Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on Bruce Lee

[@mymagicisntgivingup5908]

It’s amazing that two legends from different sports, spar, and training.

[@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

Today these smart young People can't take from bonafide experts in their field of profession. 🤣🤣🤣 See the difference?

[@yehor_ivanov]

Wilt and Arnie also coming to my mind here, 4s)

[@fornlike]

Right!

[@johnnyv.5142]

Bruce Lee and Kareem were the GOAT in their professions!

[@dana.j9062]

Kareem with that Fro in that Bruce Lee movie was very stylish and his performance was amazing!

[@September2004]

That shot of him with the beard and the shades looking straight at the camera… perfect.

[@alanfitzpatrick5142]

Bruce Lee without a doubt is the most imfluencial martial artists of all time even to this Day nobody even comes close to him 1973 at the age of 32 it's incredible his influence still legendary ❤ he's without the goat 🐐

[@erikjansen8597]

Seeing Kareem's footprint on Bruce's yellow jumpsuit throughout the latter part of The Game of Death has always cracked me up.

[@itsjhitnotjit6292]

Big ah feet

[@mig1017]

Kareems a living legend. Love his humility. He mentioned in an interview that he had more problems sparring Bruce, than Bruce sparring Kareem. Would love to have seen them sparring. That would have been a sight to behold.

[@ctsuhako1]

Now that was a story!

[@johnthomasjr.7748]

Yes the fight scene between Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that was a great confrontation.

[@stefannafets7828]

I have no words for this. Bruce vs. Chuck is incredible. But Bruce vs. Kareem IS Out of this World. So great to See that there are people that can Talk about their time with Bruce. You cant pay this with Money. Its timeless. Btw - Take a Look at Jason McKinney. No Retreat, No surrender IS a heartwarming Tribute. I Love it. All the best from Germany !!!

[@djoneforever]

Bruce Lee Forever ❤

[@coachhbosoccer]

I saw game of death many times as a kid but never watched basketball .I have even seen the making of the movie, back in Africa. When I got into basketball and understood who Kareem was, I had immense respect for him

[@robertk2007]

There has never been or will ever be a more intellectual athlete than Kareem

[@fornlike]

Very important story about Bruce Lee.

[@RRay-fo6jg]

Please let's hear more of this interview Jabber told Kobe Bryant that Bruce was so fast he could never touch him when he swung or kicked at Bruce Lee

[@davec484]

Jabber pusher.

[@ah2552]

Kobe found a.Jeet Kune Do instructor and began learning and became friends with Shannon Lee, Bruce's daughter.

[@cmass1362]

Great interview the kareem. Its is awesome seeing the "hated" Lakers on this podcast. Thank you Byron. From a true green Celtics fan.

[@master-kq3nw]

lakers showtime fantastic team 1980-1991

[@shaquiala.3488]

Omg. I'm watching "game of death 1978", Bruce fighting abdul jabar......classic movie....

[@yianhinsaechao7898]

He looking amazing for his age......aging very well!!!!! still looking the same after 40 years.....

[@jamesbond4633]

THat's funny Bruce's wife could kick that hard. I can just imagine what Bruce could do. Even Steven Segal says that Bruce Lee had the fastest and hardest side kick he ever saw. Two special athletes...Kareem and Bruce.

[@Untrus]

Yes Steven segal the aikido, marine, cia spy master

[@guitarttimman]

Nobody could have beat Kareem in a fight. That dude is huge. lol

[@screenapple1660]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar should write book about my life with Master Bruce Lee. Kids need to know what happened over there. how bruce lee become Star Wars master Yoda.

[@lundoren5240]

2:20 I don’t know if I can believe that. 🤣 that’s insane

[@LG0006]

It sounds crazy but kareem has said this in so many interviews lol. He’s telling the truth

[@ah2552]

Yes, he learned that day what he was learning before he was generating any power. He saw a 125 lb woman who had .ore power in her kicks that he couldn't come close to at that time. He was sold on Bruce seeing what his wife could do. It would make .ore of an impact seeing Linda do this than someone like Bruce because you would expect it from him since he was the teacher/master.

[@lundoren5240]

@@ah2552 125 5’ woman kicking Kareem who 300 holding a heavy bag sending him flying? Not even pro fighters do that with their trainer holding the bag bro it’s not possible.

[@hansmeyer8926]

well bruce lee and kobe bryant had the best mentality. bruce lee worked harder than anyone else..kobe worked harder than anyone else...pretty much the same motivation to be the best

[@thsu8]

I realized this a year ago. There have been many tough athletes in history. Sugar Ray Robinson, Jerry Rice, Michael Jordan, and Novak Djokovic come to mind. But the only guy who might have been tougher than Kobe was Bruce Lee.

[@riz040]

That scene starts great Kareem kicks him and there’s a huge footprint on his chest classic!

[@countdrago1544]

It's pretty impressive that Bruce's wife Linda could move a world class professional athlete.

[@alexchen5811]

Awesome interview! How did Bruce Lee fare in sparring? Was he a good fighter?

[@ehrenthompson7891]

Kareem said Bruce was the real deal.

[@jugglingbeast]

"We have clearance Clarence"

[@PaulBaksy]

This was the first fight as a young man that i thought was special effects,the size of this man

[@nicolebailey4426]

I am happy for your courageous battle against leukemia.

[@wnerko7484]

Huge Bruce Lee nerd here.im wondering if Bruce and Kareem ever played basketball?????

[@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

ANYTHING a KAJ of this World wants to instruct in: it behooves the student to listen

[@brandonmattox4815]

Kareem remember it's Brandon remember telling me you kareem are is royalty?

[@RRay-fo6jg]

Jabber has a picture of the rat pack with Dean Martin behind him

[@Purlypurlington]

Could show him from the chin up and still see his legs

[@morriskode]

Kareem could've pulled up with his teammate

[@chachiarcola3208]

Kareem was humble, respectful, and kind whenever he spoke about Bruce Lee. He always emphasized how much Lee taught him. I do think however in a real fight, Kareem would have destroyed Lee.
