 Before he became a world-renowned 7-2 celebrity, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a New York City legend known as Lou Alcindor, a young man who led his high school team to three straight New York City Catholic Championships. He graduated at UCLA and was twice-named Player of the Year, was three-time first team All-American, was honored as a most outstanding player in the NCAA Tournament and became the first-ever Naismith College Player of the Year in 1969. As a professional player, Kareem won Rookie of the Year in 1970, six championship titles, six regular season MVP's, two final MVP awards, and collected a record 19 NBA All-Star nominations in his 20-year career.
