James is catching plenty of heat for the post. Some think he's downplaying COVID-19,
which has killed over 800,000 Americans, as something as relatively benign as a cold or the flu, while others wonder if he's commenting on the difficulties presented by the similarities of the symptoms.
It's impossible to know for sure what LeBron was going for without hearing him expand on his point here.
LeBron has had his own COVID-19 frustrations this season. The Lakers forward, who is vaccinated, was placed in COVID-19 protocols on Nov. 30 after a positive test the day before. On Dec. 2, he was cleared to return to play after reportedly testing negative eight times, with the NBA saying the original tests delivered “conflicting results.”
The Lakers have been dealing with other COVID-19 absences in the weeks since, including Avery Bradley, Austin Reaves and Malik Monk.
“Well this is the unknown, obviously, you don’t know,” James said Thursday, via All Lakers. “This is like I said, I say every year has its own challenges and this is another year where you can literally have one guy one night and the next night you won’t. You really don’t know, it’s up in the air.
“It’s literally a crapshoot every single time you take a test at this point on who is negative and who is positive. You just gotta see who is available and go from there.”
In September, James revealed he was vaccinated after initially saying he would keep his status private. He also said he would not try to convince anyone else to take the vaccine.
The fake death count is killing hopes to get back to normal. It is nothing for a NBA player to catch a cold. The sheep like Lebron are waking up
