Kareem Abdul-Jabbar describes how he became one of the top basketball players of all time: from his childhood, through the influence of his many coaches and mentors, to the historical events that helped shape his life. This book goes far beyond a sports hero autobiography, intertwining civil rights history with issues of identity and what it means to be successful.
it looks like a really good book
It’s my favorite book so far by a landslide.

Why do you think the title is “Becoming Kareem”? How does Kareem become more than
– or different from – who he was before?
What a great book about one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Good read.
