This episode airs the day before what would have been Bruce Lee’s 80th birthday and so Shannon is thrilled to have as her guest, one of her father’s dear friends, students and co-stars, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Kareem is a legend in his own right. He was a student playing basketball for UCLA when he and Bruce Lee first became friends. He went on, of course, to become an NBA all-time leading scorer, New York Times-bestselling author, and U.S. Cultural Ambassador. Kareem is a global icon that changed the game of professional basketball and went on to become a celebrated author, filmmaker, Time Magazine columnist, and a sought-after speaker. He is the recipient 5 times over of the Southern CA journalist award not to mention the presidential medal of freedom. Kareem also serves as the chairman of his Skyhook Foundation bringing outdoor environmental learning opportunities to underserved communities. See links below to connect Kareem and his many phenomenal accomplishments. It was such a pleasure for Shannon to speak about philosophy and life with an old family friend, Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
