“LeBron said we don’t have a relationship. He’s right – and for that I blame myself.” NBA icons Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James put aside their frosty past for a special moment after having not always seen eye to eye on certain issues. NBA LakeShow
Abdul-Jabbar, who played the final 14 seasons of his Hall of Fame career with the Lakers, hugged James and presented him with the record-setting ball during an on-court ceremony on Tuesday to recognize the scoring feat.
Abdul-Jabbar has previously written about his disappointment with James’ stance on COVID-19 vaccines, including a meme posted by James on social media that compared COVID-19 to colds and the flu which Abdul-Jabbar said would only encourage vaccine hesitancy and put lives at risk. “When he started to make a name for himself, I was already pretty removed from the NBA world,” wrote the 75-year-old Abdul-Jabbar.
