Former Los Angeles Lakers star player, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has returned home to Harlem with the purchase of a brownstone. One might think that residents would be thrilled to have a basketball great like Jabbar in the neighborhood, but it appears that he has gotten on the wrong side of fence with his new neighbors. Jabbar has been accused of dumping trash into the yard of one of his neighbors who in turn responded by dumping the trash onto his steps. Apparently one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, since a second neighbor did the neighborly thing by collecting the trash and taking it to his house where he is going to try to sell the size 17 sneakers, ID Card and championship game ticket on ebay.

My mother lives in that neighborhood and the person who complained is notorious for some foolishness. We will never know the real 411.

Yeah, I wouldn’t go messing around with Kareem. He might release some of the anti-Boston Celtic angst!

They complained, yet they went through the trash looking for Mementos.
Go Figure!
