Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is opening up on his relationship -- or lack, thereof -- with LeBron James ... admitting he didn't make much of an effort to be a mentor for the Lakers superstar due to their age difference.essay to explain where he stands with the guy who dethroned him at the top of the all-time scoring list ... and aside from a"couple minor jabs" over his COVID-19 vaccine stance, the Captain says he has had high praise for the King over the course of his career.
But when it comes to being buddies with 38-year-old Bron, Abdul-Jabbar says James was right in saying they had"no relationship" back in October ... and he's taking responsibility. "LeBron said we don’t have a relationship," KAJ said."He’s right -- and for that I blame myself. Not for anything I did, but perhaps for not making more of an effort to reach out to him."
"I think the main reason that I never formed a bond with LeBron is simply our age difference," he continued."I established my scoring record in 1984 -- the year LeBron was born. When he started to make a name for himself, I was already pretty removed from the NBA world. Except for certain gala events, I was just like any other fan, watching games on my TV in my sweatpants while munching on too many unhealthy snacks.
