Giant Steps: The Autobiography of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Bantam Books, 1983) is a best-selling book[1] by basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Written with former Crawdaddy magazine editor Peter Knobler, it covers Abdul-Jabbar's career, his conversion to Islam, his social growth, and his feelings about American racial politics.[2] The title Giant Steps pays tribute to the 1960 album of the same name by jazz musician John Coltrane.
