Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Delivers Serious Message to LeBron James For Recent Instagram Post
NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would love to see everyone get the COVID-19 jab. He will never understand those who say “no” to jabs. Some NBA players opposed jab mandates and Abdul-Jabbar blasted them all. According to him, unvaccinated people are irresponsible individuals who expose themselves and the loved one to the deadly virus. Great Kareem didn’t think twice before delivering his message for LeBron James.
The four-time NBA champion took to his Instagram account to share a photo of three cartoon Spider-Men pointing at each other. Their names were “covid,” “cold,” and “flu.”
Kareem praised LeBron, calling him one of the greatest basketball players ever. However, he shredded the king of basketballs saying that he is destroying his own legacy.
“LeBron James is not only one of the greatest basketball players ever, he’s committed to being a leader in the African American community in the fight against inequality,” Abdul-Jabbar wrote. “But his Thursday Instagram meme showing three cartoon Spider-Men pointing at each other—one labeled covid,’ one labeled ‘flu,’ one labeled ‘cold—with his message: ‘Help me out folks’ was a blow to his worthy legacy.”

Kareem delivers a message for LeBron, attracts the attention of the media
The NBA icon already criticized LeBron for being too quiet about COVID vaccines. He hoped that LeBron will use his platform to motivate people to get their jab.
Kareem doubled down on his take.
“While LeBron is a necessary and dynamic voice critical of police brutality against the Black community, he needs to be the same necessary and dynamic advocate with vaccines, which could save thousands of Black lives right now. The racism is just as real—and just as lethal—in both cases.”
LeBron is one of the most vocal athletes in the NBA. He always stands for the less fortunate. Fans follow his example and we have a good reason to believe that he plans his moves with caution. LeBron may not bother responding to these comments. He never does. The king is focused on his game. His team has lost too many games so far.
