Kareem was an iconic basketball player. This means he was one of the best people in the world at putting a round ball through a round hoop back in the day. He was rewarded for this, this is good.
If he wants to talk about basketball or sticking it to the Celtics back in the day, I'm all ears.
If the topic is life advice or his views on society, it's a free country and he's entitled to his opinion. Personally however, after reading his hyperbolic rambles he now seems a biscuit away from being a professional victim.
I've always wondered how being a great athlete or actor qualifies you as an expert outside your field?
