Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The Sixties was a perfect storm of disaffection with political leaders trying to pass off the same old platitudes to maintain the status quo and an unexpected courageousness in the masses of youth. Nothing on this scale had ever happened before in U.S. history and it hasn't happened since.

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 hope to be involved in a successful movie script.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I think black Americans expect too much from individual black Americans in terms of changing the status quo.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
You're never really cancer-free and I should have known that.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The game has basically not changed since I ended my career.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
High school dropouts are forfeiting their opportunity to pursue the American Dream.

I think race has been a burden for black Americans. Being Muslim has also been a challenge because so many people do not understand Islam.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Reporters used to ask me the same inane questions year-in and year-out, city-to-city, and it would drive me crazy.
