00:00 I'm Jill Painter Lopez with Sports Illustrated here with Melissa Roland and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
00:14 giving a huge assist to the medical community by donating 900 goggles.
00:19 What did you think about this show of support by Kareem during the COVID-19 pandemic?
00:24 Definitely, I think the more that NBA players whether former or current are doing stuff
00:30 like this to raise awareness, doing what they can to help out the medical community.
00:34 I think that's huge and I think it also inspires people who maybe don't have the funds to donate
00:39 900 goggles or do a big act like that to think in their own head, how can I help out?
00:45 Whether that's making food for local hospital workers or in whatever way other people can
00:50 assist and obviously Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has an incredible history with UCLA.
00:56 He helped them win three national championships so it was just a beautiful act to help out
00:59 UCLA Health Center.
01:01 And of course he's no stranger to wearing goggles either.
01:05 That is very true.
