Basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar opens up about his relationship with his lifelong friend and mentor, the late Muhammad Ali.
“Knowing he’s not suffering anymore is what gives me comfort.”
Of all Muhammad Ali’s travels in the Muslim world, his 1964 trip to Egypt was perhaps the most symbolic, a visit remembered mostly by an iconic photo of the boxing great happily shaking hands with a smiling Gamal Abdel-Nasser, Egypt’s nationalist and popular president.
Muhammad Ali traveled the world as a fighter and humanitarian, but he always came home to Louisville.
A few months before his death, Ali had commented on the presidential race after Trump proposed a temporary ban on the entry of Muslims to the United States.
Among Muhammad Ali’s lesser-known achievements is that he once talked a suicidal man out of jumping from a ledge.
His children have been told by doctors that the “end is near.”
