Los Angeles Lakers players celebrate NBA championship (from the Lakers' Twitter account)

NBA legend Karim Abdul Jabbar claims that the post he posted to Baron James on Instagram about the corona virus was "a blow to his legacy."

LeBron used Spider-Man's famous water, in which three superheroes who look the same point to each other and each says 'corona', 'flu' and 'cold'.

LeBron, in fact, compared Corona to the flu.

Abdul Jabbar claimed that "it is clear from the things that LeBron does not understand the difference between these three diseases, despite all the information presented in the media."

Abdul Jabbar, who is considered one of the greatest players in the Lakers of all time, has in the past repeatedly praised LeBron James for his social involvement, but this time criticized him.

"While LeBron is an important voice in criticizing police violence against the black community, he should be an equally ardent supporter of vaccines, which could save the lives of thousands of blacks at the moment," Abdul Jabbar wrote.

In the past he complimented LeBron, now not.

It should be noted that LeBron has made it clear in the past that he has been vaccinated, yet stressed that he will not try to persuade anyone to do so. Recently James went into isolation after a positive test, but returned very quickly to the pitches after only two days. However, the Lakers, like the entire league, suffered a number of absences due to the Corona and careful league rules.

As is well known, almost all teams in the NBA suffer from many shortages, signing players for a short period in order to fill a place, and a number of games have even been canceled, with the epidemic obscuring the entire season. Just the last day Phoenix coach Monty Williams and Portland coach Chonsi Billups joined the list of missing coaches (along with Chicago and Lakers coaches, among others), while in Boston Jason Taitum joined the list. Brooklyn coach Steve Nash, on the other hand, claims that "there is a chance that Kevin Durant will return next week. As for Kyrie, I'm not sure, but he's coming back, he's getting closer."

Meanwhile the league has changed the regulations a bit, and vaccinated players will have shorter isolation - after only six days, rather than 10 days - after data reviewed by the league showed that vaccinated people are cured faster.
