Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Rips Kyrie Over Alex Jones Vid, Sponsors Should Drop Him

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar states Kyrie Irving has actually done something “more destructive, insensitive, and just plain silly” than his COVID-19 vax position … going off on the NBA super star for sharing a questionable Alex Jones video on social networks.

The Brooklyn Nets guard came under fire last month after reposting a 2002 clip of the “InfoWars” host ranting about a New World Order that would launch plagues into society for monetary gain … which included the caption “Alex Jones Tried To Warn Us.”

Irving’s Jones recommendation came weeks after the talking head said sorry in court for declaring the Sandy Hook shooting was a scam … so the timing was a bit odd to state the least.

Now, KAJ is weighing in on Irving’s actions … stating if it weren’t for young basketball fans, he’d be “dismissed as a comical buffoon.”

“Alex Jones is one of the most despicable human beings alive and to associate with him means you share his stench,” the Lakers legend stated on his website.

“When I look at some of the athletes who have used their status to actually improve society– Colin Kaepernick, LeBron James, Muhammad Ali, Bill Russel, Billie Jean King, Arthur Ashe, and more — it becomes clear how much Irving has tarnished the reputations of all athletes who strive to be seen as more than dumb jocks.”

Abdul-Jabbar states individuals should not simply belittle Irving — there ought to be action — and he desires those annoyed to compose to the All-Star’s sponsors to require they cut ties with him.

“Irving does not seem to have the capacity to change, but we have the capacity to keep fighting against his brand of destructive behavior.”

FYI — Irving’s handle Nike is more than likely up after this season, however KAJ explains he still has handle Pepsi and 2K Sports.
