LeBron James is wrong
The problem of not vaccinating among the basketball elite in the NBA is growing. All this got a new chapter after LeBron James, arguably the league’s biggest star said he had no intention of being any vaccination ambassador and that it wasn’t his job to persuade others to do so. The legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also blamed him for that.
In that statement, LeBron James said that is not his job to advocate for the vaccine and encourage vaccination. This is not a question of racism or anything like that. He can just say his judgment. Here we are talking about something that people put into their body and he can’t tell someone to make something. He vaccinated for himself and his family.
Enes Kanter, a Turkish basketball player and member of the Boston Celtics, has criticized him for these words before, but now he has come across a much better-known dissident. Jabbar, the NBA league record holder and one of its most recognizable faces, warned James of his words. He is a big fan of LeBron James, one of the best basketball players of all time, and as a humanitarian who cares about social injustice. But he thinks that now he’s wrong, and his mistake can be deadly. Specifically in the black community.
