Kareem Abdul-Jabbar , Slams LeBron James, Over COVID Meme.
Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
didn't take kindly to a recent Instagram
post authored by LeBron James.
The post contained a meme with three versions of Spider-Man pointing, only this time the labels read "cold," "flu" and "covid.".
The caption of
James' post reads,
"help me out folks.".
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took to Substack to vocalize his frustration with James' apparent lack of education about COVID-19.
The NBA Hall of Famer didn't mince words, calling the post "a blow to his worthy legacy.".
The meme’s implication is
that LeBron doesn’t understand
the difference among
these three illnesses. , Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, former professional
