More quotes by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Yoga is somewhat hard to quantify in terms of benefits because you see them in all the injuries you don't get.
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
Today's youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn't take that attitude forward with them.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Actor Mike Warren [was my former teammate], who was in Hill Street Blues. There are more, but it's starting to sound like a team reunion at Red Lobster. They were a great bunch of guys and we accomplished a lot together. That's something you don't forget.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Ignorance is not something that lends itself to a meaningful discussion.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
High school dropouts are forfeiting their opportunity to pursue the American Dream.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
When I was at UCLA, the Harlem Globetrotters offered me a million dollars to come play for them. I turned it down because my education was just as important as playing ball.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The constant expansion has diluted the talent. Other than that, it's still the same game.
