Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, a six-time NBA champion and the league’s only 6x MVP. He is one of a handful of influential and respected black men in America who has a national platform as a regular contributing columnist for newspapers and magazines around the world, such as The Guardian and The Hollywood Reporter where he shares his thoughts on some of the most socially relevant and politically controversial topics facing our nation today. After 50 years as an athlete and activist, he offers his perspectives as a nationally recognized speaker who regularly appears on the lecture circuit. Currently, Abdul-Jabbar serves as the chairman of his Skyhook Foundation whose mission is to “Give Kids a Shot That Can’t be Blocked” by bringing educational STEM opportunities to underserved communities through innovative outdoor environmental learning. A NY Times best-selling author, he has written 14 books, including two recent memoirs: Becoming Kareem for young readers, and Coach Wooden and Me about his lifelong friendship with famed UCLA coach John Wooden. His Emmy Award-winning HBO Sports documentary, Kareem: Minority of One, debuted as HBO’s most watched and highest rated sports documentary of all time. In 2017 Abdul-Jabbar, an avid numismatic coin collector, was appointed as the first African-American to the CCAC (Citizens Coin Advisory Council) in its 100-year history, where he helps decide on all coins that are to be minted in The United States. Before leaving office President Barack Obama awarded Abdul-Jabbar The Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. Our episode today is all about lessons Kareem has learned throughout his life, including takeaways from his famous friends Muhammad Ali, Coach John Wooden, and Bruce Lee. He shares advice about his journey for finding great mentors and coaches, as well as insights about speaking out, humility, and discovering who you are. He suggests starting by reading and learning more about your interests. He leaves listeners with the advice, “The most important thing to understand is knowledge is power. Someone who is informed is taking the right steps to achieving their goals.”

NBA’s all-time leading scorer? Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Six-time NBA champion? Kareem Abdul Jabbar. 50 years of athleticism. THAT’S peak performance. Then he combined his career with activism, philanthropy (President Obama awarded him with “The Presidential Medal of Freedom,” the nation’s highest civilian honor.). He’s also collaborated with HBO documentaries to create the highest rated sports documentary in history.   I don’t know anything about sports. But I’m grateful I got to learn from Kareem.

Today, we're talking sports. And when we branch into a new topic with a new guest, we don't cheap out. That's why we're talking to arguably the best player in the history of basketball. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar needs no introduction, and any bio I'd even attempt here would pale in comparison to reality. You know who he is. In the years since retirement, Kareem has become a prolific author, and his newest book is Becoming Kareem: Growing Up On and Off the Court. It's a middle grade memoir that doesn't pull any punches and is WELL worth your time, regardless of how old you are. In addition to books about his career, he's also written a number of graphic novels about Mycroft Holmes! On this episode, we talk about Becoming Kareem, the enduring messages of the book, how history seems to be repeating itself, the Take a Knee movement in professional sports, the Skyhook Foundation, and where the Presidential Medal of Freedom ranks in a lifetime of achievements.
