Being a 15-time All-Star and one of the best centers in NBA history won't protect you from getting the coronavirus. Because of that, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal is doing everything he can to protect himself amidst the ongoing pandemic.
As is often the case, O'Neal isn't afraid to show off his comedic side as he posted a video on Twitter of him showering himself with Lysol cleaning product.

Joking aside, the coronavirus pandemic has affected the entire world but has had major repercussions on the sports world as a whole. After Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus earlier in the month. Since Gobert's diagnosis, several other NBA players have contracted COVID-19 including four players on the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday according to the team.
Per the New York Times, the coronavirus has now affected all 50 states in the U.S. with 5,726 confirmed cases and over 100 dead. Worldwide, that number leaps to nearly 200,000 cases with 7,987 deaths.
