Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s loss brought out true community spirit
When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Bel-Air mansion burned down in 1983, he lost nearly everything—thousands of jazz records, art, trophies, and irreplaceable keepsakes. Despite being a basketball legend, Kareem felt isolated in his grief, unsure if anyone cared beyond his fame. That changed when strangers, like two elderly women in St. Louis, handed him cherished jazz albums, reminding him that kindness can come from the most unexpected places. Lakers fans sent records, too, showing how a community can rally around someone, no matter their status. Moments like these really make you think about what truly matters. How do you see community support in tough times?
