Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
  • I was getting hot flashes and sweats on a regular basis. That's not normal, even for my age.

  • Today's youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn't take that attitude forward with them.

  • The '80s made up for all the abuse I took during the '70s. I outlived all my critics. By the time I retired, everybody saw me as a venerable institution. Things do change.

  • My grandfather and my uncle both died from colorectal cancer, my dad almost died from it and I have the gene for it.

  • I tell kids to pursue their basketball dreams, but I tell them to not let that be their only dream.
