Kareem became an instant force in the league, bringing finesse and agility to the center position, which had previously seen brute force and strength rule.

Of all the personal titles and recognition that Kareem has achieved, perhaps his greatest feat, and certainly one that is most closely attributed to him, was becoming the all time NBA scoring leader with 38,387 points.

 Magic vs Kareem
Simply put, I believe the Lakers entire offense was built around Kareem, and the Showtime fast breaking was the benefit of pressing guards and forwards who knew there was a 7 foot 3 roadblock standing in the lane.
Kareem had won nothing with the Lakers before Magic came to town (and eventually they got Worthy, on a pick acquired for Don Ford, believe it or not- after that, the league actually refused to let Cleveland trade for a few years, I think).
While Kareem only won one title without Magic, he did win a title- with a supporting cast(an aging Oscar Robertson and a bunch of 8th men) far less stellar than Magic's 1990/1991 teams.

Kareem hasn't always felt at peace in his own skin -- he wrote in his autobiography, "Giant Steps," about feeling awkward and self-conscious as a lanky kid, and about feeling harassed and ogled by fans and the press as an adult superstar.
Watching Kareem joke around with Jenkins and Nickerson, I imagine how he must have missed that easiness these last several years, and how good it must feel to back in step with it right now, to be in his element.
Kareem's a jazz fan, and this is a jazz dream, a dream about ensemble, a fantastic working out of the dynamics between the responsibilities and expressions of each individual and the coherence and accomplishment of the community.

This would come to change rapidly as Kareem was introduced to fluffy deep-tek-house after many a bacchanalian night in the legendary Robert Johnson in Offenbach (near Frankfurt).
But the sad times will soon be over; with the founding of a Frankfurt culture and music society, a new symbiosis is in planning that will bring together advantages of a alternative “bauwagen” living settlement with the party appropriateness of loungey theater combinations and and paving the way for a soundstudio.

When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired in 1989 at age 42, no NBA player had ever scored more points, played more minutes, won more season MVP awards or played in more All-Star Games.
In 20 years of career he revolutionized the center position, a spot that was characterized by the power needed to be a successful player.
This is because Kareem was born Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, but in 1971 he converted from Catholicism to Islam and took the name Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, which means "noble, powerful servant."

The man who was honored in several ways on Thursday by the Utah Jazz and Salt Lake City — with a statue, a renamed street and a retired number — could have broken Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record for NBA scoring.
Michael Jordan probably would have owned the record now if he hadn't had a pair of "retirements" — one to embarrass himself by not learning how to hit a curveball and one for three years after his Bulls days and before finishing as a Wizard — before officially calling it quits.
Chances of catching Kareem: Actually, he may be the man. There will likely be years when he averages more than 30 points — and he is just 21 years old.
