Your obsession with Kareem in HS is creepy.

You're creepy, with your obsession with me.
I'm just giving sports facts.
The dude is the best H.S./College player of all-time.
And dominated those levels when everyone thought Wilt would...but didn't, as Kareem rightly points out...
And then Kareem won right away in the NBA with an expansion team no less.
Kareem won at every level and Wilt didn't. That was the point of Kareem's letter. Sorry it ruffles your feathers to point that out and explain why Kareem was pissed that Wilt was calling him out.

Kareem has a very solid case for GOAT, at worst he should be 2-3 tied with Russell or Bird, he wasn’t a media darling nor compelling pitchman and that’s where he gets lost compared to MJ in the GOAT analysis it’s as simple as that plus the visual aesthetics of MJ playing are simply mind-blowing

Kareem lead the most underperforming teams in NBA history in 78 and 79 playing with Adrian Dantley, Jamal Wilkes and Norm Nixon.
This is dumb.
Dantley didn’t play two full seasons seasons w Kareem. Not to mention that you list three players w similar scoring games. It’s like you don’t even know why AD had to be moved.
In 78 Nixon was a rookie. Ad was 22. Wilkes has maybe played 4 years.
Yeah. Losing to the SuperSonics w DJ, Gus Williams, Sikma, Downtown, Webster, JJ, Silas and Shelton was horrible. Lol
And then losing to them again when they were the champs. Lol

quote:what are you talking about? Nixon was a pass first PG. Wilkes was do it all player who didn't need the ball and as a rookie won a ring as the 2nd best player on the Warriors. Maybe Dantley was overqualified as a secondary scorer? They were a good fit.
Not to mention that you list three players w similar scoring games.
And even past that big 4 they had excellent rotation pieces in Lou Hudson and Ron Boone/Charlie Scott
quote:Yeah the Lakers were much more talented.
Losing to the SuperSonics w DJ, Gus Williams, Sikma, Downtown, Webster, JJ was horrible. Lol
If there is any excuse you could make for Kareem its Jerry West was a bad coach

Kareem the SJW published yet another broadside against our duly elected President yesterday, this time running to a foreign paper to launch his missive:
Canceling season act of Patriotism, which is more than you can say about drumpf - by Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Kareem also trashed Trump during the campaign, after the election, and several times during the Kaepernick kneeling to mock fallen officers and military during our pregame National anthem

PTE started off as a Lebron stan and has evolved into a full blown politard NPC.

Whiny Lew also had this guy named Oscar leading him and another guy who should be in the Hall by the name of Bob Dandridge carrying him to a title while he was worried about getting his numbers, another thing he criticized Wilt for yet did himself.
Wilt was a Man’s man. Kareem was and is a whiny bitch.

Not to say Kareem isn't right about Wilt but Kareem did the same thing to the Bucks. He threatened to sit out an entire season if they didn't trade him to the Lakers or Knicks. It makes what AD did to the Pelicans seem like child's play.

They grew up during a time when just looking at a white woman would get you killed. So yes, it’s not a shocking revelation that they felt that way.

Your understanding of their motivations is flawed. This is what Ali thought:
In 1975, amid the frenzy over the impending “Thrilla in Manila,” his third title fight with Joe Frazier, Ali argued vehemently in a Playboy interview that interracial couples ought to be lynched. “A black man should be killed if he’s messing with a white woman,” he said. And it was the same for a white man making a pass at a black woman. “We’ll kill anybody who tries to mess around with our women.” But suppose the black woman wanted to be with the white man, the interviewer asked. “Then she dies,” Ali answered. “Kill her too.”

KAJ is no doubt an American hating, Trump bashing lover of the religion of peace, but he ain't wrong about what he wrote in reference to Wilt. Wilt bashed Jabbar relentlessly. Kareem simply responded.

Wilt wasn’t a soft commie riding on the coattails of others.
Posted on 3/14/20 at 11:50 am to CDawson
Wilt said Kareem didn’t work hard enough on defense. 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.
