Yes Kareem just has to learn not everything needs to be said to the public. Every move bron makes he has something to say. If you think he’s doing something wrong you can easily get his number and I know bron with all respect he has for the ones who paved the way for him would have a long conversation every time.

One of the worst things for Kareem's image happened in the 1980 Finals. Kareem was well on his way to winning Finals MVP, but he famously got hurt in game 5 and missed game 6. What everyone seems to remember from the 1980 Finals is Magic had 42 and 15 in game 6 and won MVP. What people forget is Kareem had 40 and 15 in game 5 despite playing hurt in the 4th quarter. Playing only five games, Kareem scored more points, grabbed more rebounds, and blocked more shots than anyone else in that series. But Magic was so shockingly great in game 6 that everyone forgets how good Kareem was and that Finals MVP had his name on it if he was available and played a mediocre game.

@@pauls2397 what if he misses some games for injury or "load management"? 🤔
God creates a special guy for every era not in just sports,I'm a Jordan fan period but I welcome LBJ for what he is and represents, I will welcome whoever comes after him, I'm not sleeping on Steph too coz what he does and continues to do is unmatched... Let's for once not argue about our favorite players but appreciate what we get to enjoy every day because of what these guys bring to the table every single day... Much love from South Africa 🌍🙏

Lets just hope we dont lose him after that day. 💔🐍
You have to remember that Jordan and Kareem played several years in college while LeBron was already playing in the NBA. Additionally, 3pters weren't something power forwards and centers never took in the 20th century. Jerry West would probably average 30 a game instead of 27 if a 3pt line existed prior to 1980.
Jabbar was double-teamed when he was FORTY! I personally saw Wes Unseld beat Jabbar. I thought Kareem would turn around and deck him but he didn't! The NBA today allows people to make uncontested layups, travel, and carry the ball. Matter of fact, if you score and travel or carry, you're celebrated! Different league when Kareem played.
Everybody please like this comment so Unc Shay can see this and stop saying LeBron’s been averaging 25ppg…… he’s a career 27ppg scorer 🤦🏾♂️
Kareem came into the league 3 years later than Lebron did, so he played older and in an era where technology and knowledge about keeping your body at top level was not really thing. Add to that that he didn't shoot 3's and you see how huge his record really is. Personally I liked Hakeem more and consider him as best big man of all time but Kareem is there as one of the best ever for sure. This record is extremely dependent on longevity though and like him or not you have to give Lebron props here. He is really putting effort in being fit and ready as he can be.
Kareem is always gonna be one of the greats. I get this is a competitive sport but these men are legendary HUMANS. Numbers and accolades aside.
when you think about it all the all time scores will be made in a laker uniform
If something happens to LeBron before of after he passes Kareem. I will raise some eyebrows.
Magic is a wise man
The reason they both are the top scorers of the game ..these guys have took care of there bodies at the highest.. form Kareem.was an actor .. played in movies with Bruce Lee.. LeBron..has spent Millions on His body. Amd also has played in movies.and it sad that .. they don't know each other...they really are similar..it's Crazy.
Kareem is slowly turning into Wilt.
He was able to get magic on his podcast 😳 magic must think highly of him
New kid for the magic is off to a good start
Kareem is going to get even quieter!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shannon, please let your guest speak!! Cmon son!
The day Lebron gets to watch his two sons go after his records are going to be epic! 😂😂😂
Sounds like some hating shlit to me😂 Kareem is the 🐐
They made the game harder for Kareem and he still scored at will. They didn’t necessarily make it easier for LeBron to score it’s just easier to score in today’s league. Both great players but this statement is fact

@@chag3406 you really believe that? Check out Kobe's stats be fore and after rule change. In fact other than centers check out any player that played before and after kobe just took more advantage of it than most others. You will find that Kobe's stats went up for the next 11 years

In a Defenseless league a lot of records will be broken soon enough
Records are made to be broken. That is the beauty of the game it is always evolving. The skill level within the professional world right now is insane

Kareem better bow to the 👑 he gonna be forced to congratulate Bron 😭
I'm sure Magic has an ego as all superstars do, but whether it's speaking about Jordan, Kareem, Bird, LeBron, Kobe, etc Magic always gives them their props and speaks so highly of them. People forget Magic played only 12 seasons due to having to retire because of HIV. He went to the finals 9 times and won 5 rings. He was only 32 when he retired and still playing at an MVP level. One of the greatest of all time. Number 4 in my opinion, again, in only 12 seasons.
Sucks because Kareem is like 80!!
In Kareems era they played hard street ball defense in todays era they don't play defense the NBA today isn't as tough as it use to be defensive players look(with hands on hips) at the opponent dribble buy them n score so Kareem will always be the man
