Finally got around to reading this piece. Great, great read.

Really eager to see that biographical HBO documentary. It airs on Tues, 11/3 @ 10pm - Kareem: Minority of One

Kareem is one of those type of brothas who was born woke and never fell back asleep. One of the brightest minds in all of sports. It's a travesty there is not a statue of him outside the Lakers arena.

Um, they put one there a couple years ago

Couldn't imagine being gawked at every day, and having every random strager you see expect you to shake their hands and engage them in some corny convo of small talk, and not being able to turn that off its just an all day every day occurance. shyt sounds like a nightmare

:dead: at Kareem saying he would have used social media. The guy went out of his way to be an aloof dikkhead. Same story with Barry Bonds, he has made several comments about not understanding why he's hated but it was exactly what he asked for his whole career. He didn't want people to get to know him, he wanted people to stay the fukk out of his business. It shouldn't be that difficult to understand.
