Then we stipulate, from what ACD tells us about Mycroft, how he and Sherlock would naturally gravitate to different interests. Since we begin Mycroft’s “life” at 23 (in Mycroft Holmes), we have some leeway as to who their parents are and what the dynamics are. We began to wonder how two people who should have so much in common are instead little more than polite strangers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: We were extremely curious about their relationship because in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle books, they are polite and Sherlock is certainly admiring of his older brother’s genius, but neither is in the other’s social circle(s) and if they spend leisure time together, we are not informed. Why introduce Sherlock as such a pivotal character? I corresponded with the NBA Hall-of-Famer and the seasoned screenwriter via email about their detective sequel, tackling such a famous canon, and tried to get them to predict the 2018–19 NBA champion.Īdam Vitcavage: The first novel focused on solely on Mycroft Holmes. Mycroft and Sherlock adds yet another wrinkle to the Holmes-canon that is equally refreshing and a return to classic Holmesian mystique and intrigue. Now, the duo returns with a sequel to the work that brings the brothers together to solve a crime. Abdul-Jabbar and Waterhouse rounded out the character and made him a complex main character in a thrilling detective tale. Mycroft Holmes presented Mycroft in a light that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s work never did. He teamed with seasoned screenwriter Anna Waterhouse in 2017 for Mycroft Holmes, a book about the older, and smarter, brother to Sherlock Holmes. After his retirement, he has become a fixture in the media as well as bookstores. Season after season he skyhooked his way to becoming the National Basketball League’s all-time leading scorer. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spent decades proving his prowess on the basketball court.
