In this Dec. 23, 2018, file photo, Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James stands during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Memphis Grizzlies in Los Angeles. James is sorry for posting a lyric that referenced"Jewish money." LeBron James says his thoughts on social justice can't be contained on the back of a basketball jersey.
"It was no disrespect to the list that was handed down to all the players," James said Saturday in a confernece call from Florida. "I commend anyone that decides to put something on the back of their jersey. It's just something that didn't seriously resonate with my mission, with my goal." "I would have loved to have a say-so on what would have went on the back of my jersey," James said. "I had a couple of things in mind, but I wasn't part of that process, which is OK. ... Everything that I do has a purpose, has a meaning. I don't need to have something on the back of my jersey for people to understand my mission or know what I'm about and what I'm here to do.
"This is the mission I've been on for a long time now," James said. "It's great that a lot of people's ears are opening. A lot of people are understanding, a lot of people are recognizing. A lot of people still don't get it, and a lot of people are still afraid to talk about the racism that goes on in America, especially for our people. ... But we have some ears, and we will continue to push the envelope and let everyone know that we are human as well.
Who cares!

I dont think anyone who wishes to be truthful is really surprised.

He should've worn it, to show some support!!
Good he came to his senses ! Sports should not be politicized. Like music & art, it is a universal language.
Just play ball. Please.
If he did it would say: I ❤️ Xi Jinbing

He is going to face huge backlash from a small go rip of people but this is a smart move on his part He knows BLM isn’t what they pretend to be and he has been around long enough to know most fans don’t appreciate being “preached” at He also does more to walk the walk than most
For the better probably. LeBron actually goes and puts boots on the ground to improve the black community.
Breaking news Lebron won’t get a BLM face tat. Is he a racist? If not why won’t he tattoo his face?
Better than the SocialInjustice messages worn by Braves NHLBlackhawks EdmontonEsks Chiefs. Focus on those who are continuing to do harm like CTVsports or TSN_Sports who profit from IndigenousRacism. You are not in the position to throw stones KingJames.
LeBron has never been much of a thinker.
That muthafuker. It’s almost as if he’s given millions to help black communities. Who does he think he is. Doesn’t he know he could solve racism with a social justice jersey.
