About Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
You know me—or you wouldn’t be here. You know that while I was at UCLA, I’m the reason they banned the slam dunk. You know I broke a lot of records in the NBA, was an NBA champion 6 times, and was Most Valuable Player 6 times. I held the record for most points scored—38,387—for almost 40 years, until LBJ broke it. And I made famous the Skyhook.
I’m proud of what I accomplished as an athlete, but I am equally proud of what I accomplished since leaving the NBA.
