NBA

San Antonio is going to be a wagon for awhile here. Think they are still a move away but they have plenty of ability to make that move when they choose to do so.

Excellent article. Kareem definitely deserves to be up there in any discussions with MJ and Lebron imho.
I actually played against Kareem in Catholic grade school scrimmage since our parishes were close to each other. He played varsity at Power year one, but still becoming more coordinated and skilled. By his second year, he became dominant completely destroying Valentine Reid of LaSalle HS, considered at the time to be best CHSAA big in NYC. (which I saw in person) From sophomore year on, he was most dominant HS big man in the country. Obviously that continued at UCLA to the point the NCAA banned dunking for a short time. His pro record & championships speak for itself.

I am not one to get mired in touting old school guys over current players, but Kareem imo was clearly a top of list guy at every level he played at, much like guard Oscar Robertson.

Please no mourning what could have been if Joe Lapchick was not pushed out by SJ brain trust at age 65. Then again, I guess I just did that. 😇
