In recent years, James has been one of the more vocal NBA players when it comes to social justice concerns, especially in connection with police treatment of African-Americans.
During James’ time as a member of the Miami Heat, he led a symbolic protest connected to the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012.
Two years later, as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, James protested the death of Eric Garner by wearing a shirt in pregame warmups that simply stated, “I can’t breathe.” Those words were uttered by Garner during a fatal scuffle with police.
James is continuing to focus on returning to the court, though a recent report indicates that he may be weeks away from getting back in uniform for the Lakers.
