Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
People still cheat on their wives, that hasn't fallen out of fashion. We all speak of it badly, but it has not fallen out of fashion.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The saying, Those that don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it doesn't just apply to politicians and world leaders, it applies to all of us on a daily basis.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I want to do as little as possible when I finish playing ball - just spend a lot more time with my family.

There are a lot of authors in the world, so it's difficult to find a unique niche to present your take on things. That is always a challenge for any author.
