The Proud Family Wiki

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Brown (voiced by Asanté Blackk) is a character in the revival series The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder. He is Penny Proud's boyfriend.[1]

Appearance[]

Kareem is 6'6" tall, slim with a medium-dark complexion and dark brown hair and dark pupils. He has miniature dreadlocks on the top of his head with a taper cut on the sides and back. He wears a grey hoodie underneath a black t-shirt with a Forté symbol on the front, illustrating his love for music. He also wears tight blue jeans and yellow sneakers.

Personality[]

Kareem is a nice, polite, easygoing, and artistic boy. He does have some skills on the basketball court but it's clear his passions are more in music than in sports. He also likes to read books and hangs out in the library.

History[]

Kareem made his first appearance in "It All Started with an Orange Basketball" as he and Penny were studying and watching a movie simultaneously. Despite being tall and having natural athletic ability, he chooses not to play the sport of basketball and instead plays the cello for the Willie T. Ribbs Middle School band. LaCienega Boulevardez attempted to seduce Kareem when she saw Penny was too busy playing on her father's Proud Snax basketball team; however, his heart stayed with Penny. Kareem is also the first of Penny's love interests that LaCienega deliberately tried to steal away from despite establishing a track record of following girl code and instead consistently supporting her love interests throughout the original series. Despite the failed attempt, Kareem remains cordial towards LaCienega and the two often share a good laugh when Penny is not around.

Trivia[]

  • Kareem's name is a reference to the NBA legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who is known for his height.
  • On his shirt, there's a Forté symbol which is used as a dynamic directive in sheet music in its abbreviated form, {f} to indicate raising the volume of the music. It can also refer to someone's strong point or ability at certain talents.
  • He seems to be a combination of Penny's former love interests Omar Phillips and the pastor's son Tory as he has similar hair color and wears similar color clothing to that of Omar while having a similar charm and disposition as well as body structure (tall and slim) to Tory.
