Kareem Abdul Jabbar Has Cancer
Basketball
“Having lost one of my closest friends to a different, highly aggressive form of leukemia, I knew how serious my diagnosis was,” said Abdul-Jabbar, 62. “My own life expectancy became a question mark.”
Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, won five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers before retiring in 1989. He was diagnosed with CML in December 2008 and is being treated with a medicine that targets the abnormal protein that causes his leukemia. With treatment, Abdul-Jabbar, who currently is a coach with the Lakers, is expected to live a full, active life.
“I’m telling my story to encourage fellow patients to take charge of their health,” he said. “Work closely with your doctor, monitor your disease and, above all, take your medicine.”

Shaunie O’Neal Files For SEPARATION From Shaq!!
Shaunie O’Neal has officially filed for separation from her baller husband Shaquille O’Neal! Despite some folks not believing us as usual, we told you there was drama in the O’Neal household. This filing comes only days after YBF posted our exclusive that Shaq was cheating on Shaunie with Gilbert Arenas’ fiance Laura. And let’s just say we’re not surprised–at all–by Shaunie filing. Our source (who also gave us that exclusive) has told us Shaunie is very ready to soon file for divorce.
She filed in California (where they were married) and we’re told she was just waiting on some of his cheating to go public so she has a great case with the divorce lawyers to get his money. And we gave her just that. Didn’t Shaq learn about how smart she is with his money the first go round?
