While LeBron James is the target of many attacks, he has never really expressed his hatred towards another player or a league legend. But this Monday, when he was asked about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the King made a chilling statement that reflects great tension.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is one of the great living legends of the NBA microcosm, and despite his age, he continues to get involved in the debates with many inflammatory statements on his site. In recent days, for example, he has targeted Anthony Edwards following his homophobic remarksthen Kyrie Irving, whom he considers to be a very bad role model for young people.
And among his favorite targets, we obviously find LeBron James, enemy of many Hall of Famers. He knows that the King will exceed his record this season and become the all-time leading scorer, something he finds difficult to accept. In particular, he explained why, in his view, his 38.387 points scored will always have more value than those of the Lakers superstar.

This historic brand should captivate fans for many weeks, and all enthusiasts will be in front of their screens to witness this transfer of power. After his first preseason game, LeBron was asked about it, and his response was chilling. He wasn’t just pissed off at his poor performancehe wanted to send a message to the legend:

Journalist : LeBron, you will have the opportunity to overtake Kareem Abdul-Jabbar this season, what do you think? And do you have a relationship with him?
LeBron James : No. I don’t think so, and I have no relationship with him.
LeBron James was not very playful at the idea of talking about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, it was felt in his chilling tone when discussing his future record. He also took the trouble to confirm that he had no relationship with the Lakers legend, proof that the tension between the two is still immense. As a reminder, it all started with a celebration of the King deemed unworthy by the legendary pivot. This rivalry has given internet users ideas:
I hope Bron does the big balls celebration when he passes kareem

Hope LeBron does the ‘big balls’ celebration when he passes Kareem
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was very hard on LeBron James last season, and the King still has it in his throat. He will have absolutely no remorse at breaking his record, and given his tone, he is unlikely to share this moment with the legend of the Lakers…
