Alright, let’s talk about this Sultana Abdul-Jabbar. I heard tell of her, you know, the daughter of that tall basketball fella, Kareem somethin’-somethin’.
Who’s this Sultana then? Well, she’s Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s girl, born way back in April 1979. Can you believe it? 1979! That’s a long, long time ago. Makes me feel my old bones creakin’ just thinkin’ about it.
She wasn’t no baby when her daddy was famous, shootin’ hoops and whatnot. Him and her brothers, Kareem Jr. and Habiba Jr., they were just kids when their daddy was a big deal basketball star. Kareem Jr., he liked basketball too, played it in college, just like his pa.
Speaking of her daddy, he used to be called Ferdinand somethin’ or other, Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr., born in New York City back in 1947. Imagine that, a whole different name! Then he changed it to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ’cause he became a Muslim way back in college. That’s what I heard tell, anyway.
- Born: April 1979
- Father: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (used to be Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr.)
- Siblings: Kareem Jr. and Habiba Jr.
This Sultana girl, she ain’t like her daddy, not out there in the spotlight. She keeps to herself, likes her privacy. But her life, well, it’s all mixed up with her famous daddy, whether she likes it or not. Can’t help but be, I reckon, when your daddy’s that famous.
That Kareem fella, he was real good at basketball, won all sorts of things. They even called him the MVP, the most valuable player, after his team beat some other team real good, swept ’em in four games, they said. Folks were always talkin’ about him.
Now, Sultana, she’s only 22, or was back then when they were writin’ about her. And she already had a tough life, more trouble than most folks see in a whole lifetime. Grew up in a poor neighborhood, they said. Ain’t easy, that’s for sure. Life can be hard, specially when you don’t have much.
So, what’s the big deal about Sultana? Well, she’s her own person, even if her daddy’s famous. She ain’t in the spotlight like him, but her story’s tied up with his, no matter what. That’s just how it is when you got a famous family. People always gonna be curious, always gonna be talkin’.
I tell ya, it ain’t easy being the child of somebody famous. Everyone’s always lookin’ at you, expectin’ things from you. And sometimes, you just want to be yourself, live your own life, without all that fuss. Maybe that’s what Sultana wants. Can’t blame her, I reckon.
She’s a grown woman now, with her own life, her own story. Maybe she’s got kids of her own, grandkids even. Time marches on, it does. And it’s important to remember that everyone’s got their own path to walk, whether their daddy was a basketball star or just a regular Joe.
Anyways, that’s all I know about Sultana Abdul-Jabbar. A private person, daughter of a famous man. Hope she’s doin’ alright, wherever she is.
In short, Sultana’s a private person. She ain’t like her famous daddy who was a big basketball star. She had a tough life growing up, but she’s her own person with her own story. And that’s all that really matters, ain’t it? Just bein’ yourself, that’s the most important thing.
