Bruins Nation, a UCLA Bruins community

No one can ever replace the legend, but his ideals can help the troubled program. (BN Eds): Kareem's comments are eye-opening. They should serve yet another wake up call as he indirectly exposes how Dan Guerrero's lack of leadership has done severe damage to the brand of the program built by Coach.

But his attitude is great and the prognosis is encouraging. Yet another sobering reminder that there is much more to life than what happens on the field or court. Go get 'em, Kareem.

J.A. Adande, formerly of the L.A. Times has written a great article on Lew Alcindor and his unstoppable hook shot. Story comes with a good video about Kareem as well.

ESPN did a feature on the 4 greatest sports figures from each state. California's 4 greatest figures are: Tiger Woods John Wooden Magic Johnson Jackie Robinson Also receiving consideration: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jackie Joyner-Kersee Rafer Johnson All in all, 5 Bruins considered along with lots of Lakers, Dodgers, Niners, and Giants. 1 trOJan.
