Description
Like many kids, Kareem, known then as Lew Alcindor, struggled to fit in, please a strict father, and deal with severe shyness. Unlike most, he had to grapple with a growth spurt that shot him up taller than everyone else. Also, the country's social unrest and the civil-rights movement tugged at his conscience. Here he tells of his life and career.
