Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Calls Out LeBron Over for ‘Big Balls’ Celebration

LeBron James just can’t win.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar celebrated a recent three point shot over Myles Turner with the “big balls” dance, which earned LeBron a $15,000 fine.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was not a big fan of LeBron’s celebrations, and called out LeBron for that celebration, saying it’s beneath him.

“For me, winning is enough. Why do you need to do a stupid, childish dance and disrespect the other team on the court? It doesn’t make sense. GOATs don’t dance.”

Kareem clearly knows how to craft a statement that will go viral.

This didn’t feel very organic, more like a planned attack on LeBron.

Maybe Kareem is jealous he’s not in the GOAT conversation? Usually I’m all for this kind of LeBron slander, but this time it just feels phony.
