Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wasn't mouthy, but old white men hated him too.
And he said that lots of times, he didn't even run down court. And that he didn't really try except during the playoffs.

My dad hated both of them. He also hated all of the white athletes with long hair. Especially that pantyhose wearing Joe Namath. The 1963 Super Bowl might not be UTEP vs Kentucky, but it was a clash of cultures. My dad was about ready to quit watching the NFL when Joe Willy beat Johnny Unitas' little brother Earl Morrall. It was flat tops and high tops losing to long hair and white shoes, after all. He wouldn't have been any madder, if Namath had been black. 
That was when I started pulling for the teams he hated. Before they merged, I pulled for the AFC teams in Super Bowls. I really loved the Chiefs. Had a red and white number 89 jersey I wear when we played, and pretended I was Otis Taylor.
