With James sidelined due to injury, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Denver Nuggets 118-129 at home today (4th). When asked about his views on James' zeal for social justice, Lakers legend Abdul-Jabbar said he did not have a consistent stance and was a wall-rider.
Starting this year, the NBA has created a new award under the name of Jabbar to recognize players who have contributed to social justice. When it was announced that the award would be created, some people thought it was an award tailored for James, but the final first winner was Cameron Anthony.
Abdul-Jabbar came to the stadium today to present the trophy to Anthony. Asked in a subsequent media interview about James's contributions to social justice, he didn't say anything nice: "As far as I see, sometimes what he does and says really doesn't look like he would do." ”
"He's done some great things, and his stance is wobbly, you know?" "When he says something different about everything, it really makes it hard for me to accept what he's saying, to figure out which side he's on, to re-examine every time," Abdal said. ”
Abdul-Jabbar has been critical of James all along, including when he made an indecent celebration that imitated Kassel after scoring a three-pointer, And Abdul-Jabbar said: "It's enough to win, why do you have to do something stupid and disrespect your opponent?" The strongest players of all time don't dance the egg catch dance. ”
While James had previously suspected memetic suspicion that severe special infectious pneumonia was no different from the common cold, Abdul-Jabbar, who believed that blacks were a high-risk group and called for vaccination, also criticized James.
Speaking about these two things today, Abdul-Jabbar said: "Of course I have higher expectations for him. He stressed that James still had some commendable deeds, such as sending poor children to college, etc., but felt that James should be embarrassed about some of his behavior. ”
Abdul-Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar also praised James' accomplishments on the court, talking about the possibility that his record for the most points in regular season history could be surpassed by James, saying: "I'm very supportive of him breaking the record, not a record at all. I just want to talk about these issues, these things that really affect the black community, he should be more careful. ”
