It is always a pleasure to listen to Kareem. He is so well spoken, so articulate, and so thoughtful. He got kind of a bad rep during his days with the Lakers because he could be surly with the media. But his accomplishments on, and even more so, off the court, show what an outstanding person he really is. His ongoing loyalty to UCLA is a tribute to the school, to Coach Wooden, and to his own character – not a bad threesome. Way to go, Cap!

Thanks for posting this, irishbruin!

That was awesome.

And that was very well said Greg. I really love the fact that UCLA basketball’s two greatest players are both articulate, well spoken and highly intellectual individuals, it says an awful lot about the school!

Thanks for sharing this Irish. And this is exactly why we have this FanShot feature for. Keep it coming. GO BRUINS.

I was there! I was off-stage while he was speaking, and came on right after with the UCLA Chinese Music Ensemble.
