Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

You have to be able to center yourself, to let all of your emotions go... Don't ever forget that you play with your soul as well as your body.

My choosing Islam was not a political statement; it was a spiritual statement.

One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.

I saw Islam as the correct way to live, and I chose to try to live that way.
