It is the hope of Lakers star LeBron James that NBA players continue to speak out about social injustice and police brutality once the season is over.
Lakers coach Frank Vogel’s “stay in the moment” approach has brought his team to the threshold of an NBA championship.
“I know I’ll do my part, as much as I can do on continuing to create change, continue to educate, continue to enlighten my community and communities all over the word that listen to me and follow me throughout my journey,” James said. “Like I said, you can control what you can control. What you can’t, sometimes as much as it hurts, you just try not to worry about it.”The Lakers have decided to wear their “Black Mamba” uniforms in Game 5 as another way of honoring legend Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers are 4-0 wearing those uniforms this postseason and would like nothing better than to win the title wearing them.Bryant, along with Nike, helped to collaborate on the uniform design. “It means something. Something more than just a uniform,” James said. “It represents an individual who gave the franchise 20 years of his blood, sweat and tears and his dedication to his craft, both on and off the floor, to make that franchise be proud of him, and hopefully vice versa.”Rob Pelinka, the Lakers’ vice president of basketball operations and general manager, came in seventh place in the voting for the NBA’s executive of the year with 14 votes, including one first-place vote.
