Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Kareem (With Mignon McCarthy)

Description: "He was an indomitable force in the NBA for two decades, effortlessly flicking his trademark 'skyhook' over helpless defenders. In his storied career he would be named the league's most valuable plyayer six times, capture six championship rings, and become the most prolific scorer in basketball history.

"But there is more to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar than the sports legend. He is a man of feelings and convictions, a man who has experienced the euphoria of winning and suffered the pain of losing - both on and off the court. In this candid diary of Kareem's last season, you'll enter the locker room with 'Cap' as he reflects on his life in the NBA: the grueling battles under the boards, his hot-and-cold relationship with the press, his thoughts on his teammates and opponents - and the grand send-offs he received in his final tour of the league. Most of all, you'll get a vivid sense of what it's like to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time."
