NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar calls for unvaccinated players to be removed from teams

CNN

If NBA players are not vaccinated, they shouldn’t be on the team, basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told Rolling Stone.

“The NBA should insist that all players and staff are vaccinated or remove them from the team,” said Abdul-Jabbar.

“There is no room for players who are willing to risk the health and lives of their teammates, the staff and the fans simply because they are unable to grasp the seriousness of the situation or do the necessary research.”

Abdul-Jabbar has been a vocal advocate for getting the Covid-19 vaccine. The NBA great received his vaccine on camera and appeared in an NBA public service announcement encouraging others to get vaccinated.

The NBA does not require players to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to play. However, referees and other staff who work closely with players are required to be fully vaccinated.

  1. And CNN is just aching to put stupid stories like this in their news because we should trust them and NOT “do our own research”. Pathetic.

    They have no more false facts to throw out there to try and prove that vaccines are good, so they resort to childish stories like this. So sad.

  2. Who?

    Didn’t he become irrelevant around 1970 ish ??
    Or maybe he was irrelevant all his life

    If you take advice on your health from someone who bounced a ball for money
    Don’t come crying to me when your constantly dribbling
