I came here for a basketball interview and it was so much better than that! Good guest and thank you for letting Kareem speak on social issues. He is truly “more than an athlete”
I haven't heard Kareem speak a lot but as a guy who isn't even American, you can see there's a lot of truth in what he's saying and he approaches issues rationally instead of being a reactionary or really radical.
RESPECT TO KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR TO MENTION THE REAL ISSUES, MOST RICH ATHLETES DONT WANT TO MENTION THESE ISSUES OR ARE AFRAID TO SAY ANYTHING AS THEY MAY OFFEND THE WRONG PEOPLE, WE NEED MORE OUTSPOKEN PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE PUBLIC EYE/MEDIA.. MAYBE THEN WE MIGHT SEE SOME CHANGES!!! ✊✊👍🏻🙏🏻
I TOO CANNOT HELP BUT USE ALL CAPS!! LOWERCASE IS FOR PEONS AND PLEBS!!!! WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL CHANGE, YELLING MUST OCCUR!!!!! MAKE WORLD BETTER NOW!!!!!
I grew up with Jabbar always classy, he is so low key. Never new his kid had such prominent education and great careers. If this was the new generation they would be on UA-cam with their kids at age 1 to 30 saying look at my rich life and look at my kids. Always had respect for him and others who were in the picture with Muhammad Ali. They could have had there careers killed. Glad I grew up with these guys when black men were men, and we were not trying to call ourselves the “N “ word. We were trying to educate ourselves and grow mentally and economically.
Most dominant player in high school, college and NBA history. Not to mention he’s a great author and his mind is special. How many people, let athletes can speak so broadly about what’s going on. Jerome Adams is an Oreo Trump lackey.
The most unstoppable shot in the history of basketball is Kareem's SKYHOOK Diplomatic change vs non diplomatic change is the inherent constant struggle kareem is referring to.
He was never given a coaching job in the NBA or had a statue built outside of the Staples Center, SOLELY because of his views. That is vile, but not surprising.
I dont disagree with what Kareem is saying but he is ignoring so many other factors. You cant always point the finger at someone else. African Americans are also at higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, obesity etc which are leading factors to deaths of covid. Also, the African american community are currently ignoring the social distancing rules more than any other community. The Breakfast club has been preaching everyday to social distance and if you scroll through the comments all you see are conspiracy theories.they had boosie on talking about how hes throwing a topless pool party and he doesnt care about covid. Other rappers have said the same. Again I agree with Kareem on the factors he mentioned but that's not the whole story. He is turning a blind eye to the issue within the community people are doing to themselves.
@ There is a genetic component that you're ignoring. Also, you can get fresh groceries cheaper than takeaway so I think that's an excuse people like to make for bad diet choices.
@kidoman8 Forget everything Kareem said and ask yourself this. If a pandemic struck the community you live in and the world around you who do you think is going to suffer the most the have or the have nots?
@@richardthomas1376 Sadly people do not want to address these real issues. More so if you about part of the affected community because it is depressing to take personal responsibility for things you thought were out of your control (speaking from experience). it is unfortunate many celebrity within the community like Kareem just say what they think people want to hear to save public image because it will never address what is really needed. You could show him a vid of people chanting eff covid and partying in New York and he'd probably say its discrimination to only focus on the marginalize or some other similar talking point to distract. I want everyone safe as much as anyone, all i ask for is honest conversation on every cause not just the ones that fits an agenda.
we need more kareem, he has lived through some crazy times and has alot of wisdom to share.
Took Wilt's Crown and first to break all his records.
Mr K.A-J, this is what a real GOAT looks like.
38,387...
A legitimately great man
Buddhas' Palm Totally agree. This man seats on a table by himself when it comes to greatness. Jordan the most iconic, Kareem the GOAT.
Buddhas' Palm the goat in 2k and real life
The real GOAT and a prince of a man. Hats off to Cap and the unstoppable Sky Hook!
GOAT and GOAT = Ernie and Kareem.

Ernie Johnson Jr is awesome and much love to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Go Lakers!!!

Not a Laker fan but I love Kareem. Happy 70th birthday.

What a GREAT interview
Kareem said, "I just wish the NBA would let them play defense (you can't touch nobody these days)!
The God of Sky Hooks
The Only NBA Player who fought Bruce Lee. #Legends
The most unstoppable shot in the history of basketball is Kareem's SKYHOOK
Diplomatic change vs non diplomatic change is the inherent constant struggle kareem is referring to.
Kareeeeeeeeeeeeeem
if anyone ever went and learned the skyhook from kareem they could be unstoppable
Anyone else think that ernie looks like Tom mcmanus from the TV show Oz
Love these guys, didn’t even mention race density population since cities are most effected that matters a lot
Yes
*Happy Easter*
Thanks for shedding light on the racist aspect of the virus.And thank you Kareem for being a voice for so many.And to the gentleman who cares so much.
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Could be worse. Could be Chris Jackson
Ernie Johnson

@kidoman8 Yes there are other factors I just simplified it.. Nevermind those that ignore social distances to party that's just open defiance.
2nd greatest nba player and THE most accomplished basketball player in general

I thought he was lew alcindo
Is dude wearing eye shadow?
Kareem is a pothead lol
People are putting theirselves at risk with house parties, and all kinds of bs. Don't play the race card.
Gianiss is a better version than KAJ
Not even close
theres not even a comparison to be made their.
@@Datboyjoc how you know youngin, you watch Kareem play??
To me he reminds me of what Hank Gathers would've been straight power or Oscar Robertson or what about a better version Charles Barkley
Only in your dreams.
