Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spent his 68th birthday undergoing quadruple coronary bypass surgery, and early reports after yesterday's operation suggest he'll be around to celebrate plenty of other birthdays. Abdul-Jabbar was diagnosed with heart disease only this week, reports the Los Angeles Times, and he underwent the procedure at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. His surgeon predicted a full recovery, and a statement released in the NBA legend's name says he's "looking forward to getting back to his normal activities soon." (He battled leukemia about six years ago.)
