511 0 Read by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
520 The first memoir for young readers by sports legend Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar. At one time, Lew Alcindor was just another
kid from New York City with all the usual problems: He
struggled with fitting in, with pleasing a strict father,
and with overcoming shyness that made him feel socially
awkward. But with a talent for basketball, and an
unmatched team of supporters, Lew Alcindor was able to
transform and to become Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. From a
childhood made difficult by racism and prejudice to a
record-smashing career on the basketball court as an adult,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's life was packed with "coaches" who
taught him right from wrong and led him on the path to
greatness. His parents, coaches Jack Donahue and John
Wooden, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, and many others played
important roles in Abdul-Jabbar's life and sparked him to
become an activist for social change and advancement. The
inspiration from those around him, and his drive to find
his own path in life, are highlighted in this personal and
awe-inspiriting journey. Written especially for young
readers, Becoming Kareem chronicles how Kareem Abdul-
Jabbar become the icon and legend he is today, both on and
off the court.
520 The NBA all-time leading scorer and Basketball Hall of
Fame inductee presents a memoir that focuses on the
important teachers in his life, on and off the court,
including his strict father, Coach Wooden, and Muhammad
Ali.
