This is my first time reading your work and I am impressed. You are a very talented writer. In your article you mentioned that your father wanted you to know "all sides of Kareem". I appreciate your ability to do the same thing for the reading audience despite the time limitations. I learned a lot too. Who knew Kareem was interested in African American history. If he writes a book on the underground railroad I'll definitely buy it. Rashad, you did a great job on this piece and I am very proud of you man.

Husser, Sr. Tue, 22 Dec 2009 12:51:48 +0000 http://www.hoopsaddict.com/?p=6695#comment-17019 Dear Mr. Mobley, I was very happy to see how you set up your interview with one of the great basketball players of all time, Mr. Kareem Abdul Jabbar! Your description of the interview put me right up front in the seat next to you. I enjoyed every minute of your sweating and all of the questions you asked about yourself. I laughed at your doubts, your questions about what Kareem would do based on what others said about his temperament, and in short, the interview is the reason I'm saluting you for a job well done! I also want to thank you for giving credit to the teaching that your father, Mr. Michael Mobley, gave you as it related to Kareem Abdul Jabbar, over twenty-four years ago. You took teaching on a full circle from what Michael taught you to getting the opportunity to interview the Icon of your father's days. You're correct, it doesn't get any better than that! In concluding, I must add one more factor to your story and that is I'm your fathers forty plus years friend from Columbia University. We're also Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated Brothers for life and reading your interview story made me very proud to see that Marilyn and Michael's son is doing great! Continue taking care of business and I look forward to following you as you interview folks that provide role model templates for "Our Children!"
