Photo: Shirt LeBron James Wore To Arena vs Utah Jazz Going Viral

LeBron James made more than one statement when the Los Angeles Lakers went vs. the Utah Jazz. The NBA bubble is back and fans all across the league are very excited to see what comes next. The Lakers are ready to try to get back to the NBA Finals once again.

But with everything going on in the world these days, basketball might have to take a bit of a back seat. The COVID-19 situation is as bad as ever and that isn’t even all. Black Lives Matter is still in full force, even after the start of the NBA season.

LeBron James once again used his massive following to make a statement with his wardrobe.

He got to the arena sporting a black t shirt with a very simple phrase on it. It is clear that he still feels very strongly about the BLM movement.

On the black shirt, you could see the word “Minneapolis” with a watch that read “08:46”. The shirt was obviously referencing George Floyd, who was killed back in May while in police custody. Former Officer Derek Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s neck for an entire eight minutes and 46 seconds.

“You think about 8 minutes and 46 seconds, an officer having his knee on someone’s throat for that long. Video or no video, it doesn’t matter,” James said. “No one deserved to lose their life when it could have been prevented from what I’ve seen and from what the world has seen. So that’s what the T-shirt is all about: The world is watching. Everyone knows the time. Everyone knows what’s going on.”

“I think it was a little bit over four minutes,” James continued. “And we actually as a unit, as a team, had to switch our knees over from one knee to the other knee because they started to get sore. They started to kind of start hurting a little bit. And that’s just a little over four minutes.”

James has been on this grind for a long time now and it seems like he is working harder now than ever. What do you think?
