Becoming Kareem: Growing Up on and Off the Court by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Raymond Obstfeld
5.0
After reading the first chapter I already knew I would love and enjoy this book very much. The way he talks about his role models including Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, Malcom X and his coach(es) was so interesting for me to read since you didn't only learn a lot about Kareem himself but also about other peoples wisdoms. After reading about Kareems mentors from his perspective I feel like they are my own role models now as well.
Kareem just has such a clean, simple and modest way of living... it makes the book so enjoyable.
This book also gives insight into historical events. I always think the best way to actually learn about history is to read from peoples experience and that is definitely included in this book.
This book is not only for Basketball fans.. this book is for people who like to read about meaningful characters, about wisdom and life lessons, about history, about success stories, about life and its injustices... this book has it all and I would recommend this to anyone.
