Kareem Abdul-Jabbar interview on his Life and Career (2007)

It would be difficult to name another athlete who dominated his sport as long or as completely as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The greatest all-around player in the history of professional basketball, he ruled the sport through speed, agility and a devastating ambidextrous “sky hook” shot that sportswriters dubbed “the ultimate weapon.”

In the three seasons he played for the UCLA Bruins, he led the team to three NCAA championships and was named Most Outstanding Player in all three years, the only player in the history of the college game to hold this distinction. As a professional, his career was even more remarkable. In his 20 seasons in the NBA, he played in 19 All-Star Games, won six championship titles and six Most Valuable Player awards. Over the course of his career, he blocked more than 3,100 shots, made 17,400 rebounds and scored 38,837 points, making him the highest-scoring player in NBA history, a record that may never be broken.
Adored by his fans and revered by his teammates, he retired to the most heartfelt tributes in sports history. Since retirement, he has chosen to pursue a second career as an author, enjoying success with books on African American history, World War II, the Harlem Renaissance and his own experiences coaching basketball on an Apache Indian reservation. One of the most durable athletes in the history of any sport, he has gone on to earn the world’s enduring respect for his accomplishments as a human being.

Thoughtful and articulate, always intelligent and focused. Cap is outstanding as a player and thought leader.

[@gravenewworld6521]

I’ve always found Kareem so calming to listen to

[@TratUsYT]

Such a smart articulate man. Nba players now are lacking this. And he’s so humble and appreciative of those who helped get him there. What a legend and great man. Love Kareem.

Kareem is a man that will make u love the sport of Basketball. He and magic worked tirelessly on their game. They put team before self that's the most important way to win consecutively like they did. They had great role players in the 80s also

[@thomasingram8713]

Its warming to see him in 2007 accurately attribute a lot of tension in the islamic world to the response to western colonialism. Islam is an extremely peacful religion, and violence done in the name of Islam (like violence done in many other religions) is misrepresentation of the faith.

[@TheKnobCalledTone.]

I was hoping he'd talk a bit more about how Stuttering John was the head writer of the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar roast.

[@999triple4]

He sounds like Tim Duncan

[@themambaatlasn3272]

Tim Duncan sounds like him *

[@Aaron_Scissorhands]

I think you're the greatest, but my dad always said you never worked hard enough on defense. And he said that lots of times, you never even ran down court. And that you never even really tried, except during the playoffs.
