“Joe Rogan Had to Apologize for Spreading the Same Lie”: Lakers Icon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Calls Out Deceiving Ex-Athlete

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar was known for his fierceness on the court. The six-time NBA champ took the record books to the next level by becoming the highest scorer in league history. Moreover, Kareem has always spoken out against social injustices since his days in the NBA. However, in the past few years, the Lakers legend has taken on a more active role in sharing his opinions on burning issues. Recently, Abdul-Jabbar called out a deceiving former athlete with a Joe Rogan reference.

Former NFL legend and coach Tony Dungy came under scrutiny after he shared a tweet that seemed to support an urban myth about the Transgender community. Moreover, the Lakers legend was quick to respond to the controversy as he shared his take on the recent tweet by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar lashes out at Tony Dungy

Tony Dungy received a lot of criticism on Wednesday for sharing a controversial tweet directed towards the Transgender community after a tweeted video from The Daily Wire. The video featured one of the Minnesota House of Representatives talking about the installation of menstrual products in men’s restrooms to make life easier for transgender men.

In response to the video, Dungy made a comment that drew a great deal of heat from critics. Recently, Kareem Adbul-Jabbar used a Joe Rogan reference to take a dig at the former Indianapolis Colts coach.

In his recent update on Kareem Substack, the 19-time All-Star wrote, “Remember months ago when Joe Rogan had to apologize for spreading this same lie? That means Dungy is either deliberately lying or doesn’t bother with facts when forming opinions. Of course, his ill-informed comment merely perpetuates the stereotype of athletes and coaches as dumb, arrogant jocks.”
