LeBron James says his thoughts on social justice can't be contained on the back of a basketball jersey.

One of the protesters was struck and killed.The Los Angeles Lakers superstar won't wear one of the NBA-approved social justice messages on the back of his jersey when the NBA resumes competition later this month in the Orlando bubble.

As part of the NBA's recognition of the nationwide invigoration of the social justice movement sparked by the death of George Floyd, NBA players are allowed to choose from a lengthy list of possible messages for their jerseys during the league's restart. James is among just a few who declined to choose one of the messages, he said.

The 35-year-old superstar has a long history of social involvement and advocacy for progressive causes. James speaks frequently of what he feels is a responsibility to campaign for positive social change from his powerful position in sports and pop culture.

......nor could his ego.

Universities limit the number of Asian students, and why the NBA does not limit the number of blacks. We Asians need a higher score to enter the university, I suggest that Asian basketball players score one goal and count two, otherwise it would be unfair.

CHINA CONNECTION...

He doesn’t have “thoughts”. He goes whichever way the wind blows. NBA bows to China Lebron falls in line. Even though they do everything he disagrees with. Allegedly. Money drives him and he doesn’t want history to view him like it views Jordan. He’s a fraud. Just like the left

I so don't miss basketball for that matter any sports. Family time is so much better.

So what are they?

Who really cares?

For America. He has no thoughts on the murders and social injustices in China

Labron has never lived in injustice he was getting paid as a 14 yr old kid. He was a free ride to best schools.btt he was old enough to even think for himself he may have lived normal life for 4 yrs no time to know oppression

The operative word was 'approved'.

People watch sports to escape politics . Boycott sports which can’t separate the two .

NBA is a joke.. NOTHING BUT ACTORS..

Yes poor lebron. Attended a private school at 10,000 a year tuition.

Coward

Did he tell nba that? They're still going ahead with it. Or maybe he can't get paid off a message?

Especially if it's critical of China.

Still same BS from LeBron social justice..you should thank God daily for your $$$ & good life..Go back Akron spend your money maybe another 50,000 sq ft house for you & your inflated ego.!! Corinthians, “Faith, Hope & Charity” & greatest is Charity..!! You & Kapernick 2 Big BS.!

sure that`s a hell of challenge to to string that many words together much less them without assistance from someone !

When you ask NBA about HONG KONG they all lose their voice.....laryngitis?

Truth.

Full shit

Jordan’s better....Just get over it.

Maybe the over paid players could donate to non political charities instead of putting words on their shirts. I’m sure the boys & girls clubs could use money.

Or was LeBron speaking of this....

He has been done Wrong!!!!

Big surprise LeBron James won't speak out against Chinese atrocities, only thing he cares about his millions .

Over 7000 whites have been murdered by blacks in the past ten years alone in America....

The genesis of corona virus pandemic - find out

I'm glad. I watch sports to get away from politics and news not to get more of it

So why did he wear I cant breathe in Miami for the same crime. I dont want to believe he has a low IQ.

He is Oppressed

good, because i see KingJames for NBA entertainment - not his views off the court.

He has class

The word he was looking for is encapsulated

china

When will he finally be not around anymore?

poll Buying LeBron's excuse?

Will the back of Lebron's jersey be written in Mandarin?

Hey, the world does not revolve around LJ. If I never hear him mentioned again, it’ll be too soon.

Even if they could, nobody cares anyway.

King Hypocrite.

Can't wait to read all the tweets from 'woke' white people demonizing a black man.

He's a clown.

LOL - LeBron doesn’t want to get pounded on China again. Who we trying to fool here?

Immediate cancellation required.

He should quit and then hecould wear big shirts all the time

News4SA What’s his thoughts on Hong Kong?

I’ll bet they could

FUCK THE NBA.

yea, that a lot words to attempt to complete &/or spell ?

Somehow I believe this... 'Worldpeace' didn't do shit

F this clown.

Because he can't spell them.

Just in an complete ass-clown tweet

Thanks?

Lol that’s a cop out answer

Aka

Sure it can...”only black lives and my money matter”...that was easy

Dishonest exaggeration does not help the dialogue about important issues. I lost respect for Lebron when he recently tweeted 'We're literally hunted EVERYDAY/EVERYTIME we step foot outside the comfort of our homes!'

If CCP asks...

Who?

James is owned by Nike which is owned by the Chinese Communist Party. He's never once spoken out about that countries atrocities. Not once.

Thanks to a nation full of racists (according to the left), each year Lebron James makes more money IN INTEREST from the funds in his checking account than the 99% of Americans do as their annual income.

How about in the hair of a Muslim in a Chinese concentration camp?

He could put ‘under contract’

Love Kwai Leonard. He works hard, is tremendous and doesn’t complain to refs, even when they make a bad call. I liked Lebron until he made his egotistical Miami trade show with Dwayne Wade and Bosh. Have always been for the other team he is not on since.

Thoughts on China? Any?

His choice

Lebron has a right to his opinion.

His shoes are made by slaves. His opinions on social justice are irrelevant

I could care less if this racist “black privileged” BLM player ever steps on a BB court! BoycottRacistNBA

Why is the opinion of an athlete newsworthy?

Play in China

Most people can’t read Chinese anyway.

Keep dribbling Leeeeeeeebron!!

He’s not a team player. He thinks he’s the team

💛💛🖤🖤 💛 God is the union of all peoples 💚💚💚 Life and Hope.

No no no we need economic justice not social justice. They us because we black but they can harm us because we poor

He decided to do what he was told “shut up & dribble”.. smh

Just dribble.

Thank God for celebrities. Without them, liberals wouldn't know what to do or think.

Good. Social justice comments do not belong on a suit and tie either. You keep your political opinions out of the work place. Period.

🌎 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 The colors symbolize the union of all peoples. 💚 The green color symbolizes birth, future, life, hope. Green symbolizes nature, our land, the basis of all life on our planet. 🌍 🌏 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Some form of the f word, & 'dont want to be around white people' not allowed, huh?

We will never forget arab and atlantic slave trade 💪🏿

MAYBE HE SHOULD STOP THE TALK AND DO SOMETHING IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY IF CHINA WILL LET HIM

People need to follow this man's lead

K that his personal choice

I’d just put dollar signs on all their jerseys to remind them that if you work hard enough, any dream is possible in America. Race has very little to do with whether you are a success. Work ethic, education, and sometimes a combination of God given talent and luck. 🇺🇸

Sell out

And wayfair is also using its platform for Epsteins buddies to traffic children for rape. But let's focus on this story.

I am interested if he donated ?

THIS WILL BE BIDENS AMERICA

WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT HE SAYS

DOUBLE TALK FROM JAMES...God given abilities people are thankful for & what help them secure a just and-rewarding life..Lebron wouldn’t be able mouth off as he & others do if it weren’t for their place in life & lots of $$$..James should go back Akron & thank God for his life..!

Attitude matters

Basically what LeBron is saying is he chooses to “Shut up and Dribble”...

He makes 60 million a year. Has no idea what racism is.... KingJames

Good, shut up and play your game. If you need to express your SWJ thoughts put it in a book, maybe include a 8-pack of crayons.

His thoughts can’t fill up a postcard.

lol, he throws a little ball through a ring....I know circus seals who do that

Wow! That’s something to Ponder about!

Who gaf what this dude thinks...

I’m going to just put this here because you know it triggers the f out of Libturds. RogerStone PhukTheLeft

Yeah he’s had it so rough must be tough being black nowadays. Yeah he’s had it so rough must be tough being black nowadays.

If stay at home boomer grandma’s get their way there won’t be basketball until 2050 anyway.

The best player ever

Well said KingJames
