Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Not Mad LeBron Broke Record, LAL Legend James Worthy Says

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was NOT pissed off LeBron James broke his all-time scoring record, regardless of what lots of basketball fans have actually stated, according to Cap’s buddy, colleague, and fellow Lakers fantastic James Worthy, who informs TMZ Sports his friend managed the scenario with grace.

Of course, 38-year-old James fell KAJ’s near-long-held record (almost 4 years) … and 75-year-old Abdul-Jabbar was on hand, being in the very first row, to enjoy history in the making.

However, lots of NBA fans discussed Kareem’s behavior, keeping in mind the 19x NBA All-Star looked dissatisfied to be there.

So, we asked Worthy, a 3x NBA champ who was sitting with Abdul-Jabbar Wednesday night, if Kareem was troubled Bron broke his record.

“Not at all,” James responded to, without any doubt.

“I mean, Kareem was overwhelmed and for those of you who knew Kareem 30 years ago, Kareem has come full circle in life and really is enjoying himself and enjoying just living. I mean, he said that records were meant to be broken. I don’t think he thought anybody would break it but I think Kareem handed it over with grace.”

Now, when it comes to Worthy … he confesses, as much as he likes LeBron, that he was a bit bummed to see the record modification hands.

“I was a little sad to see the record being broken ’cause I just love Kareem. He’s my best friend on the team. I’m sure somewhere down deep in his heart, he’s had it for so long that it becomes a part of you that you never think it’s gonna leave you. Not to be able to say that again, it’s probably something that he’ll miss, but his body of work will never be forgotten.”
