“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.”
