interviews 👏👏
"It is very difficult dealing with someone you shouldn't have to deal with". Yup!

What a difference. A person that has been given everything, becoming such an ugly, evil, greedy old being. Then, a man who has fought adversity, the odds against him, who is an inspiration to all, and a beautiful soul. Thank you Kareem, for being an inspiration, and a light in this dim world.
Àlys Grant That’s the point: if a kid grows up hard, s/he learns what’s important, more often than not.
The Bible says, “Spare the rod, spoil the child." Not to beat a kid but a little hardship goes a long way to learning life.

Very reassuring Daily Show this is how the conversation starts and continues
Kareem is an impressive person. He’s really incredible and inspiring. The measurement he has compares to none.
Kareem is true 🐐 and everyone deep down knows that but for whatever reason (him being center, not so attractive player, muslim etc) they won't admit it. For crying out loud just look at his stats and how can you even challenge him being the GOAT. He is also probably most intelligent basketball player around and just all-around great role-model.
Kung-Fu Kenny Family &
🐐 #facts
Amen to that. Same for wilt chamberlain
but he is attractive! Anyways, He's such a great player and role model!
Kareem looks great for being above 70.
Awesome haven't heard anything about Mr. Jabbar happy to see him doing well

How can anyone not Love this guy?
One of the most encouraging videos that I have ever seen. I have always admired Kareem Abul jabbar and he is a very intelligent and eloquent gentleman.
Trevor, your interview with Kareem about "Becoming Kareem" is probably some of your best interviewing in your Daily Show career.
Kareem towers intellectually as an exquisite representation of initiative, human excellence, accomplishment and perseverance. The seed of greatness is nurtured by vision, courage, action and prayer.

Alhumdullillah, one of the best, spontaneous and fulfilling interview I have watched 👍
Kareem is what his name means. And his book is one I intend to read in Sha Allah. Came to know of it just now, after watching this interview.
Hats off to Trevor too. A pleasure to watch these two good men of principles.
Thank you for posting 🙂. All I'd say is, when Kareem speaks, we all listen. a great role model for everyone, from every walk of life. thank you Kareem.
Truth, he speaks truth..
Amazing interview with the GOAT. The things I could say about Kareem, wonderful human being that gives me hope for this world. This video should have more views.
Who is here after George Floyd may he rest in peace !!! Everything Kareem says still excists anno 2020 wake up people !!
Yes
Me
Me and I am really listening 👂 carefully
Justice will be served, and in doubt God is the most just.
Kareem is a traitor to America.
I am going to buy that book. Just in case Mr. Abdul-Jabar reads this, my dad is a very white, old man and he voted for Obama. He told me he was very surprised but happy because he never thought a Black man could be President. He also said that when JFK was running for President, he was surprised back then, because everyone said a Catholic could never be President. He voted for Jennifer Granholm, the first woman governor of Michigan. (He did refer to her as "my girl Jenny" but he's old, give him a pass on that---) He said a lot of men his age wouldn't ever vote for a female but he's open-minded. Herbert Hoover was the President when he was born and he said he never thought he would see a worse president..... he's changed his mind on that....I understand Kareem changing his name, because my mother had her name changed by the school to a more "acceptable" American name (she was born in Detroit, but her name was Giovanna, which I think is beautiful, but they said she had to be called "Jennie". The name on her gravestone is "Jennie"; not the same as the name her mother gave her. Peace and fairness everyone.
Beautiful
God bless your Dad... The world is in dire need of people like him.
Bet your dad never thought that an orange man could ever become president, either!
Your Dad loves this country and its people first, then his color. Good man God bless him.
your dad is a great man
People like Karim and Casey makes me wanna do more.
Kareem, Muhammad Ali and Malcom X.. are real figures of what honor is.
9:48 "once the dialogue starts, that's how change begins." ✨
Such a pure soul you hold, legend. May your heart fills up with peace.
One the of best interview ...
His posture is incredible. I mean I know he was a sportsman but I've seen many people in sports lose their posture after retiring.
”My name is Roger Murdoch, and I'm an airline pilot." ... great guy all around :D
Kareem! Such a great personality! That‘s what I thought back then, when I went seeing you opening a street court at a french/german college in Berlin and still think right now! Impressed all the way!
All the best!! Thx 4 having him, Trevor 😊✌🏽
Ma saa Allah & Salam aleikum from Danmark and Pakistan.
Spread the words of Mr.Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Peace👍
Love Kareem. So humble. Speaks so eloquently. Just a great human being.
My first ever comment on youtube . Great interview. Loved the questions .brilliant responses.Just felt like breaking my no comment policy on TH-cam .
Kareem Abdul Jabbar.....What a genuine gem ! It was a treat to listen to Kareem Abdul Jabbar's views and it was a double treat to have someone as intelligent and as focused as Trevor Noah to ask him such pertinent questions ! Trevor's question @ 5:12 -5:58 minutes pointing out something very natural in human behavior when they are subjected to negativity most of the times was very important and the response was equally befitting !!! May both of them remain blessed amen
I'm weirdly proud of Trevor- he's so young and sweet but carries himself with a lot of dignity and decency. It's just great to know people like him are out there.
Here's the voice of reason.
transylvanian not true. I myself a religious person. And also very reasonable. Every person has the right to be or do watever he/she wants as the constitution says. So its wrong buddy to have a general idea like that and apply it on everyone
transylvanian man i respect wat u said. Im not against it
Lets just say just bcoz u believe ib a god doesnt mean i have no logic
Maybe i have my logic and you have yours.
transylvanian it’s more difficult to be atheist than being religious .. it takes a lot of effort to deny that you are born as supernatural event .... regardless of which religion should we practice, we can’t question the presence of a great creator , this is too perfect to be an act of “ chance ‘
transylvanian you speak like those peole who denied earth was round ,existence of electromagnetic waves and so on.
will crow at last!

Thanks Kareem.
You are a leader.
Kareem is so wise and inspiring. And I enjoy the quality of the things Trevor asked.
a huge great man :)
Wow I didn’t realize Emmitt Till would be around 70 if he was still alive. Something about that cuts deep.
Rite..the Civil Rights movement really wasn’t that long ago... thas why I say there are many racist white people who are still walking among us...n the ones who grew up in the Emmitt Till times feel more..let’s jus say once they die off- this country will hv less hate.
I encourage you and support your goals. ..that's true faith....you are practising kareem...May Allah achieve your goals and succeed to what you are looking for. Ameen
What a beautiful soul through these beautiful eyes.
It was two years ago when he was trying police brutality and still it’s going on SubhanAllah 🥺
Who’s watching this video on 2020 and RIP TO George Floyd🥺🙏🏽
hope one day we all get the rights we deserve and be seen as human but not a color or a religion amen
Asma Ali me this is amazing interview
May Allah preserve him 🤲🏼
me... niiice video...
Me too
Great interview and indeed, this man has lots to offer and lots to say. I love his very relaxed and unassuming demeanour.
There is hope out there! Thanks Mr Kareem......God bless you as you do your best to save America.
I met him a time or two as a waitress at Lum's Restaurant. The restaurant was in on what was called the Buck's Building. The bus would stop in front of the building and pick the team up. Many times a number of the team would pop into the restaurant. I don't remember anyone else, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was always respectful and polite and that I remember.
Kareem was a great athlete but is an even greater human being. A noble and honourable man.
Great guy with a big heart and can see positive things even when things are not going so well! God bless you !
Mashaa Allah.. its nice to see him here for such a long time after he retired.
Thank u for this interview of Abdul Kareem.
wait he is SEVENTY???? holy crap
c jannnet younger tahn Trump
I think Kareem would make a good democratic candidate for president
Who cares if he’s Muslim, you don’t need to be Christian to run for president
CoveringFish hes obviously being sarcastic
Cap N Crunch Lmao. 😂😂😂😂😂
Republicans would rip him apart because of his religion
We should have presidents from all religion, that will make humanity understand that we are in all in the same earth.
Such a class act!! Love to hear him speak. Loved and enjoyed watching most of his pro career... thank you Kareem!!
words that came to mind as I listened to this interview: wisdom, calm, respect and dignity
Kareem is a courageous and inspiring man...true leader!
Great interview...grew up hearing of Kareem...dindnt realize how intelligent the man was...will be buying book
mnshallah bro, Kareem talk in a proactive way his words are truthly spoken in a manner that makes sense...may Allah give a good life here and after.
I saw Jabbar's games while in the US. It is so so nice to see him again on your show 2 years after though. Brilliant player . I remember him and Troy Lewis from Anderson Indiana. All the Best to both !!!
Honestly I wasn't going to click on this because I'm not big on sports, but it's Trevor Noah and 99% of the time the conversation is good even if I know nothing about the subject. Well, am I glad. I felt like Kareem was a kindred spirit. Obviously I had to get the boo and see what he's all about. Hope it's a great read.
Wow, Kareem is so old school. He was in a movie with Bruce Lee.
Yeah, he kicked Bruce from across the room.
Ive been Laker fan since Ive been born. I never got to see him play, but always heard about how good he was and saw the videos. I never knew how smart and genuine he is. Love this interview!
Great interview. Kareem is such an honorable man and he carries himself with dignity, every inch on himself. Thank you, Sir.
Plus a cancer survivor!
Really? Wow, thanks for sharing!

You're wrong. I saw both of them play. It's MJ.
Hey Trevor Kareem give me an another perspective of life...... I will amazed when he talk about the positive side...... Wow such a great man...
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar = all class all the time Love this man! And have since the 1970s when I was little. He is a great man!
I'm an atheist, but just because this dude is Muslim isn't a reason to discount his views or what he has done or stands for. Especially on issues that aren't directly related to his religiosity or the religion he practices. My views on religion probably aren't greatly different to the views of the people discounting Kareem, but it's particularly discouraging to see people who likely identify themselves as "free-thinkers," as I do, be so close-minded.
Action Sloth 👏 PREACH
Yes YOU ' - Maybe not the best word to use, but I agree with Sloth. Too many of my fellow atheists and free-thinkers seem to shut down, in a way, when religion is brought into the picture.
Actually everything he said relates directly to Islam, he might seem to be owning up to it, maybe because of the bad media against Islam, but anti pessimism is pretty much hard core Islamic philosophy
He's a man of Faith, that's all I see.
"The mark of an educated mind is to entertain a thought without accepting it"- Aristotle

Brother kareem Abdul Jabber made us proud by his character and achievements. May Allah bless him even more.
