Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joined Charla
Figueroa of the Big Island in holding Figueroa's baby
Shayna yesterday at Ronald McDonald House in Manoa.
Abdul-Jabbar was visiting kids and families at Ronald
McDonald House as part of Montego Joe's Caribbean
Festival, a benefit for Ronald McDonald House charities.
Currently 2 1/2 months old, Shayna Figueroa was born
10 weeks premature with complications, but she and her
mother were released from the care facility yesterday.
Abdul-Jabbar said that when he was born, he weighed
13 pounds, compared to Shayna's 2 pounds, 3.5 ounces.
