The proper terminology should be "Abdul-Jabbar". Wikipedia references him as such. -- nm

"You're Kareem Abdul-Jabbar." "Yes." "You play center." "Yes." "I play center, too." "So?" "Well... are you better than me?" -- nm

I would just ask him. Smile and say, "I apologize for my ignorance, but do you prefer to be called Mr Jabbar or Mr Abdul-Jabbar?"
