I first met Kareem in 1967, when I was just 17. To see him evolve from being the GOAT in basketball (yes he is!) to one of the most thoughtful and outspoken social commentators of our time is something I am VERY grateful for.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in your substack community!

One of the things for which I am most greatful is this place you have created. Even when I don't agree with you, which isn't very often, your words are always worth reading. Thank you for decades of enjoyment and enlightenment, on and off the court.

God bless you Kareem, your presence and your heart affirm rather than divide, bring us closer instead of pull us apart, and hold up love as the response to life. You make me proud to walk along with you.
