The administration of the COVID-19 vaccines has been one of the most polarizing issues in America today. Despite the scientific data provided with regards to the many benefits of vaccination, there are still a fair amount of Americans who refuse to get vaccinated. Basketball Hall of Famer Ray Allen has some pretty strong feelings about this issue and he wasn't shy about sharing them with the world.
Allen took to Instagram to share some key statistics about the COVID-19 vaccine. The Miami Heat legend accompanied the graphic with a feisty message which appears to take aim at the anti-vaxxers:

One prominent NBA personality that gave Allen his full backing is none other than Heat team owner Micky Arison. The billionaire businessman shared Allen's post on his personal Twitter account:

Ray Allen gained legendary status among Heat fans after helping the team win the title in 2013. It looks like he has a clear path to a coaching gig for the Heat sometime in the future too, with Allen recently accepting a head coaching post for a high school varsity team in Miami. This may not happen anytime soon, with coach Erik Spoelstra still at the helm, but for his part, Micky Arinson is maintaining close ties with Allen.
