I see stuff this like every year from Kareem and as a longtime NBA fan I think he needs to be called on it. He always says stuff then takes it back.

He has been out of the league forever so you think he could have grown as a man. He acts woke then regresses to his true self. He can't coach or even get along with people long enough after retirement to help future generations. It is like he has had 30 years to work on himself and he still is salty for some reason but claims he is super woke when everyone else isn't. Dude was a drama king when he was Lew Alcindor. He just likes to leave out stuff that relates to his own failures as a human being that he was born super tall and dominated in an era were he was the most athletic. He was blessed with a life many can't even have. I don't think ive ever seen an athlete as ungrateful as him during retirement.
"Some of the great things that he's done, he's standing on both sides of the fence almost, you know? It makes it hard for me to accept that when he's committed himself to a different take on everything. It's hard to figure out where he's standing. You've got to check him out every time."
Lebron can't be happy he is making clutch moves in a competitive event on a court at his age? Would Jordan not do the same?
Does Kareem not know how massive a prick Jordan is off the court and he is considered better than both?
Even as a kid Magic was more likable to me. Dude had AIDs and a corny TV show and was more likable. Magic is like a version of Charles Barkley. He plays up to the camera but deep down you know he is a good dude. I know firmly now Kareem is not a good dude. I see he is sick now so I will give him a pass if he isn't feeling well but my criticism goes years back before all that.
