- Son of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
- Played college basketball for the Valparaiso University Crusaders (Valparaiso, Indiana, USA, team name changed to the Beacons in 2021), the Santa Monica College (a community college located in Santa Monica, California, USA) Corsairs, and the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers (Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA).
- Named an Arthur Ashe Sports Scholar in 1999.
- Became good friends with comedian Sina Amedson after the two shared a trailer on the set of their film Church Ball (2006) for 2 weeks.
- Even with his towering height of 6'5½", he is towered over by his own father's 7'2" height.
- There is some disagreement over whether his legal name is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jr. or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, II, and there is also a question of whether his father was Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor at the time of his birth, or whether he had already legally changed his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Sr.) at the time of his birth. Even on this profile, Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, Sr. is listed as his parent, not Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sr.
