in ActnEarn4 years ago

In 1961, just three years after the founding of the Milwaukee Box, the United States basketball team won the NBA Championship, the highest national basketball title. It was the first and only title in their history. The protagonist of Milwaukee's victory story was the then rising NBA star Louis Alsinder. He was also the highest scorer of the year at the same time.But a few days after this achievement, to everyone's surprise, Louis Alcinder suddenly announced his conversion to Islam. Karim Abdul-Jabbar rose to prominence after converting to Islam.

However, Karim converted to Islam three years ago. The main reasons for his conversion to Islam were his hatred of conventional racism and his interest in African-American roots.
