http://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/kareem-abdul-jabbar-endorses-hillary-clinton-222053For Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, voting for Hillary Clinton in November is a slam dunk. Or perhaps a sky hook.
In a column for The Washington Post published online Saturday, Abdul-Jabbar the NBAs all-time leading scorer says Americans have a choice "between hell and reason.
We are in a defining battle between the resurgence of the irrational, and all the horrors that have historically gone with it violence, bigotry, fascism and reason, with all the advances that have accompanied it justice and freedom for all, regardless of ethnic background, social status, gender or sexual orientation, he writes.
Abdul-Jabbar said that Clinton possesses that rare but crucial combination of idealism and pragmatism.
Of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, Abdul-Jabbar said the leading Republican candidates have rejected foundational ideals in favor of a hellish chaos of lies, misdirection, attacks on the Constitution and, most harmful to the country, a rejection of reason."

When it gets to the convention California delegates are going to count as much as Iowa.
