The majority of NBA players have multiple relationships with various women during their lives. Former Los Angeles Lakers player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is one of them. He had relationships with four women while playing in the NBA. In his personal life, Kareem had relationships with his ex-wife Habiba Alcindor as well as three other women: Pam Grier, Cheryl Pistono, and Julie Olds.
However, when discussing his relationship with Cheryl Pistono, he revealed that they had first met in 1977 when Kareem was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. In addition, their connection started following Kareem’s 1978 divorce from Habiba. Many people assumed that his relationship with Cheryl was the cause of their divorce.
But before they started dating, Cheryl Pistono had no interest in Kareem. Sources claim that Cheryl Pistono discussed her ideas in a 1980 interview with John Papanek of Sports Illustrated. I never liked guys with a sports mentality, and despite everything else, he had one, therefore I had no interest in him, she stated.
Kareem was honest about their relationship, though, while they were together. On the other hand, Cheryl was a more private individual because she was one of the most powerful people at the time. Kareem’s NBA career was shaped and positively impacted by her in significant ways. After having a son named Amir in 1984, the couple separated in 1985.

Cheryl married Steven Jenkins after they split up, and they presently reside and work in Los Angeles. Kareem doesn’t currently have a girlfriend or any other female in his life. Let’s examine his previous relationships instead.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s other relationships
Pam Grier was Kareem’s first and most difficult love interest while he was in his 20s and had not yet committed to Islam. Pam, on the other hand, started acting when she was just 17 years old. Although there were rumors of a wedding, Pam preferred to concentrate on her job. He later married Habiba as a result of this. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was romantically involved with his ex-wife Habiba Abdul-Jabbar before beginning a relationship with Cheryl Pistono in 1977.
When they got married, she changed her name to Janice Brown, which was her birth name. When Kareem was a UCLA senior, they first spoke during a Lakers game. Following this, the couple got married and had 3 kids: Kareem Jr., Habiba, and Sultana. However, they separated in 1978. Aside from this, his most recent relationship was a discreet one with his girlfriend Julie Olds.
As a result, little is known about them. They had their son Adam in 1991. Despite not lasting long, the two were their son’s supporters. He did, however, grow up in Atlanta with Julie and her husband. There was a lot of speculation about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s relationship with those four ladies, particularly Cheryl Pistono. Currently retired and single, Kareem lives by himself.
