ABOUT THIS BLOG

News, analysis, feature stories, random thoughts... if it's about college basketball, either in season or during the summer doldrums, you'll find it in Beyond the Arc.

Mike Miller

Mike Miller has been NBCSports.com's college basketball editor since 2003. It's a position he relishes; no wonder considering he transferred to Kansas to watch Paul Pierce play. Most of his favorite sports memories involve college hoops, usually during March, when every waking moment is spent thinking about March Madness.



Send the greatest ever good thoughts

If you haven’t already, take a moment to send good thoughts Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s way. The greatest player college basketball’s ever seen announced yesterday that he has cancer.

Kareem’s prognosis for his rare form of leukemia is good. Doctors told the 62-year-old legend that he has “a very good chance to live your life out and not have to make any drastic changes to your lifestyle.”

And that’s good news. To echo this post from Bruins Nation, get better big fella.

You can see Abdul-Jabbar talk about his cancer in the video  below.
