Since retiring, Abdul-Jabbar has been an actor, basketball coach and an author, focusing on history. His previous titles include Giant Steps, Kareem, Black Profiles in Courage, A Season on the Reservation, Brothers in Arms and On the Shoulders of Giants: My Journey Through the Harlem Renaissance, and the children’s non-fiction book about inventors, What Color is My World?, won the NAACP award for Best Children’s Book.
