Abdul-Jabbar spotted alone

A fan spotted Kareem Abdul-Jabbar walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 20, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Kareem back on the market?

A rep for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the basketball player was splitting hit the internet Saturday (March 21), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Kareem’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Abdul-Jabbar spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
