Happy 75th Birthday To The Great Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Four years back, in a most beautiful setting in Spain, Jay got big laughs telling the truth. A man and woman of different religions were being married, officiated by Jay, who is of yet another faith.

Today in between the first night of Passover and Easter, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, (maybe not so) arguably basketball’s greatest player, and of a third faith, turns 75.

Where did the time go?!! I remember the then Lew Alcindor leading UCLA to three straight “no sweat” NCAA basketball crowns.

Put it this way, I once loved the Lakers and as great as certain others were, I often called/screamed/ pleaded get the ball to Kareem. There was never a better option than Kareem’s sky hook?

Happy birthday Kareem.
