1) Have you ever noticed that NBA players consume illegal perfomance-enhancing substances?

Thanks alot for this opportunity Stuart . Kareem is a living legend and one of the greatest players to have ever played the game.

My questions to Kareem would be:

1) Who taught/mentored you concerning your sky hook/hook shot?
2) How were you able to last 20 years playing in the NBA?

[stuart]

Good questions thus far guys, keep them coming.

Were you in the Philippines in the early 80's? I believe I saw you leave Ultra stadium in Pasig. In what way if any was your trip to the Philippines basketball related?

I just got out of the swimming pool and I am almost positive it was Jabar. Being a kid it was the first giant man I ever saw. I swear I only came up to his knee Not a serious question just want to know if that was him.

2) Can you tell us about some of your unpublished or upcoming books?

[stuart]

Who is your favorite student that you have taught?
What player(s) did you think wasted their NBA career? Why?
What do you think about the globalization of the NBA, and basketball in general?

I am going to cut off the questions tomorrow, and then put them to a vote. So if you are posting your questions, also vote on the best questions you have seen in this thread and we'll put the top 5-10 in a poll to be voted/sent over to Kareem.

How the game has changed since the days you played from a coach's pov?

If you were in charge, what would you take from the international game to the NBA game?

[uhg80]

What international experiences do you remember most?

What do you think about the globalization of the NBA, and basketball in general?

Since this is an international board, I second that.

How the game has changed since the days you played from a coach's pov?

I'd put it like this: Which rule changes in the last 40 years did have the biggest impact on the game? For the better or the worse?

Coltrane or Miles Davis? It's obviously not an "or" but an "and", but who cares...

I read in a magazine that Kareem was notorious for grabbing the cameras off the cameraman's hands and hurling them away in frustration.
