Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on LeBron passing him for All-Time Scoring: "It's about time"

[old pig]

damn forgot he about to pass magic in assists too

 

[KidJSoul]

Blame Pelinka and Jeanie Buss

Its an incredible achievement to LeBron that's he's still relevant and expected to carry a franchise in year 20. He's a top 5-8 player in the NBA this year..... That's bananas

Lebron made this mess

 

[In The Zone '98]

Lebron made this mess

Nobody expected Russ to be ass.

The pressure of playing at home broke him.

Lebron should invite Kareem to The Shop and chop it up.

Obviously tone down on the cursive language but it would be dope and break the internet

 

[Kaypain]

Break Kareem’s record while your team record is 4-27.

Would you rather he just retire?

Or would you rather him fake a injury and have the Lakers tank and get New Orleans Victor Wembanyama?

Exactly this.. Russ was expected to be at least average, not the worst starter in the NBA and arguably one of the worst players regardless of $$

I wouldn’t say nobody

Many thought the fit was not good in August 2021 when the trade became official..

Russ playing like an MVP from March 2021 until the playoffs in May 2021 made everyone forget how bad he was when the Wizards were 17-32.

They’ll never admit it, but a lot of them would be elated if Lebron retired right now and didn’t break the scoring record. They’re already preemptively downplaying it under the guise of “who cares if he breaks the record, his team sucks”

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

"He took enough steps to get it done."

 

[Shadow King]

Lebron made this mess

After the Lakers made another mess in not signing who they should've signed.

LeBron on the hunt for my scoring record.​

When LeBron passed Kobe as number three on the all-time scoring board, I knew it was just a matter of time before he passed me too. Records are made to be broken. They are a very direct and concrete ways to measure achievement. Unlike art or literature, greatness is not a matter of taste or expert opinion or anything else but the numbers. And every time a record is broken, all people are elevated.

When I broke Wilt Chamberlain’s scoring record in 1984—the year LeBron was born—it bothered Wilt, who’d had a bit of a one-sided rivalry with me since I’d started doing so well in the NBA. I don’t feel that way toward LeBron. Not only will I celebrate his accomplishment, I will sing his praises unequivocally.

My rebounding record is 17,440 and LeBron is at 10,210. It will be exciting to see him break that one next.

Kobe’s shocking death.​

The one thing impressed me the most in this episode was how sincere and open everyone interviewed was when discussing each other and their love of the game. I found Shaq discussing his regrets about Kobe especially touching.

I was moved by LeBron talking with such affection about his relationship with Kobe. Everything he said in this episode seemed direct, sincere, and good-hearted. He showed himself to be not just a good player, but a good friend and strong spokesperson for the team.

Oh well, I think this kills the false agenda being built about Kareem being upset.

But watch someone still try and poke holes in his comments, and say he really doesn’t mean it. Never stop Collying, The Coli.
