Before he was lighting up the stage as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Los Angeles, Lew Alcindor was leading the Milwaukee Bucks to an NBA championship and earning the nickname "Mr. Everything." Standing 7' 2", there was virtually no defense for his signature "Sky Hook" and Abdul-Jabbar enjoyed a 20-year career, topping the 30 points per game mark four times and capturing a total of 6 NBA championships. Alcindor looks intimidating on this 1971 Topps card, bursting with vivid color but slightly to the right of center that qualifies it for the difficult PSA 9 MINT grade, bested by only 5 GEM MINT copies.
