Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar claims James should be “embarrassed” over some of his actions and says it’s hard to trust what James does and says, at times.

Over the weekend Abdul-Jabbar again publicly criticised James stating that he does not think that James is using his public platform effectively enough on social justice issues.
