The now 65 year old former Lakers giant Kareem Abdul-Jabbar perilously involved himself in the American TV Show "Splash" last night.
This is program in which celebrities are pitted against each other all in the name of diving excellence and not in any way to embarrass the participants.
Obviously his height and age are major factors in his ability to perform from the diving board, but the fearless Abdul-Jabbar flings himself head first into the action landing into the water with a near belly flop.
Forward to 2.20 on the clip to see his attempt.
