    Default Best Kareem book?

    For flpiii or anyone else who can help: i ws thinking about a Jabbar book, but i dont know what is the best between "Giant Steps" and "Kareem".

    I know that Giant Steps is from 1984 and Kareem is from 1990...

    Which one is the best? Do they cover his battles with Wilt Chamberlain?

    I got "WILT" biography from 2004 by Robert Cherry and its really a good read.

    I liked that Wilt book too. It's in my personal library. Kareem is more about his last season in the league. Giant Steps is more of a autobiography but he doesn't say much about Wilt, Magic, or otherwise. He's written other books like the one about Harlem...On the Shoulders of Giants.

    They are good books. If you are a Kareem fan by all means read them, but don't expect any in depth Wilt stories.
    Pistol I heard is very good. I need to read that one myself.
