Lakers News: LeBron James thanks UCLA medical staff

LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers teammates are all at their homes with the NBA suspended. James used this time to do a special tribute to UCLA medical staff combating COVID-19.

For the foreseeable future, the Coronavirus has knocked out all major sporting events. LeBron James, who just finished a two-week quarantine is symptom-free, along with all of his Los Angeles Lakers teammates. He went on to thank the UCLA medical staff for all of their hard work.

Los Angeles County has been a very hard hit area in recent weeks. As their cases continue to grow, people have been advised to start wearing masks in public to stop the growing rate. Doctors and nurses have been working around the clock to help fight the virus.

Their work is not going unnoticed as James made a video via TMZ. He thanks them for everything they’ve done and knows that without all they’re doing, normal life wouldn’t exist again anytime soon.

James is one of the most powerful voices in all of sports. What he says and does means volumes, not many athletes have ever had a platform as large as his. So when he does acts such as this, it can be a shot of adrenaline into all of these medical workers.

Life has been drastically changed over the last month. All the people in the medical field are heroes at the moment fighting against this virus. Many athletes are speaking up and donating to help find a cure.

Medical workers are working in extreme conditions, with little to no protection. They’re working 24-hour shifts with no sleep. Their determination is being put on full display for the world to see.

LeBron and his family know the importance of them. Thank you to UCLA for their continued fight against COVID-19, as well as all medical fields around the world.

You’re the real heroes.
