His antics are not nice. So were Jim Brown's. The man seems to be annoyed by one of them. That is the issue.
When the education system fails, Kyrie Irving's thought process is an example of what can happen. It was the latest in a long line of things that Irving has said and done that has made people either ignore or not care about all the charitable things he has done.
The dude has become a gullible pawn due to his lack of a cause.
Irving doesn't seem to have the capacity to change, but we have the ability to fight against his destructive behavior. His words may have been directed at the Brooklyn Nets player, but they could also have been about Jim Brown.
In addition to being in a classic photo with Bill Russell, Muhammad Ali, Brown, and others, Abdul-Jabbar was also in a photo with Brown and Russell. I want you to know that Jim Brown has never been mean. This is the reason why it is so frustrating to see a titan like Adbul-Jabbar have all this smoke for Irving but not for Brown.
We all know that the image from the Muhammad Ali Summit is the stand of unity. That wasn't its original intent. I don't know how you know. It's because Abdul-Jabbar told me in an email.
The purpose of the summit was to determine the validity of Muhammad Ali's claims that he wouldn't accept being drafted based on his religious beliefs. Several athletes who were ex-military were not on board with the idea of him being supported by everyone. He convinced us that he was sincere.
Brown organized the picture of the Black athlete using their platform in this country because he thought Ali was out of line and doing too much.
Some may have thought it was the decision of a buffoon. Brown did a lot of good in the past. The bad was not good. Outside of being a Donald Trump fan that publicly supported and admired him, and also blasting Colin Kaepernick's peaceful protest, Brown isn't fond of women.
You can take a look.
Brown was acquitted after he was accused of attacking an 18-year-old girl.
Brown was accused of trying to kill a model, but the charge was later dropped.
Brown was acquitted of assault and battery charges after being accused of road rage.
Brown was accused of raping a woman.
Brown was arrested for attacking his fiancée.
Brown was accused of making terrorist threats towards his wife. He was convicted of vandalizing his wife's car with a shovel.
It doesn't seem like the kind of guy Abdul-Jabbar would be accepting an award from.
The sad thing about this situation is that someone like Abdul-Jabbar, who is so admired and revered for the things he always stood for, has turned into a grumpy old man. The people who were depicted in the series have shown us through their words, actions, or their own docuseries that the show pretty much nailed it.
He said the Chris Rock/ Will Smith incident was a blow to the entire Black community, but forgot to mention that he came off as someone who wanted Black Americans to walk on eggshells to appease white people. He destroyed any relationship he had with James when he criticized him for dancing after his 3-pointer against the Pacers.
I don't understand why you need to do a stupid dance. It makes no sense that GOATs don't dance.
James was asked about his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, as he is about to surpass him as the game's all-time leading scorer. James said there were no thoughts and no relationships.
What you don't say is louder than what you said. Over the last few years, as athletes have used their platforms to speak out for change in a way that we hadn't seen since the 1960s, the divide between those that look up to him and those that don't has grown.
It doesn't make sense that athletes are doing things differently now than they were in the past. It was never done with Jim Brown that people would hold him accountable for his faults.
