The 10-year anniversary of this NBA.com chat with
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently passed (kudos to M. Haubs from
The Painted Area for the reminder). Thanks to the Internet Archive, we can still enjoy this exquisite unintentional comedy from the early years of the web.
I don’t know how many players in the
NBA use marijuana, though we do know now about
Noah. We’ve previously heard issues with Allen Iverson, Chris Webber, Robert Parish, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Rasheed Wallace and at one time most of Portland, though it is a particularly liberal place.
Shaq’s criticisms didn’t end with Kobe. He also
took the opportunity to bash Patrick Ewing and imply
that he’s had a better career than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Patrick Ewing never won a championship. Ewing was denied by Jordan five times, Olajuwon once, and Tim Duncan in 1999. Shaq is more than familiar with all three of those guys. Olajuwon gave O’Neal the lesson of his life...

Pat Riley resigned as Miami’s head coach on
Monday, almost two weeks after the Heat finished a

In Game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals
Magic Johnson stepped in for the injured Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
as the Lakers starting center. Prior to the game, the then 20 year old rookie boarded the plane and confidently declared “never fear, E.J. is here.”
"I saw my first Celtics-Lakers rivalry game in
1969," Abdul-Jabbar recalled Sunday, referring to a matchup in
the NBA finals a few months after he completed his college career at UCLA. "I never had a hatred for them. When I was in high school, I was a Celtics fan. I got to meet (then-Boston stars) Bill Russell, (John) Havlicek, (Bob) Cousy, those guys, when I was in ninth grade."
Sure, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel just released
a new book , but did Buckeye boosters give
him $1 million to write it? Because that’s what Bill Russell will be receiving for sharing stories about Red Auerbach . The NEW YORK OBSERVER slams down news that the former Celtics center will be receiving a cool mil to pen a missive about the former cigar-chomping Celtics coach & GM. ...
Kareem Abdul Jabbar is a player who could
have averaged 50 points a game if he wanted
to, in High School, College and the pros. Many call Michael Jordan the greatest basketball player ever, but how many basketball GM’s would take Michael over Kareem if that were truly their choice in a draft.

Ollie Taylor rode the bench in high school
before jumping center against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in college and
playing against Julius Erving and Rick Barry in the ABA. Along the way, he set numerous National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) records while leading San Jacinto to the 1968 national title. Taylor followed that up by lifting Houston to a Sweet 16 appearance in 1970.
A franchise's past and future will be seamlessly
