LeBron James doubles down after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar claim

Abdul-Jabbar still isn't a fan of LeBron James' statements about COVID-19, and the led to an online essay and response from James himself.

Two months after calling out James' hesitancy to promote the vaccine, the NBA's all-time leading scorer again logged onto his Substack to criticize the Los Angeles Lakers star, this time for a widely criticized meme James posted to his Instagram page.

The offending meme: a three-way Spider-Man pointing meme with the figures labeled "covid," "cold" and "flu," the obvious implication being that three illnesses are basically the same, which is empirically false. James captioned the image "Help me out folks."

The post remains up, for all 106 million of James' Instagram followers.
