My dreams of interviewing Kareem have been deferred for now. I made it all the way up to speaking with his publicist, who dismissed me as simply a blogger initially, then told me that Kareem is not doing any new interviews until the NBA starts up again in November. Initially I was pissed, and now I have some perspective about it all. When the fall arrives, and the season starts, I will be that much more prepared for an interview whether it be via phone or in person (I prefer the latter). In no way am I giving up on this..
