Lew Alcindor, also known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a professional basketball player who dominated the game throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s. Alcindor’s skills were so developed and aggressive during high school that the college basketball committee made dunking illegal post his admission at the University of California, Los Angeles. Despite this, he set a record in his first game scoring 56 points. After Jabbar joined the NBA he has led the scoreboard for consecutive two seasons. Jabbar then broke the record by Witt Chamberlain by scoring 31419 points throughout his whole career. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had been voted MVP a record six times and set several records when he retired in 1989. Jabbar was put in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1995 and named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996. He did several movies and started writing after retirement. In 2016, Jabbar received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
