I like this book because I like basketball and it explain the steps that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had to take to become a good basketball player. But he wasn't just a good basketball player some people called him the greatest basketball player of all time. They called him this because he was a high school star at Power Memorial Academy in New York City. He also was a college star at the University of California at Los Angeles. And most of all he was a professional star with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers. In 1989 he retired from basketball, but his story is still told today. And that is mostly why i liked this book.
