Meeting kareemabduljabbar_33 at the premiere of The Smashing Machine was an absolute dream come true. 🙌🏾 As a kid, I had his poster on my wall, frozen mid-skyhook—the most unstoppable shot in basketball. I’ll never forget watching him face off against Bruce Lee in Game of Death, and of course, being part of the legendary Showtime Lakers. But what makes Kareem truly legendary isn’t just what he did on the court—it’s all he did for civil rights in his era, proving he was an unstoppable human being. ✊🏾 To stand beside one of my lifelong heroes—and for HIM to call me over just to say hello—left me beyond honored. 🙏🏾 It never ceases to amaze me when I meet the people I’ve admired growing up… and they turn out to be even greater in real life than in my imagination. 💫 #SkyHook #ShowtimeLakers #KareemAbdulJabbar #GOAT #Heroes #TheSmashingMachine
