Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 76, a legendary center in the National Basketball Association (NBA), underwent surgery for a fall accident.

Abdul-Jaba fell while visiting a concert hall in Los Angeles, California, USA, and fractured his pelvis, according to major media such as the Associated Press on the 17th.

Abdul-Java, who joined the Milwaukee Bucks in 1969, moved to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1975 and led the Lakers' heyday with Magic Johnson and others.

In particular, he gained popularity with his high-altitude shot called "Sky Hook" using his 218cm height, and held the NBA's record for most goals until his junior LeBron James (LA Lakers) surpassed the record in February.

Abdul-Jabbar has suffered from a number of illnesses. Abdul-Jabbar, who revealed that he was diagnosed with chronic bone marrow leukemia in 2009, also disclosed that he had prostate cancer in 2020.
