Tower From Power


Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr.
  (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar).

He led his Power Memorial Academy high school team to three straight New York City Catholic championships, a 71–game winning streak, and a 79–2 overall record. This earned him "The Tower from Power" nickname.

When I was a waiter at Farrell's I served him.
 
Got an autograph somewhere.....
