Kareem on Kyrie Irving: There's little hope he'll change, he's insulated by fame and yes-people
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Honestly, there’s little hope that [Kyrie Irving] will change because he’s insulated by fame and money and surrounded by yes-people. There is no motivation to learn how to distinguish propaganda from facts. All that’s left is for the world to decide how it should respond to him.
