Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who many consider the greatest player in the history of collegiate and professional basketball, will compete on the 26th season of ABC’s hit show ‘Dancing with the Stars.’
He’s joined by Johnny Damon, Tonya Harding and Jennie Finch Daigle as former athletes who are competing in the show’s 26th season, which begins April 30. The new season will be shortened to four weeks, which may be a positive for Abdul-Jabbar, now 70.
This year’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ cast also features current athletes, many of whom made a name for themselves at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
