Karim Abdul Biography

Karim Abdul is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on April 16, 1947 in New York, United States.

In 1967 and 1968, he also won USBWA College Player of the Year, which later became the Oscar Robertson Trophy. Alcindor became the only player to win the Helms Foundation Player of the Year award three times. The 1965–66 UCLA Bruin team was the preseason #1. On November 27, 1965, the freshman team, led by Alcindor, defeated the varsity 75–60 in the first game in the new Pauley Pavilion. Alcindor scored 31 points and had 21 rebounds in what was a good indication of things to come. After the game, the UCLA varsity was #1 in the country but #2 on campus. If the “freshman rule” had not been in effect at that time, UCLA would have had a much better chance of winning the 1966 National Championship.

Alcindor did not play during his first year at UCLA because the “freshman rule” was in effect, though his prowess was already well known. Now 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) tall, he made his debut as a sophomore in 1966 and received national coverage: Sports Illustrated described him as “The New Superstar” after he scored 56 points in his first game, which set a UCLA single-game record.. He was the main contributor to the team’s three-year record of 88 wins and only two losses: one to the University of Houston in which Alcindor had an eye injury, and the other to crosstown rival USC who played a “stall game” (i.e., there was no shot clock in those days, so a team could hold the ball as long as it wanted before attempting to score).
