I don't know how to react to this news.
Has he written anything before?

Wasn't the whole point of Mycroft's character that he was even smarter than Holmes but crippled by just terrible, terrible laziness?
He's not exactly the most compelling protagonist.

It's a celebrity edition, he rekt the competition on Jeopardy.

Every millennial dreams of being an ubermensch if they had to try a little.
Mycroft could be a Holmes for the 21st century better than Cumbersnatch ever was.

Since retiring from b-ball Kareem has done so much shit that has nothing to do with basketball it boggles the mind.
He's just doing whatever the hell he wants now and it's fascinating.

What else has he done? Besides Airplane.

>smarter than Holmes
>crippled by terrible laziness
It's tailor made for us.

He's been on several quiz-type shows like Jeopardy and the like, was on a diving contest show, celebrity dance-offs, he's gotten his license to be a pilot, and gotten a second degree.
Dude's just doin' whatever he wants.

That's cool I guess. Never been a big Holmes fan but Kareem's a cool cat.

He basically does every time he shows up. Dude's great, they don't make them like Kareem any more.
