Kareem Abdul-Jabbar uses his unique blend of erudition, street smarts and authentic experience in essays on the country's seemingly irreconcilable partisan divide--both racial and political, parenthood, and his own experiences as an athlete, African American, and a Muslim. The book is not just a collection of expositions; he also offers keen assessments of and solutions to problems such as racism in sports while speaking candidly about his experiences on the court and off.
