When I was a kid in the late 1960s I listened to Braves games on a small transistor radio. Hank was my hero. I drew pictures of him and my dad mailed them to the Braves home office. One day I got a letter in the mail. Hank sent me a 1969 batting photo with a note on the back. It reads ‘Thanks for the pictures Ken. Best wishes, Hank Aaron”. I still have it and am reminded of this remarkable man, a humble superstar, who took the time to write to a small town kid who looked up to him. God bless you, Hank Aaron.

The GOAT in basketball talking about the GOAT in baseball , as far as I’m concerned. These two men are so similar -they both did so much of their talking on the field and court and unapologetically stood for what they believed in.

A legend speaking about a legend...

One all time great talking about another all time great.

Hank Aaron is an astounding figure in American history. Amazingly, he accomplished more off the field than on! The way he treated people even though he was a rockstar was amazingly cool! Rest in peace Hank from Patrick

God bless your soul Hank Aaron. You are deeply missed.

You know your a true legend and icon when Kareem shows up.

Kareem is pure class as was the late great Hank Aaron!

Greatest of all . A gentleman on and off the field. Pride of the U.S.A.

I love hearing Kareem talk, just about anything, especially sports but really everything, even if I disagree with him, just how he talks makes me want to listen, learn, and again even if I disagree I would still love to hear and talk to the man.

KAJ giving major props to HA. Two GOATs.

Hello MLB Network, great video and honoring the great HOF and HR king, Hank Aaron. RIP Mr. 44. 😔🙏

This was so cool. I love seeing atheltes from other sports talk about baseball players. Kareem is a legend talking about another legend.

Love me some kareem, and he's a dogers fan too, he's hilarious

My all time hero of basketball talking about my all time hero of baseball. How lucky are we? God bless you both.

Kareem such a legend in so many ways. And Brian asks the right questions (starting with acknowledging him first as an activist) - great journalism.

Much Respect to these Brothers!

Kareem was an amazing player and hands-down my favorite player. Such a beast.

Hank Aaron was a real Mlb . Like our Roberto Clemente was Rip ⚾ 🌹

Kareem is a great person . It's nice to hear him talk about another great and a different sport.

A universal treasure. We are grateful for his time with, be it on the baseball field and in our hearts.

A great athlete talking about another great athlete.

Huge fan of both these legends

The one and only HR Champ. Kept his head up and persevered through some of the darkest times, a real man and gentleman. NOTHING like today’s athlete’s. RIP Hammering Hank🙏🏻

...another idol of mine. Kareem#33

Lew Alcindor.....one of my favorite human beings.

Hank Aron spoke softly, and carried A Big stick. He let his Bat do the talking. He was A great baseball player, and person.

Rip Hank

That night I was watching tv with my dad when the game interrupted local broadcasting to show his at bats that night. It was magical, especially since it happened against the Dodgers.

Hank will missed!!!!

The sky hook the greatest shot ever

The only legitimate HR KING. Best in rbi s, hrs and total bases. DId things the right way with class and without a self seeking identity, Overcame many barriers. Was my Hero growing up as a Dodger fan. Deserving of ultimate respect. RIP Hammering Hank.

As a white boy from the South at the time, I was rooting for him all the way. He had class! There are always going to be people being ugly no matter what's up for grabs. Thousands of people of every stripe cheered when 715 went sailing over the fence.

1:19 What a shame that the ignorance of so many took away from him being able to enjoy breaking the most popular record in Sports (at the time), and it’s even more shameful that we’re still having to deal with people with that same ignorant mindest today. Rest In Peace to a Legend, Henry Aaron

One legend talking about another Both are top 10 players in the history of the game

Poor Hank. The true home run king. I hope Barry Bonds is proud of himself.

Hank, a " Gentlemans Gentleman "

All my heroes are pretty much gone. There's only one left...Say Hey. Willie, please be careful. Stay warm!

Hank was much older but their careers intersected for well over 5 years.

If Aaron had played his entire career in the giant media market of NYC there would have been a famous folk song written about him. He had a better career than Mantle, better than DiMaggio. If you take away all of the home runs he hit, he would still have over 3,000 hits. Arguably the greatest baseball career in history.

Barry bonds only has a few more Home runs than Hank. Hank has 900 more hits than bonds. Bonds has 200 less RBIs than Hank. MLB goat conversation is over. Hank>Barry

Rip

Sky Hook King speaking about HR King

100% natural, no additives

Kareem loves baseball and Brooklyn LA Dodgers ...unfortunately baseball is not as popular as it used to be . They do not make hank Aarons anymore

Haha Kareem saying he didn’t want to be rude, he is notoriously mean and rude to fans..

RIP ⚾️ Hammerin Hank ⚾️ The early years when Black People Love Baseball and Broke Records.... He did not need Steriods, HGH, or PED! The Home Run King, RBI King, and Hits King 👑 whom Excell at 21 Seasons both Offense and Defense should have won more MVP's! Here you have Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds, and Alex Rodriguez all used Steriods and Have More MVP's than him. Hammered Hank fight Civil Rights in the 60's and 70's. Sadly, still the same.

Kareem says that Aaron Rodgers really hurt pro sports but I think pro sports has been skank way before Rodgers was on the professional sports scene. Kareem seems to me to be a pampered athlete who loves to hold a grudge and be very sullen!

Hank Aaron is the true home run king, but not the best home run hitter ! 1-: Babe Ruth - hmr per at bats 2- Harmon Killebrew

Who downvoted this??

"Being such a great representation of his people" ???!! Really? What era are you from, with this, 'his people'?

Hank and Larry King back to back days☹️

Media personalities and their crocodile tears, why are the leaving out the fact that he dies 18 days after receiving Moderna vaccine. He wanted to inspire black people to take the jab

6-time mvp? How about all time NBA scoring leader. They're always trying to hide that about Kareem for some reason and desperately trying to prop LeBron up until he can bump Kareem

He just got a covid shot🤔

How come people are not talking about how Hank took the vaccine and now he's dead two weeks later?

Kareem breaking wilts drecird wasnt like hank breaking ruths. Kareem you and wilt are both black. Its a difference kareem, love ya but ifs a big difference

RIP the HAMMER. But let's keep it real, he died two weeks after taking the 💉. Tic toc, Kareem tic toc.

Didnt he just get the covid vaccine......
