LeBron James Gets Ripped by Lakers Icon
LeBron James gets ripped by haters on a daily basis. We can understand that. He is the best basketball player of all time. Haters don’t like winners. Unfortunately, a Lakers legend ripped him again. I guess Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did this after watching the Lakers destroy their season.
The Los Angeles Lakers struggle to make an impact. They sit outside the playoff picture at the moment.
Abdul-Jabbar arrived at Crypto.com Arena to give Carmelo Anthony the newly-signed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Trophy. It honors Melo as the NBA’s Social Justice Champion for the 2020-21 NBA season. Abdul-Jabbar talked to the media and used the opportunity to take a shot at LeBron.
“Some of the things he’s done and said are really beneath him, as far as I can see,” Abdul-Jabbar said about LeBron. “Some of the great things that he’s done, he’s standing on both sides of the fence almost, you know? It makes it hard for me to accept that when he’s committed himself to a different take on everything. It’s hard to figure out where he’s standing. You’ve got to check him out every time.”
LeBron James gets ripped by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar AGAIN
Abdul-Jabbar has already done this before. He criticized LeBron for his attitude during the pandemic. He wanted LeBron to use his platform and convince people that they have to receive the vaccine. There’s more. Abdul-Jabbar didn’t like LeBron’s celebration dance either.
What about LeBron’s Spider-Man post?
Abdul-JAbbar praises LeBron and everything he did over the years. However, he never misses a chance to criticize LeBron.
“LeBron is still the daunting hero I described two years ago,” Abdul-Jabbar wrote. “He’s still a major force in improving lives in the Black Community. He’s still one of the greatest basketball players in history. He’s still a man who has earned the overwhelming admiration of millions. And every day he goes out and proves why he deserves that admiration.
“On occasion, I have chided LeBron when I thought he was dropping the ball when it came to supporting the community. But I did so in the spirit of a loving older brother offering guidance, whether wanted or not. So, when I said that he has done some things he should be embarrassed about, that wasn’t a slam or a barb or even a finger wag, it was me recapping some of what I’d said in the past. The Sports Illustrated article was an homage to LeBron for winning the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award for his role in social activism. So, when I think he may be veering from the path that made him win that award, I’ll mention it. I’m a journalist. That’s what I do. But I believe LeBron is strong enough and gracious enough to understand that I have only love for him in my heart.”
