What have I been doing since retiring from the NBA in 1989? I’ve done some coaching for the Lakers and others. I travelled around the world as the Global Cultural Ambassador for the U.S. I’ve acted on a bunch of TV shows, including Big Bang Theory, iZombie
Thanks for sharing your brilliant voice with us in this forum. Teaching my basketball obsessed daughter about the history of the sport has led her to learn about race, religion and humanity through your journey. Keep writing and inspiring!
I have only recently subscribed. I am awaiting to hear your thoughts on many things, across many fields of endeavor. I am wondering if you will be engaging us with your view on the HBO series "Winning"? I'm predisposed to be highly skeptical of the genre in general, as while series such as "Winning" purport to be "based on truth" my guess is that a lot of truth is edited out. Thanks for being such a Mensch.
With all due respect, and I have a great deal for you, for you to interfere with the medical decisions of another person is unethical and wrong. You have no idea why they may not want a vaccine and in light of the fact that this vaccine has killed over 12,000 in the US alone, and injured tens of thousands more, no human being has the right to insist another risk suicide by injection. No since Nazi Germany has a government been allowed to force an experimental medical procedure onto a population and the Nuremberg Code should have fortified the rule that it would never happen again. I encourage you to watch this video on actual harm from this vaccine then rethink your position. Best always. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvLHY92tcfA&t=1580s
giving a YouTube post as a resource for an important medical and moral decision doesn't impress me. I know the level of thought given to this reply by the factual misrepresentations used , the easiest to see is the statement that this vaccine is experimental, when it is FDA approved. I won't even bother with the Nazi comparison, the comparison is an insult to reason. Some unhappy people let political allegiances run their lives instead of thinking for themselves or their civic responsibilities in a time of upset.
All of the vaccines are still operating under an emergency use authorization, the only upcoming exception is the Pfizer, under the name comirty, which is not yet available - look it up since you don't care for my searches. The Nazi comparison is in direct comparison to the Nuremberg Code, which forbids any medical procedure given against the will of the patient - and that is exactly what this coercive action is. This has nothing to do with political allegiance and if you watched the documentary you would see that. As for thinking for myself - who is in the minority on this? Not those who are pushing the vaccine.
@Kareem, you are a very special person. There are not many athletes who are also an intellectuals. I admire your that you use your publicity to talk and spread knowledge among people no matter popularity of such opinions (I personally agree with most of it). I know it ain't much but I believe it is important that people will get such feedback no matter how famous they are or how insignificant such one feedback. Thank you.
how pathetic. Multi-million-dollar athlete begging for money "To sustain this community, I’ll need an assist from you. You can join my team by becoming a paid subscriber ($5 per month or $50 per year). "
You have been my basketball hero for many, many years. I was lucky enough to get 2 of your books and sent 2 to my brother also. He was the reason I got interested in basketball in the first place, and would take me to a Lakers game for my birthday when I was young. ( Against the Pistons as we are from Michigan). Thank you for being a positive influence in my life. And thank you for maintaining an intelligent conversation regarding discrimination. Nancy

Good government is boring government. I get so tired of the headline-hugging, flatliners.

Rumor has it that you suck michael Obama’s dick while you let dogs lick your vagina...is there any truth to that?
With regard to the incorrect claim of 12000 deaths from the COVID vaccine, please see https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-vaers-12000-idUSL1N2P21DB

This is fantastic, because the world has enough garbage written into existence--and people know when they're reading authenticity.
To one of my favorite players, the sky is the limit but you are already there . Much Love from one of your greatest fans.
