Basketball great LeBron James says he decided to get the coronavirus vaccine because it "best suited" him, his family and his friends.

The 36-year-old Los Angeles Lakers star said he researched the vaccine before receiving it, having originally been "very sceptical".

It has been reported 90% of NBA players have been vaccinated prior to the new season beginning on 19th October.

Some have refused to confirm their status or say they will not be jabbed.

James said it was not his place to judge others or persuade people to get the injection.

The NBA does not require players to receive a vaccine, but they will be subject to local health protocols.
