Kareem sky-hooks pregnant employee's job

Too bad Bruce Lee isn't around to give Kareem Abdul-Jabbar another lesson in manners like he did in the only real Bruce Lee footage in 'Game of Death'. Maybe Jet Li is available instead.
Or maybe the case against the center formerly known as Lew Alcindor just looks really weird. Like money-grab weird. TMZ.com has all the celebrity weirdness...
In an unusual twist, the employee (Broda's daughter) is not the one suing. Instead, Diana Broda claims she worked for a law firm that represented Abdul-Jabbar. Broda says she contacted Jabbar and his company Ain Jeem and threatened to file suit when her daughter was fired. Broda says Kareem and Ain Jeem then went on the attack, contacting the law firm where she worked, which promptly fired her.So the pregnant daughter got fired by Kareem, and Mom, who worked at the law firm that had Kareem as a client, called Kareem and his company and threatened to sue them for wrongfully terminating the daughter, and he supposedly called the law firm and complained about the Mom complaining, and then Mom got fired.
And now she wants money. I understand that, but shouldn't we think of the children here? What's their cut of the action going to be if Kareem settles, um, whatever this case is, with Mom Broda?
