Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Trolls Celtics Fans During Jimmy Fallon Interview

NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joined The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night and played a game where he settled various debates, either basketball related or not.

One of the debates centered around the best hot dog topping. Abdul-Jabbar surprised Fallon and the audience when he gave his quick response.

“The tears of the 1985 Celtics when they lost to the Lakers in the finals,” Abdul-Jabbar said.

Although this specific NBA title was Abdul-Jabbar’s fourth out of his six rings, the 1985 series obviously meant a lot to him.
