{"product_id":"jabali-a-kansas-city-david-thomas-9780578482354","title":"Jabali - A Kansas City Legend","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book tells the story of Warren (Armstrong) Jabali, a remarkably gifted person who played basketball in Kansas City in the early 1960s. It does not tell the entire story of his life but it does tell the story of his career, and to a considerable extent, the story of his intellectual life and the impact he had on others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter high school, Warren starred at Wichita State University where, at 6'2\", he ranks among its all-time leaders in points, rebounds and assists. In the American Basketball Association (ABA), he was Rookie of the Year, four times an All-Star, and Most Valuable Player in the 1973 ABA All-Star game. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJabali, in Swahili, means a large, conspicuous rock. It is the name Warren adopted in announcing his commitment to the African-American community. His principal concern from the time he left college was, in his words, \"the standing of African-American people in the human community.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an effort to keep alive his memory in the Kansas City area and beyond. It is rare that a young man in high school so electrifies a community. Rare, also, that he should go on a journey that--through trails and tribulations--rendered him a hero to so many.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0578482355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780578482354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David Thomas, PhD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"David Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128498057471,"sku":"9780578482354","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e28334e4-bbd4-4dbf-8b95-0743210c6e02.jpg?v=1687458958","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jabali-a-kansas-city-david-thomas-9780578482354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
