Coach Wooden and Me: Our 50-Year Friendship on and Off the Court by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

4.0

Gosh darn it. This book gave me all of the feels, and I am so glad that Kareem wrote it. The title is pretty simple and straight forward: this is a book about Kareem's long relationship with the great John Wooden. It gives insight into both of these men who, the author argues, are far more complex than they may appear outwardly. I love hearing about their lunch and dinner dates and the quality time spent watching sports on tv. J Dub is the dad that perhaps Kareem wished he had and once you get to the chapter where Wooden passes away, I DARE ANYONE to have dry eyes!
