Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Drops Ultimate Flex While Throwing Shade at Three-Point Shooters

Kareem always speaks his mind.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar went on the “Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” this week, where he reminded everyone watching that he still holds the all time scoring record.

This came after the late night host asked the 6-time NBA champion how the game has changed since his time in the league in the 70s and 80s. Abdul-Jabbar responding saying how the game is much different from when he played, and of course he’s not too pleased with how basketball is played today.

“Not like that, there were good three point shooters, back then you might get ten three point shots in a game, now there are 10 three point shots in a quarter. It seems like today it’s a three-point shooting contest.”

Kareem scored 38,387 points during his illustrious career with the Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks. The living legend currently holds a 1,000 point cushion on the second all time leading scorer and fellow member of the Lakers organization LeBron James.

At some point LeBron will break his record but for now he can brag all he wants.
