More quotes by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
As a parent, I have a job as a role model to my children, and by extension, to other young people.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I've had a desire to coach for years. This was something I felt I should do.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Elgin's game was an incredible performance, also. I don't think there's any comparison. Elgin did it without three-point lines. His game was attacking the hoop and hitting jumpers inside 20 feet. Kobe's range is unreal, and he does it his way.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I'm not going to emphasize the sky-hook as much as work with the specific skills of the guys.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I could have skated by as an athlete, but the world is so much bigger and more interesting than any one thing. I didn't want to be pigeonholed as just a jock. I'm also an author, a student of history, and I collect memorabilia from the Wild West. I'm also a son, a father, and a friend.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
There's a ball. There's a hoop. You put the ball through the hoop. That's success.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I needed to go to class I needed to go to practice I needed to have a life away from basketball.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Center is a very tough position to play.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I was a baseball fan myself, I wanted to play baseball.
