Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, formerly known as Lewis Alcindor, was the kind of player that graces a sport once in a lifetime. The basketball world might never again see an athlete dominate the sport for as long and as thoroughly as Abdul-Jabbar did. Abdul-Jabbar became an instant force in the league, bringing finesse and agility to the center position, which had previously seen brute force and strength as the rule. In only his first of a stellar 20-year career, one that saw Abdul-Jabbar play no less than 65 games a season,With superior physical fitness and skill, Abdul-Jabbar joined with the "Big O," Oscar Robertson, to capture Milwaukee's only NBA title in 1971. Abdul-Jabbar averaged 30 or more points in four of his six years with the Bucks and was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player in 1971, 1972 and 1974.
