TRANSCRIPT

As a former basketball player and team captain, Ive always enjoyed watching and learning from the games top players especially those whose careers also evidence other special qualities. And its hard to name many greater than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar a three-time national champion at UCLA, the NBAs all-time leading scorer and inventor of the un-guardable skyhook shot that ruined many a night for his opponents.Sports Illustratedrecently published an article on what the 68-year-old Hall of Famer is up to now, more than 25 years after he retired from the Los Angeles Lakers. Its an inspiring story. Kareem always saw himself as much more than an athlete and hes proven it through his impressive body of work as an author, journalist and philanthropist, with a special passion for exploring the intersection of religion, politics and history.Throughout Kareems evolution, theres at least one trait that appears to have remained constant on his journey from superstar athlete to modern day intellectual. Its a quality thats hard to measure, and, when things are going well, its sometimes hard to tell who really has it. But every successful leader Ive ever known or studied possesses it in spades: resilience. (Think Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela or Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi).Beneath the glamorous veneer of Kareems very public life has run a steady stream of major challenges that could have defeated him far more easily than another basketball team. The tensions of growing up as a black man in 1960s Harlem. Chronic migraines. Impossible expectations from fans and reporters. A fire that destroyed his home. Bad investments. A battle with leukemia.As a former basketball player and team captain, Ive always enjoyed watching and learning from the games top players especially those whose careers also evidence other special qualities.
