Congratulations are due to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the finest
basketball player of our lifetimes, if not all lifetimes.

From Sports Illustrated's Gary Smith, where he was recently
honored as Sportsman of the Year:

	His sky hook, of course, is eternal.  Of all the
	weapons in sports, none has ever been more dependable
	or unstoppable, less vulnerable to time, than that
	little stride, turn, hop and flick from far above his
	head.  Perhaps the greatest tribute to its complex 
	simplicity is that the sky hook never became a trend.
	It will always be his.
