His name means fearless, brave one (Swahili via Arabic). Comes from the root word for "ruler/leader". Already a pretty awesome name. Reminds me of Hakeem, also a Swahili/Arabic name which means wise one, via the root word... you guessed it... ruler. Both came into the league with DYNAMIC defense, blocks, steals capabilities relative to their time. Both showed up to the league masters of what the offense is about in their era (Hakeem in the post, Jabari from 3pt land). He's going to rule over these mofo's I'll tell you that.
All-Star Jabar! Eventually just All-Star… Speak it into existence!!! @D-rock Go Rockets!!! ……. ……. …….
Something tells me his nick name will just blossom out of play. He's like Durant and Reggie Miller cloned in a lab. He has a unique enough first name to become a one name athlete.
