Warren Edward Armstrong Jabali was my hero. In the hearts of his
family and friends across the country, he was a superstar. Known
for his basketball feats at Central High School (1962-1964),
Wichita State University (1964-1968), and in the American
Basketball Association (ABA) 1968-1976, this book presents an
uplifting story of how a man, labeled as "one of the two meanest
men in the ABA," overcame the vilification of his character. By
positively channeling his energy on the educational empowerment of
African American youth, he became an extraordinary role model and
father figure for many in South Florida. Divided into two sections,
the first part of the book is Warren's incomplete manuscript. He
described the wide ranging cultural attitudes, political
environment and social conditions which motivated his actions and
profoundly affected his basketball career. it is supplemented by
newspaper articles and interviews in which he discussed various
controversial topics and elaborated on the skills and legacies of
his contemporaries. The last half is written by the "love of his
life." A very complex and private person, the section illustrates
multiple aspects of his personality which portray an intimate
understanding of him that only someone he cherished could ever
reveal. This narrative validates the strength of his character as
he boldly faced personal challenges. It demonstrates his unwavering
commitment to education as he persevered in his lifelong pursuit
for equality. Additionally, it highlights how benevolent his
interpersonal relationships were as he journeyed along the road
less traveled
