Kareem now has a blog on Substack that he describes as "My take on news, pop culture, sports, and whatever else interests me."
It's a good read and covers quite a range of topics. 73.17.194.216 (talk) 15:37, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kareem did win Sporting News National Player of the Year (2x at that), in '67 and '69. But it is listed under his birth name at the time (Lew Alsindor). It has it right, in the Wiki article of the accolade itself, but not under Kareem's accolades. Maxilljabla (talk) 13:06, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Updated, but reworked it to also include his rank at retirement, which is more notable as the game has evolved.—Bagumba (talk) 07:23, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
