Jackson and Floyd were great friends. They even considered themselves twins because they look the same. Jackson has been leading many protest. This is one of the many protest he has taken part in. Floyd’s death was a big loss for the African-American community.

The NBA champion talked to Mark Spears at ESPN, and said, “[James] posted me speaking, and I text him back, I said, I appreciate you, bro. I won’t let you down. He texts me back, ‘You haven’t, and I won’t either.’”

 “Jordan might be the best basketball player ever, but LeBron is the greatest athlete ever. It’s bigger than basketball with me why I love LeBron. Every basketball player that came through there with their friends, including me, that comes with their entourage, everybody gets it wrong. LeBron the first to get it right.”
