Michael Beasley Says LeBron Will Still Have Haters After Breaking Kareem’s Record

LeBron James breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar‘s scoring record will not silence his critics, so says his previous colleague Michael Beasley … informing TMZ Sports, “they gon’ keep hating.”

Remember, James is just a few points far from ending up being the NBA’s all-time scoring leader — a record that Kareem has actually held for nearly 4 years.

You would believe with such an achievement, the ones who question King James would happen … however Beasley says that will not occur, even when he’s crowned.

“They gon’ keep hating,” the previous NBA power forward informs us at LAX today.

“It’s a good percentage of the world that just wanna go against the grain. That’s literally what we get. We get the ones who wanna go against the grain.”

Beasley — who had fun with LBJ in Miami and Los Angeles — says James should have regard from the skeptics … and they have no option however to provide him his flowers after this task.

“He earned it,” MB says, “You can’t really say too much after that, you know. He the best.”

BTW … Beasley says he would not mind playing along with LeBron once again, informing us he’d be down to sign back with the Lakers.
