    Love him or hate him, there is no denying him. LeBron James set the NBA record for most points scored when he made a jumper with 10.9 seconds left in the third quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder on February 7th, giving him 38,388 points and breaking the record Kareem Abdul-Jabbar held since 1984. Unfortunately for his team’s more immediate concern, the Lakers lost at home to the Thunder 133-130.The game was paused for several minutes as James was honored by NBA commissioner Adam Silver and greeted by his mother, wife, and children. Abdul-Jabbar was also on hand.Entering the game,...

    NBA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar writes in Jacobin arguing that athletes like Kyrie Irving aren’t making a “personal choice” by refusing the COVID vaccine — they’re jeopardizing the public health of all through their platforms. =========================== I'm a huge fan of LeBron James, both as one of the greatest basketball players ever and as a humanitarian who cares about social injustice. I have written his praises many times in the past and undoubtedly will in the future. I admire him and have affection for him. But this time, LeBron is just plain wrong — and his being wrong could be deadly,...

    Basketball legend and longtime activist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar says NBA players who have refused to get vaccinated for COVID should be "disciplined." The NBA said the league can't mandate players to get vaccinated unless the players' union approves it. About 90% of NBA players have been vaccinated against COVID-19. In an interview on CNN, Abdul-Jabbar, who has been advocating for others to get the COVID vaccine, said the league should step in. "I think they should be disciplined," he said Monday. "I don't think they are behaving like good teammates or good citizens." Earlier Monday, Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving said...

  • US can kill its own citizens without review when state secrets are involved, DOJ lawyer argues

    ABA Journal ^ | 18 Nov 2020 | Debra Cassens Weiss
    A U.S. Department of Justice lawyer argued Monday that the United States can kill its own citizens without judicial review when litigation would reveal state secrets. The argument drew alarm among judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Courthouse News Service reports. Judge Patricia Millett characterized the DOJ’s argument as giving the government the ability to “unilaterally decide to kill U.S. citizens,” according to coverage of the argument by Courthouse News Service. “Do you appreciate how extraordinary that proposition is?” The government’s brief in the case supplies details of the lawsuit. The plaintiff, Bilal...

    Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is experiencing a very similar phenomenon shared among many during the coronavirus outbreak. That would be none other than sports withdrawal. Abdul-Jabbar, 72, shared his thoughts on going through the absence of sports. All major leagues in the United States have suspended operations. The NBA and NHL stopped their season with less than one-third of the season to go. MLB halted spring training and the hiatus has now extended into the original Opening Day date. Meanwhile, the NCAA canceled the annual March Madness national championship. The actor and author penned a column in The...

    Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem wanted revenge against people who drew Muhammad. He wanted to kill people who drew Muhammad. In the face of that, free people have two choices: they can draw Muhammad, thereby showing that they will not submit to violent intimidation, or they can refrain from drawing Muhammad, thereby showing that they can be bullied into submission. I am proud that I was at Garland and was, with Pamela Geller, one of the organizers and sponsors of the event. I will never submit to bullying, and as the late Charb of Charlie Hebdo said, I would rather die...

    Claiming optimism will be hard to come by for African Americans, former Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar asserts America can’t unify under Donald Trump as president because the “home of the free” will now embrace “the leadership of a racist.” Moreover, Jabbar worries not just for blacks but for “women, immigrants, Muslims, Jews, the LGBT community and others who now must walk through the streets of their country for the next four years in shame and fear.” Jabbar writes in the Washington Post, “Trump represents the last wisp of the rich white plantation owner holding on to the glories...

    Former US Attorney General Eric Holder is a huge fan of NBA hall of famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. So much so that Holder used Abdul-Jabbar's birth name, Lew Alcindor, as an alias for his official Department of Justice (DOJ) email account, raising more questions about the email practices of top Obama administration officials, and about the ability of US government agencies to track down correspondence in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

    While speaking to the nation during his Oval Office address Sunday night, President Barack Obama asked everyone to remember that 'Muslim Americans are our friends, neighbors and sports heroes'. Though the president failed to mention any specific athletes by name during his 13-minute address, President Obama's reference to Muslim-American sports heroes was a well-played remark. Americans must not take out their grievances with the fanatics on followers of Islam, he said. There have been a number of prominent athletes in some of America's most popular sports who were raised as Muslims or converted to Islam during the course of their...

    Time Magazine ^ | 6/11/2014 | Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
    Sports plays a role in perpetuating sexism and misogyny—and it can play a role in ending it. The most moving reading I’ve done in the last six months has come from the anguished tweets on #YesAllWomen that followed the Elliot Rodger shootings in Santa Barbara. Even more depressing than his horrific actions is the feeling that the national debates about cultural misogyny, mental health care, and gun control that followed have already lost momentum — shoved back into their dusty corner, awaiting the next bloody tragedy. Public outrage has a short half-life. Fist-shaking and finger-pointing quickly degenerates into helpless shrugging.

    SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. -- A child rapist who admitted to preying on nearly 20 children is now a free man. Kareem Merthe was released during a hearing in Seminole County Friday morning. His mother collapsed outside the courtroom and later died. Officials say his mother went outside to get some fresh air when she collapsed. The 26-year-old preacher's son had been locked up for nine years and as a young teen, Merthe admitted to preying on children as young as 4 years old. He told investigators he raped them at his father's church in Sanford. Kareem Merthe had nothing to...

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Authorities say the unusual behavior of a New York truck driver who was pulled over for speeding and then shot during a confrontation with a state trooper has prompted them to investigate possible terrorist ties. Mohammed Medhat Karim, 46, was pulled over Monday by Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Thomas C. Kilpatrick for speeding on U.S. Highway 64 in Wayne County, about 80 miles southwest of Nashville. As Kilpatrick was returning with the citation, authorities said Karim backed into the trooper's car, and "there was a confrontation at that time." Kilpatrick fired several shots, striking the driver...
