Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a jack of all trades – and a master of each. During his 20 year NBA career with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers, he won six NBA championships and a record six regular season MVP Awards. He also made a big splash as an actor, debuting in Bruce Lee’s “Game of Death” and making notable cameos in films like “Airplane!.” And now, he’s the author of “What Color Is My World?,” a book for children about African-American inventors.
