<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">motown67</strong> said:</div><div>P.S. - Do you know the shit he went through when he converted?</div></blockquote> <br /> I remember this shit. There was one old sportswriter (I forget who) who would relentlessly refer to Kareem as "Lew Alcindor" for years after the change. Even as a kid I thought that was stupidly rude. <br /> <br /> And then there was the tragedy when 7 people were murdered at the house he owned in DC, apparently as a result of a conflict with the Nation of Islam. I can see how he would feel very isolated with all that was going on.
