One of the greatest Basketball players of all time. One of the great sports personalities of all time.
Because nobody gives a fuck about Basketball outside of the US.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at one point was the center that Shaq was in the 2000's. Go to youtube.com and watch some clips of this legendary athlete. And not to mention the inventor of the "hook shot". Hence, Kareem's "SKYHOOK " T-shirt .

I'm from Norway, and basketball is rarely mentioned anywhere here.. I know who Michael Jordan is, and that's really that
I'm not saying you're an idiot for not knowing who Kareem is, I'm saying easily common knowledge that people know who Kareem is though. I mean outside of his illustrious sports career, he was in one of the most iconic films ever made in Game of Death with Bruce Lee which has been referenced a million times since and is a huge part of pop culture.
Plus, google is your friend.

I don't think so, buddy.![]()

I think no one in Europe really cares THAT much about basketball.
We care about football. That's really it, homie.

Anyway, when I say common knowledge (I tend to overuse this word), I mean not majority, but the average Joe. The name Kareem Abdul Jabbar is very well known, perhaps some people don't know what he did, but whether it's for his basketball career (record points scorer in NBA history), fashion (those glasses) and film (Game of Death), he's well known. For example, pre-Yao Ming, Asia didn't have big basketball fanbase, but Kareem was just about the most loved person from the US in Asia, he was an ambassador at one point because of his Bruce Lee film.
I'm a bit surprised at how someone from Croatia is saying no one from Europe really cares about Basketball, are you serious? I have access to Eurosport, and after Football, Basketball is ALWAYS the sport that gets headlines. Ex-Yugo countries love Basketball more than anyone in Europe from everything I see. RIP to Drazan Petrovic whilst we're at it.
