Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a sane voice in a chaotic, crazy environment that's widespread in America right now. Thank you to him for that ❤
You never mentioned Kareem's many books! He is an author and has written truly engrossing novels of fiction regarding Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes! I mean, INCREDIBLY good. Any Holmes fan is missing out if they haven't read them. I admire everything about this good man.
Kareem is an angel on Earth. Much love, from a die hard Celtic fan!
Mr Jabbar transcended the NBA, long before he even played his first game! Simply by finishing what he started at UCLA, in spectacular fashion. The NBA had to wait.
Ali threw his Olympic medal into the river, Mr Jabbar had sense enough to not have picked it up in the first place.
Mr Jabbar has been a man for so long, it’s humbling that his age might some day soon catch up to him. His age had to wait.
Of course he’s sharing his thoughts now. You don’t evolve by attempting to recapture your past. (Like that other Laker surrounding himself with sports teams! No offense Magic, but enough already).
You are more likely to evolve by attaching what is a very unique perspective on living, to conversations that will perhaps move mankind forward.
Thank you Mr Jabbar.
Kareem was my favorite player, I enjoyed watching the Lakers, but also that he was so smart, and carried himself so well. Those current athletes who think they are "doing something" with their little "protests" but then have no respectability off the court, aren't making any real statement except "look at me." Maybe they should look at Kareem and get inspired to really take a stand that has depth.
IT'S always honourable to stick to ones principles!! Been a fun since your days of incredible basketball player,your politics .... Wonderful to seeing you still ✊💥💥💥💥💖💖
Wishing you a full and fast recovery Kareem 💕 🙏
Enjoying the conversation of home being real about himself
Kareem gives me a black Alpha male vibe. He is a strong, straight shooter and supports the community.
Whenever Kareem speaks, I listen. The 🐐
I always really liked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar .
Then I heard he had a very impressive Jazz album collection with a lot of hard to find and valuable music ; some of it given to him by his Dad who introduced him to Jazz .
Somewhere is the vid talking about when his home had a fire and destroyed his album collection .
He was devastated and I felt so sad for him .
I hope Kareem's gotten it replaced although he'll never really be able to replace what was given him by his Dad .
No doubt that must have really hurt .
I remember when that happened
@@manny4552 yep ... my heart really went out to him when he told that story .
@@gardensofthegods yeah it's something not easily replaced he spent years putting it together .. not like replacing his washing machine or tv
@@manny4552 yeah , I know ... how depressing that had to be for him , I can just imagine .
Kareem is an awesome dude❤
Surprised that Jim Axelrod and the producers didn't mention Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's role in the Bruce Lee flick, Game of Death, especially considering that the fight between Abdul-Jabbar and Lee is the first scene that appears in CBS Sunday Morning's 'Honoring Bruce Lee' CZcams segment.
It has never proven to be a mistake to spend some time listening to Kareem. He is a fount of experience and knowledge about human beings, life, history, and of course basketball. Beautiful man with a great mind and a better heart.
I always enjoy hearing him speak about basketball and politics... An interesting intelligent guy
Excellent, Kareem. Social consciousness leads to greatness not marketing and capitalism. The Ali Summit was a real test of manhood.
Bro. Jackie Robison wrote him a letter? That is amazing.
to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or PROBABLY will really LOVE kareem abdul-jabbar
Kareem for president!
Respect 🙏
I can only remember the scene in airplane when he's the pilot
Ben Mankiewicz kind of looking a little bit confused like how in the world could have Barbie movie become such a Blockbuster ?
... and I don't blame him .
👍
All these parents gonna tell how they wasted all these years playing games instead of
Stopping death and destruction result of their lack of attention
Jordan was good in his time! But Kareem was better in his time!
Allahu Akbar. The man is a Muslim.
The question about the genocide of gay men women and transgender by Islamic Muslim and the Nation of Islam Muslims about the genocide of gay men women and transgender 0:13
What a great. I love this man.
He never made clear view on Gaza.
Please don't WASTE OUR TIME WITH USELESS PROGRAMS
OF COURSE IT PAYING YOU MONEY BUT IT'S DUMB. REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING WILL PERISH ONE DAY AND BE BURRIED AND FORGOTTEN. PRAY AND FEED THE POOR
First of all, so-called "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar" isn't even his real birth name? I think it's a disgrace and shows complete disrespect of one's heritage to change their birth name, unless when a woman gets married. If a woman gets married and DOESN'T change her last name, that shows no respect to her husband. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the name "Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr"?! The change was probably made as a result of a greedy Business Manager with respect to perceived anticipation of greater recognition and subsequent monetary gain?! Furthermore why would anybody put a hyphen in their name, ESPECIALLY a man?!
It was actually his choice. At the time he was following Malcom Smith and Allja Mahammond. A lot of black were converting their name as it was seen as a form of rebellion against the US. You know… that small racist country he was allowed to make millions in.
Who hired you as a bot
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a horrible in despicable human being
They're too lazy to redo the intro with something like we bring you every weekend with things you've already seen from us because we're too lazy to produce anything for free even though we went to school for a degree that was BS and said we're not doing it for the money. we're following our passion.
huh?
