As I watch the NBA playoffs, I listen to everyone gloat over LBJ and Kobe ,and rightfully so,but this mess about whose the better closer,the media needs to give me a break.We know about Jordan already,but there is a center who played 20 years in the league who led the league in scoring countless times,who was automatic in paint on offense,who averaged at least 25 a game for lets say a dozen years, and played good defense,by the way he has 6 NBA titles too.His name is Kareem Abdul Jabbar who is treated by Basketball Critics like he's Greg Kite.All Jabbar did is go to work everyday for 20 years and dominate you for 19 of them.He won numerous games for the Lakers with his Sky hook and timely foul shooting.Why is this man treated like Granville Waiters,maybe because Kareem wasn't a good quote ,or wasn't flashy but there's only a 1 other player in the history of the game who dominated you every night for 19 years ,the other is Karl Malone.Karl was great but he's not in the same building as Kareem Abdul Jabbar,for those who haven't had the luxury to see him play,Kareem was like a video game ,he scored at will ,had freakish stamina ,but he is never mentioned as one of the greatest players,of all time,now we have Kobe and Lebron,and its like Kareem never existed,as far as closer Kareem has 6 championship rings and was a dominating force for 19 years which is unheard of today.Can we stop treating Jabbar like Joe Barry Carrol,and mention him in some of these basketball discussions,when were talking about greatness on the hard court.For those real yungans look up his stats,and you will see what I am talking about.
