I once saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar play. It was some time around 1989 or 1990, in my native Brisbane, Australia. Kareem was making a valedictory tour with a team of old guys (Bob McAdoo!) playing against some Aussies including a young Lobo called Luc Longley.

Just recently Kareem has started blogging on the latimes site. The dude is deep! I was blown away by this post, which shows a young Kareem, with hair, and his head up around the rim. The man was once young.
