Kareem Abdul Jabbar was 25 when his friend and Jeet Kune Do teacher Bruce Lee died on July 20, 1973. The National Basketball Association (NBA) Hall of Famer, No. 2 all-time NBA scorer (and until surpassed by Lebron James this recently concluded season, the No. 1 all-time scorer), consensus greatest National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Men's Basketball player ever, a seven-time "Columnist of the Year" Award winner from the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards, and most importantly, co-star of Bruce Lee's final film Game of Death, shares his recollections about his friend on the 50th anniversary of his untimely passing.
