The NBA legend has criticized LeBron James multiple times for his comments on vaccination during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 74-year-old Hall of Famer explained his past critiques of James after unveiling the NBA’s new Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Trophy, which will be given annually to recognize a player’s work on social justice issues, during a ceremony at Crypto.com Arena before the Lakers hosted the Denver Nuggets.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar says he’d be willing to meet Lakers’ LeBron James to discuss their differences on issues like vaccine advocacy: “I admire the things he’s done… Sending a whole school to college, wow, that’s amazing… Some of the things he’s done he should be embarrassed by.”
