[edit] Biography

Karim Abdul-Jabbar (Sharmon Shah) was born on June 28, 1974 in Los Angeles, California. The Miami Dolphins drafted him out of UCLA in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft, and he would go on to play in Miami for three and a half seasons. New coach Jimmy Johnson was aiming to create a run-oriented attack similar to that which he had built with the Dallas Cowboys, and Abdul-Jabbar would be the featured back in this offense.

In his first season, he set many of the Dolphins rookie records for rushing by a running back and had the team's first 1000-yard rushing season since Delvin Williams did it in 1978. He became only the second Dolphin to lead the team in rushing in each of his first two seasons in the league. In 1997, he led the NFL in total touchdowns with 16 and tied Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis for the league lead with 15 rushing TDs. Afterwards his productivity decreased. In 1999, the Dolphins traded him to the Cleveland Browns for a third round draft pick in the 2000 NFL Draft, he did put up some decent numbers but not any to earn himself a contract extension. He played one game for the Indianapolis Colts in 2000. After playing five pro seasons, he retired from the game in 2000.
