Vote the best questions to ask Kareem!

[stuart]

Ok guys, here's the deal, I already selected one of two questions to ask Kareem:

What do you think about the international players in the NBA, their flop antics, and globalization of basketball in general? (asked by Stuart, Jon_Koncak)

It's a benefit of being an admin plus I think it makes sense, as uhg80 mentioned, to have an international question from an international hoops site.

Another reason for selecting that one question is because the polls only allow for either one choice or multiple. Anyways, I think this was the best way of handling the vote. In the future it can be done differently. Let me know what you think.

Here is the list. I combined questions that were similar. I had to pare down the list to 15 questions so please don't take offense if one or both of your questions didn't make the list... we'll be doing this again next month too.

Ok, please pick the other question you'd like Kareem Abdul Jabbar to answer...

Career:

1. Who taught/mentored you concerning your sky hook/hook shot? (Khalid80)
2. What do you think is the best legacy you left in the NBA? (Lukas)
3. Would Magic be as successful in his career without you in the middle, and would you have won more championships even without him? (RetiredJordanStopper)
   
   Personal:
4. After converting to Islam did you get circumsized and stop eating your favorite food, pork sandwiches? (Delibasic)
   
   Big Men questions:
5. Why do you think you're better than THE DREAM (Lewis)
6. Who do you think is the most talented big man in the NBA nowadays when compared to the big men of the 1970s and 1980s? (Saskibaloia ,Captain Caveman)
7. Who was your toughest opponent during your NBA career, Kevin McHale, Bill Laimbeer, or… ? (Saskibaloia, RetiredJordanStopper)
   
   Mentoring
8. Who is your favorite student, besides Andrew Byum, that you have taught? (Stuart, Pepman)
   
   International Basketball:
9. What international experiences do you remember most? (MvBlair)
10. If you were in charge, what would you take from the international game to the NBA game? (K2)
    
    Rule Changes:
11. What are your thoughts on the age limit of the NBA? (C2Hamm)
12. Which rule changes in the last 40 years did have the biggest impact on the game? For the better or the worse? (Uhg80)
13. How did you feel when the NCAA banned the dunk because you were coming into college? Do you think that was partly motivated by your race? (Stuart)
14. Have you ever noticed that NBA players consume illegal performance-enhancing substances? (Fasoulaki)

Lots of questions tied with two votes apiece.

Lot of good questions up their, went with what rule changes have effected the game the most. Not only is this a man who had rule changes applied directly because of him, he also played in a much more physical era, so it would be interesting to hear his perspective on it.

I like that question too. I voted for K2's question: If you were in charge, what would you take from the international game to the NBA game?


Abdul-Jabbar is always on my All-Time list with Oscar Robinson, Arvydas Sabonis, Oscar Schmidt, and Magic Johnson.
