“I want to thank the doctors and nurses at UCLA for all that they are doing,” Abdul-Jabbar said in a video message recorded for UCLA Health’s website. “You guys are awesome, risking your lives to help the public. I would like to do my part, so I’m going to use my influence and have my team source quality medical products such as protective eyewear goggles. … You guys should have all the best equipment while you’re on the frontline. Thank you for all you do, and good luck.”

Kareem made goggles cool. 

The big man is still making a difference.
