Requests:  0 Summary:  "An autobiography about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and his life growing up in New York, becoming the basketball star he's known to be, and getting involved in the world around him as an activist for social change"-- At one time, Lew Alcindor was just another kid from New York City with all the usual problems: He struggled with fitting in, with pleasing a strict father, and with overcoming shyness that made him feel socially awkward. But with a talent for basketball, and an unmatched team of supporters, Lew Alcindor was able to transform and to become Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. From a childhood made difficult by racism and prejudice to a record-smashing career on the basketball court as an adult, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's life was packed with "coaches" who taught him right from wrong and led him on the path to greatness. His parents, coaches Jack Donahue and John Wooden, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, and many others played important roles in Adbul-Jabbar's life and sparked him to become an activist for social change and advancement. The inspiration from those around him, and his drive to find his own path in life, are highlighted in this personal and awe-inspiring journey. Written especially for young readers, Becoming Kareem chronicles how Kareem Abdul-Jabbar became the icon and legend he is today, both on and off the court. -- from dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- Biography B Abdul-Jabbar Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library YA -- Biography B Abdul-Jabbar Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Biography Abdul-Jabbar Ab Biography Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 796.32309 Abdul-Jabbar Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Biography B Abdul-Jabbar Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library YA -- Biography B Abdul-Jabbar Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Biography B Abdul-Jabbar Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Biography B Abdul-Jabbar Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library YA -- Biography B Abdul-Jabbar Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) YA -- Nonfiction 796.32309 Abdul-Jabbar Ab   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
