Kareem Abdul Jabbar thinks unvaccinated NBA players should be given an ultimatum: get vaccinated or find another job. I wish a reporter would press Lebron James for his opinion on all this because a few months ago he duck the question when he was asked if he was vaccinated.

Agreed! James has an opinion on every other subject on earth and the press laps it up like nectar starved hummingbirds. They are terrified of being blacklisted by him, so they only ask softball questions. Real journalism died some time ago.

Stop letting NBA anti-vaxxers spout COVID-19 misinformation (yahoo.com)
Loud, proud and wrong took center stage on podiums across the NBA, with star players gladly spouting off misinformation and nonsense reminiscent of presidential campaigns of recent vintage.

The NBA is back! Unfortunately, so are its Covid-19 skeptics. - CNNPolitics
The best response to anti-vaxxer players came from Orlando Magic center Robin Lopez, who suggested that he wasn't sure that the Milwaukee Bucks, the team which his twin brother, Brook, plays on, had actually won the NBA championship last year because he hadn't seen it in person. He then suggested he would "do his own research" to arrive at a conclusion.

Then he should just say that rather than using opaque language. Another common phrase you hear regarding the vaccine is "I'm still doing research" which really means I'm an anti-vaxxer but I'm ashamed to admit it.
