More quotes by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I think someone should explain to the child that it's OK to make mistakes. That's how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I was latching on to something that was part of my heritage, because many of the slaves who were brought here were Moslems.

I don't really care who's doing drugs in the NBA as long as the scene isn't adversely affecting my team and teammates. I've known enough drug users-going as far back as grade school and the streets of New York-not to view them as pariahs or lost souls. I've certainly smoked more than my quota of weed.

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
Reporters used to ask me the same inane questions year-in and year-out, city-to-city, and it would drive me crazy.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I've had a desire to coach for years. This was something I felt I should do.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I think the NBA players have to be held accountable in a reasonable way, just like any other professionals.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I have to say I have an incredible musical education because of my father.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I've kept in touch with many of my former teammates: Bob Marcucci was our team manager and we bonded over our passion for baseball.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The 3-point shot has created a situation in the game akin to 'Lotto' fever.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I'm not exaggerating when I say that the 761st was Patton's best tank unit and nobody knew about it.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
A lot of young players don't really know much about the history of the game and a lot of them are missing out on what the game is all about, especially the whole concept of sportsmanship and teamwork.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Ignorance is not something that lends itself to a meaningful discussion.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Good thoughts are no better than good dreams, unless they are executed.

Islam is about finding your own space.
