A player
possessing an extremely high basketball IQ. Great outside
shooting touch that make teams pay if he gets a clean look.
Can put it on the floor, and is a great passer. Has the
ability to play any of the backcourt spots and also move to the
small forward position. Possesses deep range out to the NBA
three point line. Kareem is the ultimate team player to
make everybody else around him better. He is an underrated
defender who often will shut down the opposing team's best
player. Operates like a second point guard on the floor
setting everything up for easy finishes for his teammates and then
scoring when necessary. Inspiring leader that is a "do
everything" player on the court.
