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 Hollywood Reporter about what he’s doing to cope during his self-isolation time with sports.

Welcome to my world!
Maybe he should watch “Airplane!”
Very easy for me. No more kneeling. Problem solved. Good riddance.

Try reading a book, ya big dope!
Go paint a ceiling, or 2nd story house, Lew,
... yeah, AND HE DISLIKES TRUMP!

How stupid.
Well he can continue being a racist loser without a life.
I enjoy the olympics but would easily do / enjoy something else wothout it. Otherwise i could not care less about sports.
So sick of these @ssholes.
Has he watched the Tiger King yet?
I agree with him that Hoosiers is an epic movie, though. Gene Hackman is fantastic.
