Dec 28 (Reuters) - LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar see eye-to-eye on social-justice issues, but they've got some distance to go to reach common ground on COVID-19.
Abdul-Jabbar recently took to his Substack to criticize James for a COVID-19 meme James posted to Instagram on Dec. 24. The meme shows three Spider-Men pointing at one another, with the labels "covid," "cold" and "flu" superimposed over each figure.
"To directly address LeBron's confusion ... experts agree that COVID-19 is at least 10 times more lethal than the flu. As for the common cold, death is extremely rare." "We're all for freedom, but not at the expense of others nor if it damages the country," Abdul-Jabbar wrote. "That's why we mandate seatbelts, motorcycle helmets, car insurance, education for our children."
