NBA legend more than just a basketball player

HLN's own Joe Carter sat down with the NBA's all-time scoring leader, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. What did he discover? That there's much more to the basketball legend than his famous skyhook.

He's an actor, seven-time best selling author, a global education advocate and cancer survivor...just to name a few things!

Check out the full interview to hear about Kareem's battle with leukemia, the Skyhook Foundation and how he's been giving back off the court.
