CNBC— The NBA's all-time leading scorer had some harsh words about Republican nominee Donald Trump's views and ideas pertaining Muslims on Thursday night.
"Donald Trump's idea to register Muslims and prevent them from entering our country is the very tyranny [Thomas] Jefferson abhorred," Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said at the Democratic National Convention
Not letting a foreign citizen from a dangerous country come to your country is not tyranny. Tyranny is shooting up a gay night club. It’s driving a truck through a crowd of people. It’s knifing a priest during church. It’s blowing yourself up at a bar. Tyranny is ISIS. ISIS is.....?
Maybe Kareem should focus on how he personally treats other people:
"Thank God Kareem was my teammate, because I used to cringe at the way he treated people….Sometimes he’d have people in tears. It’s hurt him now that he’s done playing.” - Magic Johnson.
