LeBron James said Tuesday that he was a skeptic of the coronavirus vaccine but that he ultimately decided to get inoculated.

I know that I was very [skeptical] about it all, but after doing my research, and things of that nature, I felt like it was best suited for not only me but for my family and for my friends, and that's why I decided to do it.” The Lakers’ general manager Rob Pelinka said last week that all his players would have to be vaccinated by the season opener on Oct. 19.
