Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Opens Up About John Wooden

Record six-time MBA MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (B.A. ’69) learned from UCLA Coach John Wooden during — and after — their 50-year friendship how “to become a better person each day that I knew him.” In a special presentation at the 2017 John Wooden Global Leadership Awards ceremony, the former Los Angeles Lakers center compared the social climate of his first days at UCLA with today’s emphasis on the athletic spotlight. He said that when he met Wooden, “The first thing Coach wanted to talk to me about was academics. He was all about excellence.”
