I'm probably gonna sound like Bill Walton here; but I think Kareem is one of the greater minds in the country - 90% of what he writes is spot on.

It's a shame he was cast out of the NBA. Albeit deservedly, I think he even acknowledges now that he acted like a stand-offish dick to everyone around him for about 30 years. On the other hand he certainly wouldn't be doing this stuff for a living if he had a gig in the league.
