This one goes out to Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the sky hook progenitor and worthy foe to Moses Malone back in the day born Lew Alcindor who announced on Tuesday he's suffering from a rare form of leukemia that, strangely, is known as Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia. "Sweet Lew" is the Pearl Jam song inspired by Jabbar that Jeff Ament - he's the one in the Wilt Chamberlain jersey - and Eddie Vedder had never performed live before they did it on the Spectrum on Halloween.
