And yes, if you’re brilliant and give yourself a #PartyDown Twitter handle, I'll hire you. Or, you could be the NBA’s all time leading scorer, but you must still be brilliant. pic.twitter.com/4Qk2uqcKey
In addition to being the NBA's all-time leading scorer, Abdul-Jabbar is also a New York Times best-selling author who has written more than 10 books. His latest, "Mycroft and Sherlock," is set to release next month.
The original "Veronica Mars," which starred Kristen Bell as the title character, ran for three seasons from 2004 to 2007. Bell announced last week that she'll be reprising her role after Hulu picked up the revival.
