Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Carmelo Anthony
Carmelo Anthony accepts LA Lakers legends Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James ought to plunk down and discuss their issues with one another. Abdul-Jabbar censured LeBron in a meeting with ESPN on Sunday, saying the 37-year-old ought to be humiliated about a portion of the things he has done off the court.
“Some of the things he’s done and said are really beneath him, as far as I can see,” Abdul-Jabbar told to ESPN. “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.”

Abdul-Jabbar featured a portion of the extraordinary things LeBron James has done previously, alluding to the King sending ‘LeBron James’ I Promise’ School children to a school program free of charge. Notwithstanding, he kept on being condemning James’ different activities, saying:
“I admire the things that he’s done that have gotten all our attention. Sending a whole school to college? Wow. That’s amazing. His thoughtfulness and willingness to back it up with his wallet, you got to give him credit for that. So I’m not throwing stones. I just wish he wouldn’t — you know, some of the things he’s done, he should be embarrassed about. That’s just where I’m coming from.”
LA Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony was asked by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin assuming he would work with a peacemaking discussion between LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, to which he answered by saying that the two ought to have a discussion away from plain view about their issues.
“Two powerful Black men getting in the room together and talking and speaking and putting things on the table, however, anybody feels,” said Anthony
Carmelo continued:
“In our community, we need those tough conversations, we need those uncomfortable conversations. So if Kareem wants to sit down and talk, if Bron wants to sit down and talk, I think that’s a conversation that needs to be had. I don’t think we need Kareem lashing out at Bron, and you haven’t seen Bron say anything about Kareem… Again, it’s behind closed doors. Let’s talk about what’s the issue. We’re both Black men. I think that would be a powerful conversation.”
