The former Lakers star said Sunday that LeBron James 'should be embarrassed' by some of his actions.
in 2020, when the magazine gave James a sportsperson of the year award. “This generation couldn’t do any better in the hero department than LeBron James,” Abdul-Jabbar had written. “Part of being a hero is to have both the modesty to feel unworthy of such a heavy word and the strength to accept the responsibility that comes with others looking to you to be that hero.”
In addition to being multi-time NBA champions and MVP award winners with deep ties to the Lakers, Abdul-Jabbar and James are linked by their career longevity and the all-time league marks they have attained. The NBA scoring record of 38,387 points that Abdul-Jabbar accumulated over 20 seasons is very much on the horizon for the 37-year-old James, who has come within 1,325 points over almost 19 seasons.
“I think if [James] stays healthy, he has every shot of breaking the record,” Abdul-Jabbar said Monday . “It’s a marathon race. It’s not a sprint. And he’s real close. “So I hope that he achieves everything that he wants to achieve, because the accolades that he’s gotten for himself throughout his career are so well deserved and absolutely something that he has earned.”
