Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Jonathan Isaac from the Orlando Magic about what NBA doctors actually told players about masks, what really happened in the NBA bubble in Orlando, and how he was treated by his teammates after refusing to kneel during the national anthem. First, Jonathan explains how fear was used to manipulate players at the beginning of COVID. Next, Jonathan shares what it was really like to live in the NBA bubble. Jonathan also reveals how a journalist from Rolling Stone misled him in order to smear him in the press and what happened after he refused to obey the NBA vaccine mandate. Finally, Jonathan shares the fallout from fans and teammates for refusing to kneel and why sports and politics should be kept separate.
