Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to attend Championship!

[Grim Tuesday]

Abdul-Jabbar shoots hoops with a robot called ‘Skyhook’ in basketball-themed robotics practice session

Reading further, I think he's going to be driving 330's robot. Seems like an appropriate robot for him.

Now I wish I had gotten a #33 jersey quite a while ago...

Is that a Dolphins or Colts jersey? I didn't know Adbul-Jabbar had such a following.

One of our students wanted to name our robot "Kareem Abdul-Jaguar" but "McGuire" won the team vote.

I just can't wait to tell him, "I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense."

Yes indeed!

And thanks Hjelstrom, that video brought back some pleasant memories of childhood.

The battles with Walton were epic!

He was a staunch supporter of "a good defense is a great offense"?

There are actually a lot of retired #33s in basketball.
Larry Bird, KAJ, Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pipen...

I wonder if KAJ would be willing to sign one of our #33 jerseys?

we almost named our robot for this year after him

So did any of the team sin Milwaukee name their robot Lew Alcindor?

I remember searching for this to see if we could fit in our naming scheme. We ended up going with Uptius Erving

Tell your old man to drag Lanier and Walton up and down the court for 48 minutes!!


Surely you can't be serious!!
