The first memoir for young readers by sports legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. At one time, Lew Alcindor was just another kid from New York City with all the usual problems: He struggled with fitting in, with pleasing a strict father, and with overcoming shyness that made him feel socially awkward. But with a talent for basketball, and an unmatched team of supporters, Lew Alcindor was able to transform and to become Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. From a childhood made difficult by racism and prejudice to a record-smashing career on the basketball court as an adult, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's life was packed with ""coaches"" who taught him right from wrong and led him on the path to greatness. His parents, coaches Jack Donahue and John Wooden, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, and many others played important roles in Abdul-Jabbar's life and sparked him to become an activist for social change and advancement. The inspiration from those around him, and his drive to find his own path in life, are highlighted in this personal and awe-inspiring journey. Written especially for young readers, Becoming Kareem chronicles how Kareem Abdul-Jabbar become the icon and legend he is today, both on and off the court.Binding Type: Hardcover

This is a necessity for anyone that tries a car!!
Size: 20oz 6pk
I haven’t used this yet, but I bought a case to give to my family members. My friend who came outside to a flat tire. It was a Sunday in Utah so there was really no one that could fix it. Walmart told her to get this product. She had to drive home immediately following using this product (300 miles) It has been over two months now and my niece is still driving on that tire. It was a brand new tire that was costly so she decided to just wait and see how long this product will work. Great gift for anyone in the family that drives. This does not work on a blown tire. If you wake up in the morning and your tire is flat, or you get out of class and your tire is flat, just use this product and no calls need to be made.

Great mini-compressor at a great price.
I bought this little guy to inflate tires on my two bikes. It works perfectly.
I especially like the set-it & forget-it design. Simply hook it to your valve stem. Once on the stem, it generates a digital reading of your current PSI. Then enter the desired pressure, press start and it starts pressurizing and counts up as they're inflating. Once the target is reached, it shuts-off automatically. What could be easier.
BUY IT!

It's good to have it when you need it, rather than need it and don't have it!
Works really well. Great for topping off air pressure. Why spend $3.00 for a couple of PSI's. Good addition to my automotive emergency kit. Quick, easy to use and noise level is minimal.
