Kareem Abdul-Jabbar came to Woodrow Wilson High School this week to talk to the kids about his new movie, On the Shoulders of Giants. He showed twenty minutes of the film, which centers on the Harlem Renaissance — “the best basketball team you never heard of…” And he answered students’ questions for about half an hour. Before the show, I sat in a small room with him. He was funny, sweet, and tall. He talks with his hands. What a great experience!
