#KareemAbdul-Jabbar again led the West team with 21 points with #PhilSmith of the #Warriors adding 20 points. #Portland players #SidneyWicks and #GregLee added 14 points total for the West, with Wicks hitting for 10. #JuliusErving led the East with 33 points. The reigning #ABA #MVP totaled 112 points in the three games. #PaulWestphal of the #PhoenixSuns and #RodDerline of the #SeattleSonics each added 20 more for the winning side. Two players with ties to #HawaiiMBB, #TomHenderson of the #AtlantaHawks and #BobNash of the #SanDiegoConquistadors, helped the East scoring 16 and 18 respectively. The local paper, the #HonoluluStarBulletin, referred to the game as the "Great Basketball Punch-out" after Abdul-Jabbar elbowed #TrailBlazers center #BillWalton in the right cheek after Walton had been riding the newly acquired #Lakers center as hard as he had the previous two games. Walton, who tallied 2 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 fouls, received the elbow with 3:33 remaining in the second quarter. #Blazers owner #LarryWeinberg, who was in attendance, accompanied Walton to a local hospital for X-rays as a precaution at halftime. #AbdulJabbar, who was not wearing his usual goggles, commented afterward he didn't think he needed to for an exhibition game. "I didn't think we would get into any serious physical game here," Abdul-Jabbar said as he revealed a cut lip which he received from the aggressive play by Walton.

“ #Trump wants to get rid of #DEI, And I think it’s just a ruse to discriminate. So I’m glad that we do things like this ( #JackieRobinsonDay), to let everybody in the country know what’s important. They also tried to get rid of Harriet Tubman. But that didn’t work.”

The only way we’re going to survive this madness is to take daily time outs from the outrage. That’s why I’m sharing this wonderful essay by the great #KareemAbdul-Jabbar that celebrates friendship, the family we choose, and healthy rivalry. Via #substack

Bill Walton was My Rival, My Brother, and My Close Friend
He had wanted to be more like me on the court‌ and I wanted to be more like him off the court.

November 29, 1970 - #LeRoyEllis records his second 20/20 game with the @trailblazers.bsky.social but the @themilwaukeebucks.bsky.social pulled off the win as #KareemAbdul-Jabbar scored 33 points in the win.

#RipCity #ThisDateinBlazersHistory
Ellis had the fourth 20/20 game in his 9-year career, finishing with 27 points and 25 rebounds today. He recorded his first one as a member of the @Lakers in 1964 and two while a member of the #BaltimoreBullets. Game Notes: For Ellis, the 25 rebounds is one off of his career-best of 26 rebounds that he gathered just over a month ago vs the @cavs. The rebound total still ranks as third highest in #Blazers History, as well as the most by a Blazer player vs the #Bucks.

When you query an LLM - give an "AI" a prompt, that is - it isn't reading what you said, understanding the question, and finding results for you. It's giving a response that an algorithm has determined fits the situation.

So, if you ask a LLM for "Sources on KareemAbdul-Jabbar..."
