<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">New neighbors of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were crying foul yesterday after the NBA great apparently dumped a huge pile of trash - complete with a pair of old size-17 sneakers - in the front yard of a home next-door to his Harlem brownstone. "It would not matter if it was the Queen of England," raged neighbor Gisele Allard, 58. "Most people are not abusive like that." The sneakers, a Los Angeles Lakers ID card and a front row ticket for last spring's NCAA basketball championship game were buried amid the pile of flattened boxes dumped in Allard's front yard. There was also a Dear Kareem postcard from a masseuse, a blow gun and an empty cardboard box for a martial arts kendo sword. Allard arrived at the Mount Morris home yesterday morning to find the pile as high as Abdul-Jabbar's imposing 7-foot-2 frame that once terrorized opposing hoopsters. After ringing the bell and getting no answer, she started tossing the discarded stuff back onto his steps. "I don't think this is a nice way to arrive in the neighborhood," said Allard, who is renovating her townhouse. "What if this had burned last night?" Abdul-Jabbar, 59, who grew up on Dyckman St., spent all day Saturday moving in to the stately brownstone overlooking Mount Morris Park. Cheers turned to jeers when neighbors spotted the pile of boxes unceremoniously dumped in the yard of Allard's home, the doors of which are boarded up. "In my opinion, this is not how you come into a neighborhood," said Michael Jones, 44, who has lived on the block for two decades. "When you have that kind of money that shouldn't happen." Neighbor William Stratford agreed that Abdul-Jabbar shouldn't have dumped on his neighbor, but tried to cool tempers by retying the boxes and moving them down to his place a few doors down. He also grabbed the oversize kicks, which he plans to ask Kareem to autograph - and maybe sell on eBay.</div> Source

I think if I find size 17 shoes on my lawn, I would quite confused. It's probably worth a good amount on ebay to the guy who picked them up. I bet he isn't complaining too much.
I don't think it was garbage he was throwing, I think he was givin away free **** lol. Old sneakers, Lakers ID card!?!? and they call that garbage, I call it a years salary on Ebay.

I just don't like him as a person, I heard he is a very rude individual as well, but yeah, no one can deny what he did for the Laker organization and the nba.
