This is true leadership and a breath of fresh air after yesterday's news that three big time NBA stars (Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal, and Andrew Wiggins) are proudly and openly antivaxxers.

(64,413 posts)I was watching the replay of First Take, and Jay Williams, ESPN host & former NBA player, reported that he had talked to the league's head doctor. (He mentioned him by name, but I don't recall it.)
"Well over" 90% of players & 100% of staff are vaxxed.
There are 450 rostered players on the 30 teams, & at least 405 are like Lilliard. My Bulls are said to have all 15, though that's not confirmed by the team.
It's morons like Wiggins & Irving that get the attention, but HUNDREDS of the players did the smart thing.
