Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Calls Out Kyrie Irving For Behavior
One of the most polarizing figures in the NBA, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is no stranger to criticism. Consistently criticized for his lack of availability the last several seasons, Irving has been at the forefront of numerous NBA debates. While the Nets are hopeful that Irving can remain committed to basketball this season, the star point guard seems to regularly find himself in the middle of controversy.
In a recent Tweet, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the latest to chime in on this, urging Kyrie Irving to reconsider his behavior:
Highlighting the young people who look up to Irving, and athletes in general, Kareem urged the star point guard to reconsider the way he behaves. Using a picture or Irving flipping off the Boston Celtics crowd, Kareem seemed to suggest that Irving has been a poor role model to the youth.
This is not the first time that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has publicly criticized Kyrie Irving, as the NBA legend called him out for his refusal to get vaccinated in September of 2021. Always outspoken about current NBA matters, Kareem has now used his voice on multiple occasions to take exception with Kyrie Irving.
One of the most respected figures in NBA history, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar definitely has an impact. It is currently unknown how Kyrie Irving feels about his recent comments, or if he has even seen them, but it would not be surprising if the star guard is asked about this criticism some time in the near future.
