he's not alone contin jo-- contingent in the nba. >> the nba has an almost secret society of straightyers denied the virus existed. kyrie's family is quoting about dr. false and another player was saying masks don't work and then there is a theory floating around about moderna mind control that doesn't deserve amplification here if the nba was all in on science and this pandemic proof bubble, hoopers are sick of testing. they don't want to get tested on their days off in fact, they want to go to the club it's a race against time and fake news for the nba to shame the vaccine deniers into denying the next super star, superspreader event. >> what worries me about this, jamel, is that we're talking about black players who have a lot of fans and a lot of in influence and are parroting it if kyrie irving is saying it's a conspiracy, it's hard for you to get your cousin to get vaccinated, as well. there was stories in this about ckyrie irving going to home and going to school events unmasked and had to alter photos because he was violating rules meeting with young people. this is terrifying

and the nba and the players have to follow these rules.of the nba players, over 90% are vaccinated. and they are 100% fine. and i feel like if you don't follow the rules, sports like nba could be canceled again or we will have to force -- go to nba bubble one more time and i know no players want that. nba invests lots of money and time and help and you look at the players, they listen to the doctors about everything. surgeries, diets, and, you know, injuries. but when it comes to vaccination, they -- >> you say it is 90% or so vaccination rate among nba players. you wish it were 100%? >> i wish. but i think we are getting there. more and more nba players are getting educated and doing more research every day. and we are actually holding meetings in a locker room about it. and i think, you know, just -- i feel like we should be led by examples because we have a huge following. and there are so many people out there that are idolizing us. we have to be community leaders and just go out there and say, listen, vaccination is a must and i feel

i forgot the nba officials, they will be vaccinated. francisco will be very interesting to navigate. the nba has responded already, not necessarily to those regulations, but in stating their own regulations and how they will treat vaccinated and unvaccinated players. there will be two completely different paths in terms of what you are allowed to do. i think they're setting the tone early and it's going to be very challenging for players who are unvaccinated. >> we're seeing that happen in football where players are on two different tracks completely. stephanie redi, great to see you. >>> tom brady who is a health nut, won't eat tomatoes, but has to be vaccinated. i think it shows you how safe they are. >> everyone wants to be able to play. they don't want this to be threatened. in alabama, nick saban said every person except one person is vaccinated. the vaccination rate is 36% i believe still. >> it is. i'm glad you brought it back to alabama. >> everything for me comes back to alabama at some point. >> millions of americans behind on

but i'm certain that the nba papa is going to have something to say about this as it relates to the nbae got a little bit of time left, and i'm going to summarize the following quote from nba legend kareem abdul jabbar, who basically said the nba should insist that all players and staff are vaccinated or remove them from the team. we've seen vaccine mandates divide communities. is it happening in the nba? it's starting to happen. and with with all due respect and reverence uh to such a great and a great social activists, i think such a handy handed approach perhaps would just exacerbate that once again, while this is a private industry, and this is a free country, andrew wiggins and kyrie, irving and bradley bill and others who are of that roughly 15% of the nba that remains unvaccinated. wallace private citizens, they have the latitude to go and come as they choose and beyond vaccinated and still try to move maneuver throughout industries. they cannot do that within the nba, but i believe such a heavy handed approach and taking such a staunch line in the sand, uh, with such a heavily p

let's discuss with basketball legend two-time nba champion and 12-time nba all-star isaiah thomas.ou. what's your reaction to the nba's decision here? was it the right move? >> it definitely was the right move, and, aprila, that's a lot of money to lose per game, but i think this is definitely the right way to go. when you don't show up for work you don't get paid, and there's clear-cut evidence in terms of the science behind what we're asking everyone to do, and the rules have been laid out. now the players they do have a choice now. you can either follow the rules or there are consequences for not following the rules. the consequences for not following the rules are you lose money from your paycheck. >> if the goal is to ultimately get everybody vaccinated, you have to wonder is this going to do the trick, right? fellow legend kareem abdul-jabbar says get vaccinated or just remove players from the team all together. he says there's no room for unvaccinated players. what do you think about that? should the nba take this even a step further? >> no. i think that the nba and also spo

not nba.also, the nba said we're going to enforce that too, including the players. then they made an exception for road teams and their players don't have to. i guess their logic is in their home city. they don't have to. so they're not want to make them do it when they come to a robot, it also kind of feels like it defeats the purpose. if the purpose is safety. so it's kind of a contradictory and you know, but. other people to get paid way more than me make what they what they tell us. but it is confusing. so all road teams. road teams don't have to follow those rules. but if you play for the warriors and you're not vaccinated. you won't be able to play at the chase center this year. well, you think a city law would override anything anybody else has to say when they come to this city, right game. you know, maybe of the city wants to play hardball. they can be like we don't care about the nba rules. we make the rules so, you know, play cross that bridge when we get there. luckily, i don't hav
