Shortly after saying LeBron James has done things that are “embarrassing” and “are beneath him,” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar released a statement, clarifying his criticism of the current Lakers star.
In an email sent to the Los Angeles Times on Sunday afternoon, Abdul-Jabbar elaborated on his thoughts about James as an activist. He called the Lakers forward a “daunting hero” and explained that his full comments about James were simply a recap of remarks he has made in the past.
“Over the years, I’ve been asked to comment on and write about LeBron James,” Abdul-Jabbar began.
