Abdul-Jabbar is a living legend but he's dead wrong with this take about another living legend.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the all-time NBA scoring leader, one of the individuals who helped make basketball as popular as it is today, deserves utmost respect for his storied career and the way he has used his influence to push for positive change on and off the court. Even greats can have bad opinions, though, and Abdul-Jabbar's recent comments on Dirk Nowitzki are indisputably that.
During a lengthy interview with Tyler Cowen through the Mercatus Center, Abdul-Jabbar gave a wide-ranging interview discussing segregation, Islam and eventually basketball.
