Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain’s beef was the result of two GOATS vying for one pedestal

You'd think with so much in common, (height, both like same sport, both worked for Lakers) Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul Jabbar would be the best of friends. But something about being constantly compared to each other, having differing political views, and one guy getting more love from fans, press, and the league can apparently sour a relationship quite badly. Enjoy this aged, vintage NBA beef!
