Kareem Abdul-Jabbar believes LeBron James tarnished his legacy by sharing a COVID-19 meme on Instagram.
, titled, “Dear LeBron: Here’s the COVID-19 Help You Requested in Your Spider-Man Meme.”
Two days prior, James shared the aforementioned meme that showed three Spiderman characters pointing at each other, labeled, “COVID,” “Flu” and “Cold.”Abdul-Jabbar described the meme as “uninformed,” and said, “LeBron has encouraged vaccine hesitancy which puts lives and livelihoods at risk.” Abdul-Jabbar wrote, “With his message: ‘Help me out folks’ was a blow to his worthy legacy. The meme’s implication is that LeBron doesn’t understand the difference among these three illnesses, even after all the information that’s been presented in the press.
James, who has said he is vaccinated against COVID-19, has not yet responded to Abdul-Jabbar’s latest message.“that’s not my job” while discussing why he won’t be an advocate for vaccines against coronavirus.“You guys know me, anything I talk about, I don’t talk about other people and what they should do. I speak for me and my family. That’s what it’s about,” James said. “We’re talking about individual bodies. We’re not talking about something political, or racism or police brutality.
This isn’t the first time Abdul-Jabbar has criticized James’ handling of COVID-19, among other public issues.
