No, this is not a joke (but yeah, I guess I'm stretching a bit here). NBADraft.net has a two-part interview with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In part one, the topic of Kareem's role in the Bruce Lee film "Game of Death" is mentioned. Kareem is asked if any of Lee's martial arts techniques helped with basketball. Abdul Jabbar's response:

Well, he told me I needed to get stronger, work out more. So I worked out a lot the following season. The movie came out after my first year with the Lakers, and we won the Championship the following year. So you could say he definitely had an affect [sic].

Hmmm, too bad Bruce Lee wasn't around to tell "Shaq-Fu" that he needed to lose 100 pounds or so.

Anyway, the interview also reveals that Kareem still believes the ban on the slam dunk was directed at him, but the true victims were the fans, who missed out on a lot of excitement. He also talks about how one of his books is being made into a movie. And part two has comments on a variety of other items: the best NBA centers in history, the best two-man tandems in the league, and Kareem's thoughts on Magic Johnson.
