00:00I'm Jill Painter-Lopez with Sports Illustrated here with Melissa Roland and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
00:07giving a huge assist to the medical community by donating 900 goggles.
00:13What did you think about this show of support by Kareem during the COVID-19 pandemic?
00:18Definitely.
00:19I think the more that NBA players, whether former or current, are doing stuff like this
00:24to raise awareness, doing what they can to help out the medical community, I think that's
00:28huge.
00:29I think it also inspires people who maybe don't have the funds to donate 900 goggles
00:34or do a big act like that to think in their own head, how can I help out?
00:38Whether that's making food for local hospital workers or in whatever way other people can
00:44assist.
00:45And obviously, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has an incredible history with UCLA.
00:49He helped them win three national championships.
00:52So it was just a beautiful act to help out UCLA Health Center.
00:55And of course, he's no stranger to wearing goggles either.
00:59That is very true.
