Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s kids — Habiba Jr., Kareem Jr., Sultana, Amir and Adam — have helped carry on his legacy.
The Hall of Famer and his then-wife Habiba Sr. welcomed three children in the 1970s. Habiba Jr., Kareem Jr. and Sultana were still young when their father was at the height of his professional basketball career. Kareem Jr. later went on to follow in his dad’s footsteps, playing the sport in college.
After Kareem Sr. and Habiba Sr. divorced, he began a relationship with Cheryl Pistono and they welcomed a son, Amir. A few years after they broke up, Kareem Sr. dated Julye Olds, and the pair celebrated the arrival of their son Adam.
The basketball pro has opened up about the most important lessons he wanted to pass down to his children.
“Well, the very first thing [I told them] is be educated,” he told the Harvard Business Review in 2012. “My youngest is in college now, and the other four all have their degrees. And then I’ve just told them to follow their hearts, their instincts.”
Here’s everything to know about Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s kids: Habiba Jr., Kareem Jr., Sultana, Amir and Adam.
