People say Magic is annoying now but its really Kareem

[Big J]

Kareem is incredibly well spoken and thoughtful. Try to actually listen to what he is saying and you might learn something.

I was watching SB Nation's deep dive on Wilt and Kareem's beef and was a little shocked by how vicious Kareem could be when talking about another player to the media. He's still like this.

But I can't imagine too many people find him more annoying than Magic. Used car salesman charm combined with some of the worst basketball analysis you'll ever see on TV. Always so transparently trying to control the narrative but thinks no one notices. The kind of person that will constantly tell you stories about what a cool guy he is and all the cool things he did.

Retired stars don't like it when they think that a current player is disrespecting the NBA or other players.

I have given off alot of weird ass vibes in my life so I know it when I see it. Kareem is doo doo butter.

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.

Are you saying that he has AIDS or that's how you felt as a kid

Kareem has a thousand ideas for how a better world is supposed to be, yet keeps forgetting to clean his own room, decades after decades.

"A revolutionary mindset is the corrosion of the character".

Magic has that fake Hollywood producer persona. I have no idea how anyone likes him. Are they just faking it because he is rich and a big name?

Canceling anti-vaxxers was so like 4 months ago

He comes across as super salty too being that Lebron is right on his toes for his precious scoring record
