  1. In addition to being the NBAΓÇÖs all-time
  2. points leader, Kareem was probably the
  3. most consistent scorer in the leagueΓÇÖs
  4. history. From 1977 to 1987 Kareem
  5. scored 10 points or more in 787 straight
  6. games. The end of that streak came 
  7. while playing against his old team. On
  8. December 4, 1987,  the Milwaukee 
  9. Bucks held Kareem, then 40 years old, 
  10. to only 7 points. KareemΓÇÖs Lakers lost
  11. 85-83. Even the greatest come up short
  12. every once in awhile.
